VA HOSPITAL, GNV - Gainesville (FL)

5 /5 Alison (Ruth Esther): Free coffee at the main hospital front entrance and a shuttle golf cart ride from the parking lot on a rainy day are big pluses in my book. It’s a long drive from Jacksonville but the friendly staff and professional care was worth it.

5 /5 Larson Danielle (Dani): Im leaving this review for my grandfather, Harry Zimmerman. "I would like to inform all my friends that the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainsville, Fl. is an outstanding facility with the BEST teams. Dont believe any negative comments about the treatment to our Veterans, they saved my life last week in so many ways...congestive heart failure. Never did I as a Vietnam Vet, in 1966 think that I would experience the kind of wonderful treatment I have received over the last 15 years. This facility is one of the best and now you know."

1 /5 J J: This facility and the one in Lake City needs to truly be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves. It reaked of urine and smelled like a funky nursing home. The restroom was filthy and to think this is what they call acceptable for VETS??? Parking is also very inconsistent and not great at all. People deserve way better than this.

3 /5 Ronda McCauley: Called the nurse line this morning. They told me to bring mom directly to the Gainsville VA ER. Drove an hour to get here. I have now been here for over 8 hours! We got an x-ray and an ultra sound, and some blood work. Well, well see how long this takes. All because an amputation site HURTS and last time it felt like this there were blood clots. The VA really needs to do better for the Veterans. Ok, so this was originally a one star review. After 10 hours the second doctor said, "I want this other lab work done". 12 hours into this whole visit mom, was really done with this whole thing, and I was not far behind, but this doctor did find something that has been missed for many years! Mom was admitted after almost 13 hours, missing multiple medications, multiple meals, and spending 13 hours in the waiting room.

1 /5 Michael: WORST VA IN THE WORLD!! I’ve been to the VA in Vermont for 30 years.. went to this hospital after I moved and they just pure SUCK!! I went to Gainesville seeking extensive help for physical injuries/complications after and auto accident and mental health. Multiple departments don’t return phone calls and just about every department just blew me off. They appear as if they care.. but they don’t.. when I lost 5 months of this VA screwing everything up, I called Mr Williams, who the chief patient advocate had return my call as I was in desperation.. and explained to him I needed desperate help.. (you guessed it) HE NEVER CALLED ME BACK!! I transferred to Orlando….
