The Council would like to thank interim Directors Mr. Dan Snyder and Dr. David Hecht for their outstanding services and support they have provided since January 2016.
This Dr keeps denying me treatment under the VA’s Mission Act. It’s people like him that is responsible for Veteran suicides.
VA, shame on you for having belligerent, uncaring people like this.
Good morning James,
Sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the VA Health services. Most every VA facility has a Veteran Advocate who is there to help veterans who have concerns about there care. The Veteran Advocate reports directly to the VA Medical Centers Facility Director. Please contact the Veteran Advocate as soon as you can.
Have you met this guy? He’s the most arrogant, condescending, narcissistic douche bag I have ever met. His employees can’t stand him and those closest to him are terrorized. So many good staff have left because they can’t handle his “I know everything better than you” attitude. Painful guy to be in the presence of.
