James Merryfield: The receptionist has hung up on me 3 times and when I finally got her to answer she put me on hold for 20 minutes. The dentist and his people great but whoever is answering your phones on July 8,2024 at around 2-3 pm doesnt have a clue!!
Dallas Vanden: This review is unique in the fact that Ive never even seen Dr. Sanwal, but that is the same reason for this review.
He is one of two doctors who declined to see me at all.
I have already written the same review under the other doctor, for the same reason.
As veterans, we are limited to doctors within the VA Network.
I wished to discontinue treatment under Dr. Mahmood.
When the VA contacted Dr. Sanwals office, they were informed Dr. Sanwal wouldnt even consider me as a patient because "they dont do second opinions".
Ive been diagnosed, not by Dr. Mahmood, there is no opinion.
The VA expressed that fact upon Dr. Sanwals staff, but they informed the VA that the doctor "Considers it a second opinion, therefore it is a second opinion."
I am in no way trying to force a Dr. to treat someone they dont want to.
However, I believe when a doctor enters the VA network, they obligate themselves to veterans; and that obligation is being neglected.
Ive suggested to the VA that they remove these doctors from the network and to offer better incentives to better doctors.
I believe any ongoing vouchers with veterans should be maintained, since this office understands the risk of dropping a veteran who will be denied treatment as a "second opinion".
The reason and insistence to not even allow a veteran to visit their office, is dubious.
Dr. Sanwals office may disagree their behavior, as a VA Networked doctor, is dubious;
but I consider it to be dubious behavior, therefore it is.
I advise prospective veteran patients to seek care elsewhere.
Andy Speakerman: They really screwed me , a patient of 23 years .I am going on my fifth day without my medicine while Im home dying of COPD and asthma , because they are like the fascists of mental health care .
Please read the review by Desi Greenway on their website . He may be lucky that they refuse to help him . At least now that I have given up on them helping me they have nothing to hold over my head anymore ( my medicine ) .
Back the Blue Blue Lives Matter: If patients come into emergency room for non life threatening issues and medical staff and doctors are busy with priority calls, I get it.
But have some sort of decency/respect for patients still not feeling well and waiting for their initial screening. Let them know something rather than sit and wait 5 hours! Say sorry but it will be awhile, you can leave or choose to wait. Pitiful
Valil Gentlebreeze: I keep having issues getting my prescriptions filled. Unfortunately "the system" has been down since September 2024. Maybe its because Im out of my antidepressant (Again for the third time) with no refill in sight, but I think Im not worth the time of day here.
Hoping their system gets fixed to maybe remedy my issue, but, eh. Its a shame because there are a few very wonderful doctors here.
