Veterans Affairs Oakland Outpatient Cl

This is the worst clinic I’ve ever been to as I been have been going there for a long time now, since I live in Oakland. Its unbelievable how unorganized, rude, and unprofessional this place in every way from many of the doctors — to the staff at the front desk it’s absolutely horrible. The only reason I stay there is because of my primary care doctor Dr. Flores. He has been a great help to me in every way. Besides that, I go to Martinez or San Francisco for every other thing, each chance I get. Trust me, don’t start there if you live in Oakland or close to Oakland, go to Martinez or San Francisco instead it will save you much heartache, frustration, and keep you from going crazy in that place. It’s absolutely horrible how they treat us veterans after we fought for this country. I could write a book of how horrible this place is in Oakland. Please take my word for this advice.

‘* ~ *’ – Podiatry Surgery Clinic: Number 3 Surgery on my feet! Waaaaaaah!

This hospital is a piece of shit really! They don’t have efficient workers or doctors! The little girl at the front desk in Urgent care is rude and plain slow she doesn’t even know how to properly acknowledge patients. When my friend went up to the counter she told him to go schedule the appointment himself! Fucking bitch and I feel like these men and woman have served their country and given up most of their lives to keep us safe. Only to come home and have improper, negligent health care! Really is this how our Vets are treated??? Sad day now I see why channel 7 did a story on these «Va Hospitals»

Not sure why my father comes here for his treatments. They are constantly mis informing him about his prescriptions, ie. When they call him to tell him that his meds are ready, he will arrive, and the reception staff, who seem to be constantly socializing and don’t seem to have a clue, will give him a blank look, and say,“They aren’t ready yet.” FAIL. I brought my father here to see a Dr. Chung, who’s apparently the director of the facility. We were kept waiting for 2 HOURS. The place did not look very busy, and I observed another patient that Doctor called that arrived after us. My father is a veteran of 2 wars (Korea/​Vietnam) and its appalling how they treat their former soldiers this way. In this facility, I observe signs on the walls that“anyone displaying rude or violent behavior will be thrown out.” After experiencing the service they give here, I can’t blame these poor guys.

Here you can find several enthusiastic happy medical staff. Warm and supportive. The clinic is very busy yet the staff are diligent and friendly in progressing through the line. I did receive healthy medical attention for general medical, foot clinic, physical rehabilitation, urgent care, and pharmacy.

Excellent Healthcare for Veterans who served and protected our Country.
Thanks for serving!

I’m helping my dad get all set up with the VA. The Oakland office is the closest to us and overall it’s okay.
Not in the greatest hood, but the place has free garage parking with plenty of security all around the whole building, so we feel safe. The facility is a little oldish looking, but pretty clean overall. Not too crowded and kind of mellow. Nice flat screen to watch TV while waiting.
The medical part of the facility is very good, but the administrative part has had a few problems.
We’ve had a scheduled appointment get «lost», but the waits are short and you can hop right back in there. Pharmacy is fast and efficient – 10 times better than my Kaiser.
They still haven’t fixed the camera issues for my dads ID yet. Maybe next week.
Cute blonde gal in the lab. I’ll give her my blood and pee any time.
My dad may have to get surgery on his knee, which may have to be done at the Palo Alto VA. I’ll do a review on that when the time comes.

I took my son to the VA Clinic in Martinez, not Oakland, but if the Oakland facility is as good as the Martinez facility then it gets 5 stars from me. My son served 4 years in the Marines. He is a student and had no medical insurance and became seriously ill with an upper respiratory infection. We knew the VA provided medical care but we thought it was only for disabled veterans. So, we didn’t know what to do for him.
I contacted the VA in San Francisco who pointed us in the right direction. I made a phone call or two and was able to get him seen by a doctor the same day. We walked in at 8:30 and he was all registered, approved, and sitting in the examination room by 9:30. His prescriptions were ready quickly with no sitting around for hours. The service we got was incredibly courteous and efficient. The facility is clean and people genuinely seem to CARE. Best of all, should he become ill again, he can go to any VA clinic and get treatment for free or for low co-​payment. No more worrying about our son’s health!
What a Godsend it was.

Hallelujah for the VA Clinic! As a veteran it is reassuring that, even though my service is complete, I can acquire medical care by a staff of true professionals. The phlebotomist I had was excellent; I didn’t feel the needle go in and yes, I am STD free. Everyone from the administration to the doctors are great.
