Fargo VA Healthcare System – Fargo

The ER was quick and efficient. You all even gave me sweats that matched my shirt.

I have had 2 providers here literally lie in the records. Care got worse, I was told I caused myself urinary issues that it wasn’t possible for me to have caused and totally misdiagnosed. I had to move my care to St.… Cloud VA to get proper care, they acted quickly thankfully.

The MRI folks, neurology, and the MOVE program are all awesome. The volunteers you run into are always a joy. The travel pay people must be really shorthanded because they are months behind. That must be rough. Working… as hard as you can and barely scratching the surface. Unfortunately I learned a hard lesson. The VA will not pay travel pay from Minot to Fargo. I had to travel to Fargo for emergency neurological care. Even though the neurologist told me I needed to go to Fargo to see him as soon as possible. Travel pay, only authorize travel to Bismarck because there was a neurologist that could’ve saw me in Bismarck several months later. Even though I was told a hotel was authorized. I wasn’t reimbursed for that either because the travel pay was calculated from Minot to Bismarck and Bismarck is considered too close for a hotel. Keep in mind the actual appointment was in Fargo at 8 AM. I called the travel office to see what was going on and instead of being told all of what I wrote earlier, the travel person wanted to get into an argument claiming I had submitted a travel claim to Bismarck when I had not. Eventually, I wound up calling their supervisor, Nancy. Nancy took the time to listen to what had happened and she’s the one who explained why the travel claim was altered to Bismarck. However, since my neurologist had told me to come to Fargo, she was going to work on it and a few hours later, she called back with a solution and said I would receive payment in about five days. Amazingly, even though the new travel claim was submitted by the person in charge of the travel claim appeals, the travel office denied her claim and refused payment. I genuinely do not understand why the travel office is so cruel. I used to think it was incompetence or being overworked. Now I know they really do hate us. I will never return to the Fargo VA Hospital for anything.

Is what it is!

Apparently they’re not taking any new patients… no explanation other than they aren’t taking any new patients. The lady just kept repeating it if i asked a question.

Dental and eye clinic excluded: This VA is boomer heavy and tends to be frustrated if you’re not careful about ignoring glaring problems.

I am a disabled veteran from Florida. I had an emergency problem while visiting my son in Grand Forks, ND. I went to the VA hospital in Fargo and was able to be seen immediately in the eye clinic to have my issue… resolved. The hospital and community care sent me to a retina specialist the next day to have eye surgery. This hospital and staff were exceptional and the community care team are the best! Thank you all!

Currently having a mental health crisis. Been trying for weeks to get help from fargo va. No luck. This place seriously doesn't care about veterans. Why do you work at the va? Just the money and the benefits right? You… guys surely don't care about actually helping a combat veteran that has been begging for help.

The best health care facility in the world as far as I'm concerned. Every single employee I have met their does their job above and beyond. They do their job with a smile on their face pleasant words professionalism.… The office in case Walker staff are the best medical it's out of this world have top of the line m equipment

Came down with a buddy to help him with his appointment. Everything went well. Check in process at the main entrance was fast, and they gave us accurate directions to where he needed to go. Got to cardiology and he… checked in in a few minutes. They seemed to be fairly busy helping vets.

They don't give a crap about veterans They take forever to call you back or schedule anything Doesn't matter if you're an extreme pain and can't even walk, they'll run you through hoops and make you wait two weeks Very… few employees are actually friendly. I absolutely hate coming here. It's like a jail with extremely unfriendly employees that all act like they hate their lives. One doctor can recommend something and a nurse can disobey what he wants

I was treated respectfully, they were friendly and professional.

I would absolutely never recommend this place do not leave your loved ones here . They 1000% alllow elder abuse . My husband being a veteran to and my grandpa being here . Knowing what manipulative issues hes gone… through and they have allowed . If you havw loved ones here pull them now . Find one that values your loved one and will stand up for them . Do not let the abuse continue . I have complained multiple times they will do nothing .

Best va i have ever been to

The VA has taken care of my overall health case,regime and action . When a part of that health profile was not staffed properly for so I was sent to a specialist in the community. At a cost that I wouldn’t have been… able to get the VA handled it.

Clean and nice front desk lady.

Dental work was done on 2 days.

Every time I come here it gets bigger.

DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!

Friendly staff provide excellent service.

80% disabled combat veteran, which means the VA covers my medical coverage for service related issues. They required unnecessary tests when VA provided equipment failed, then billed my private insurance for it without… my knowledge or authorization. Then when I received a bill from my insurance company, I called the VA in Fargo for an explanation only to be given the “not my dept” run around. No apologies, no offer to investigate, no resolution. Just a not my problem attitude.

Where do I begin. They don't care about you. They won't listen to you. If you are young They don't think anything is wrong with you. I've been paying out of pocket for specialist care. I've had to call the white house… va hotline to many times to get the care I think I deserve. It shouldn't be this way.

Great doctor staff very friendly
