Richland VA Clinic

The male phlembotomist was either not trained very well. He seriously need trainging on how to do the job correctly. He missed the blood vessel, instead kept fishing around stabbing my arm and wrist with the needle. The only reason I ended up at this clinic, my caregiver didn't like the drive to the Walla Walla clinic due to the price of gas. Have no choice but to give it even one star. Go somewhere else if you have to and can afford it like Loardes hospital.

No stars!!!! The only reason they get 1 is because I have no choice in the matter. Typical.

PLEASE READ!! First off I myself haven't personally been here but I know someone who has...her story is as follows...



This is my boyfriend, he may look like your everday kinda guy; but he has served 3 tours overseas and is was an airman: a well respected one at that. 4 days ago he was stung by an insect, reacting severly to this bite, we headed to our local VA. Richland VA clinic in WA state. There, they rudely refused for this veteran to be seen or treated because he was not their patient and they also stated that "they didn't have to treat him if they didn't want to." The front desk employee then began to mock him as he referenced the VA handbook; stating that a veteran can turn to a VA clinic and be seen in between patients. When asked the names of the nurse and front desk employee, they said " I'm not obligated to give you my name" as they covered their name tags. We then had no choice but to go to ER and risk the chance of having to pay out of pocket. He was diagnosed with an anaphalatic reaction which was infected at the sting sight causing cellulitis. If untreated, this veteran could have faced severe conditions. Is this how our veterans should be treated? I think not. Please share if you support our veterans and active duty military. We want to show the real colors of richland VA veteran clinic and bring light to the reality.

THIS PLACE IS DESPICABLE!! As a person who is currently in school studying to be a nurse, I'm so disgusted. You all will be a perfect example of what I will NEVER be out in the field. You should all lose your licenses (nurses work under their own license) you directly violated your oath as a nurse.

Do not go here if you are a veteran of the United States of America.
