Syracuse VA Medical Center - Syracuse (NY)

Matthew Ocean I recently ended up going to the ER at 9:30pm on a Thursday night. I was in excruciating abdominal pain, and seen after only waiting a half hour or so. While it took a while to get imaging done, the ER staff were all so kind and helpful. Doing what they could to try and relieve my pain and give me fluids. Once imaging confirmed it was my gallbladder, I was given an anti-inflammatory that helped immensely bring the pain down from a 10 to a 3. After a couple hours I was taken up to my official room and would be having surgery in the afternoon. Nursing staff overnight was so sweet, and checked on me often, but not too often where I couldn’t get some naps in. In the afternoon I was brought down to surgery and spoke with the surgeon, anesthesiologist, nursing staff, ER techs, etc. They explained everything to me and answered any questions I had. Don’t remember a thing after being wheeled into the operating room. When I was brought to my room, once again the nursing staff was so amazing to me, up until my discharge the following day. To summarize. Crouse Hospital and staff really helped me so much in an emergency situation. Everyone from the doctors, nurses, anesthesiologist, ER techs, medical technicians, nursing assistants, to even the sanitation staff and the staff who takes food orders were all seriously so incredibly gentle, caring, and sweet to me. No hyperbole, EVERY medical staff member treated me with the utmost kindness. I hope I don’t have to go to the hospital again anytime soon, but if I’m still in Syracuse, it’s Crouse. Thank you to everyone from the hospital who helped me.

Anne Malvaso Dr. Wasileski always takes extra medical steps to make sure she addresses all my medical issues. I am so grateful to her because she saved me from a heart attack. I had no pain and never had any heart issues but again, Dr. Wasileski went a bit further and from the tests she took, she immediately referred me to a Cardiologist which then resulted in open heart surgery. I have a chronic disease and I always feel so much stronger and better after my visits with her. Such an outstanding Staff and Office workers. I am so grateful Dr. Wasileski is here for our community.

Nicole Tanner Never return calls, even after calling 3x. Faxing paperwork between them and another company is NOT a simple task. Tried to leave a message after not getting called back and was hung up on.

Bruce R. I have spent a great deal of the last twenty years of my life under close medical care. I have been through countless doctors so I concider myself well educated when it comes to modern medicine. Dr Schnapp is one of the most professional physicians I have met to date. While his manner is sometimes terse he takes his job very seriously, I am not saying that he is unapproachable what I am saying is that he wants to provide the best care for his patients that he possibly can, so no nonsense. I cant think of anyone else I would want in my corner when faced with a serious medical condition. I speak from experience having been told I had stage four cancer. He kept it real, answered all of the many questions I had and I left his office with confidence that I was in the right place.
