Sacramento VA Medical Center - Mather, California

Blake H.

If you are new to the VA facility at Mather Field of Sacramento, it is a first class hospital providing excellent care to the veteran community in the area.

One clinic i have been seen recently was the Orthopedic Clinic and it falls under the Specialty category. It was easy to find because it was the only one without a building number. I was told that the number is in the works.

It was situated behind the hospital building 650 and simply labeled at the front entrance as Sacramento VA Center Consolidated Outpatient Surgical Specialty Clinic.

In particular, i was well cared for by PA-C Michelle Boskovich, the Orthopedic Injury professional, assisted by "Mike" the casting technician who also did a great job.

Then i had to go to the X-Ray Clinic by walking through the adjacent building 650. It was a great way for me to familiarize myself where the other clinics were located, such as Urology, Primary Care, and Pharmacy. The cleanliness of the place was impressive.

I did not see any sign that would direct me to the place where i wanted to go. So i ask the person at the Information Center who kindly directed me to go out of the door and across would be a 5-storey Main Hospital building where the X-Ray department would be.

The Radiology department that handles X-Ray was located on the first floor next to the main entrance. I was seen right away by a curteous technician.

Not going to lie, I’m surprised by the reviews. I’m assuming most folks are just used to substandard health care.
My husband was horribly ill today. I had to take him because he was unable to drive himself.
From the moment we walked in, it was chaos and disorganization. Nobody knows anything and they are very good at making up information. The staff shuffle around yelling to one another about tasks that need to be done. HIPAA is nonexistent. The front desk staff is just there to snack. And, the doctor we dealt with was SO lazy and clueless about her own job and hospital she works in-I thought for a moment that we were in a comedy sketch about a crappy hospital. 🏥 cannot believe this is the quality of care, we reserve for our it veterans. Whew, shameful.

Lots of great people working in many different departments.
We have had mostly positive experiences with this VA location. The Doctors, Nurses, and other levels of Medical professionals, as well as all the support staff primarily, have been great.
Sadly this is not true with all VA locations.

First I would like to thank the VA for two great hires. First Dr Kungys he was the most pleasant and knowledgeable in explaining everything during my examination. Kept it simple so that anyone could understand. His assistant Janelle Spears was so attentive, first assessing how bad my injury was and relayed her findings to the Dr. JENELLE under the Dr's order got me a better compression sleeve and she helped me put it on. She immediately started to set up my MRI appointment with the up most efficiency. I was receiving a call for an appointment and it was made. She had a calming effect in the way she interacted with me. And I immediately felt everything was going to be alright. Again kudos to the Department of Veterans Affairs for two great hires. They raised the bar of excellence to another level. And are committed to the care of not only me but to all our veterans. Respectfully Angel Sanchez Semper fi

Had an emergency with my vision. Called VA yesterday afternoon and they suggested I go to Eye Clinic at Mather AFB VA and ask for a walk-in appointment between 8am and 3pm.
Got in today between 10 and 1030 and was being seen for preliminary exam by 11am.
Beth did a wonderful job dealing with my eye tests and gathering information. She's very good with people. She made me feel at ease.
Then Dr. Cho helped me further. I could not have dreamed of faster more polite service than that which I received.

Have PTSD and want to finish yourself? No worries, the VA will see you in only THREE MONTHS and then your doc will call to reschedule the appointment to a time you can’t make it. You’ll already be gone by the time the appointment ever rolls around.

I am a traveling veteran. I came here last night after a nightmare 48+hours at the airport fleeing a dangerous situation at home in Colorado. They are so supportive and helpful and as a transgender female they have been so amazing and caring and helping me through a very difficult situation. The airport lost my bags and they bought me clothes and got the essentials and privacy to handle what I needed to handle. Social work to aod is so kind so many helpful staff! I can’t name them all.
