Albany Stratton VA Medical Center - Albany (NY)

5 /5 Laura Passantino: My husband Vincent had shoulder surgery on January 2nd with Dr. Tenuta. It went very well. He received outstanding care from this doctor plus all staff involved. They checked and double checked every step. From anesthesiologist to release all were professional and very caring. Passing the desk on the way out I thanked everyone at the nurses station for taking such good care of him! “We love our veterans!” was the reply. Fisher house was amazing as well! We are also grateful for every department at Stratton for his continuous care.

5 /5 Theodore Bielawa: My Uncle Frank J Bielawa was admitted to the /Albany /VA the first week of December recovering from Pneumonia and Covid-19. He unfortunately suffered a massive stroke just days into his recovery and is now receiving End of Life care. Frank is a 99 year old WW2 Veteran and the care hes receiving from the VA Staff on 8th Floor/ B Corridor has been Outstanding. The attending staff across all 3 shifts has attended to my uncle keeping him comfortable and clean in such a respectful and professional manner, its been overwhelming from my past experiences visiting other private facilities. For Veterans who are in need of Medical Help and Assistance, the Albany VA and the Staff of the 8 Floor are the Standard for Excellence in Veteran Care. On behalf of my Uncle Frank who has lost the ability to communicate, thank you , thank you , thank you ...10 Stars

2 /5 Maria Martinez: My husband is a veteran, and he is being treated in Albany V.A. Last Monday, December 17, 2024, he had an intervention from Albany Med and then he was transferred back to Albany Veterans Hospital, when I go back to the Veterans Hospital to the first floor at information area is employed with an unprofessional attitude and with a not very friendly attitude and I was trying to explain to her that I wanted to know what room my husband was in, that he had received an intern surgery ect ect and then this lady asks me in Spanish, do you speak Spanish? and I said yes and she told me because your English is horrible, I let her finish and she was trying to speak Spanish and her Spanish was just as bad or worse, (my mother tongue is Spanish, but I defend myself in English, Its not perfect but I dare to talk about it) my point is that a "professional" person should not speak like that to a person or patient who visits a hospital, I already know her last name and I told her that I am going to report her. for not being a professional and trying to belittle or want to humiliate me because of my English and to top it all off I am Hispanic, her last name is Santana, I had never had the bad taste of meeting an employee as despicable as her

5 /5 Ward Capeci: I am surprised to see negative reviews about Albany Stratton VA. I have used their services for years. I see my GP regularly, have been referred to and seen by Specialty Clinicians and have had 3 operations performed here. I have nothing bad to say about any of them. I have always been treated with the utmost of respect and received the best care possible by a professional, knowledgeable and friendly staff. I have not once had an unpleasant experience. From the moment I walk in the door I am greeted by smiling faces. The folks in the blood labs, pharmacy, optometry and cafeteria work every bit as hard to make me feel valued as the various doctors and nurses I see. The facilities are spotless. I was once a veteran with unresolved psychiatric and substance abuse issues and this hospital saved my life by getting me the help I needed and for that I will always be grateful.

5 /5 Joe Franze: This place has literally saved my life in the past. Provides treatment for all my conditions and supplies all my medications. I both respect and admire all of the staff. Always generally concerned for my health and very respectful.
