VA Eastern Kansas Healthcare System – Topeka

I used to visit this Topeka VA center frequently and some times had to go to Leavenworth and KC. I relocated to the Tulsa, OK area. I was never displeased with the VAMC in Topeka, usually content and satisfied. I did… not know how good I had it! I miss the Topeka VA very much. The Oklahoma system state wide is bad and Tulsa in particular. It is leagues behind in all categories. Topeka is a very good facility with good friendly staff and nicer and more thoughtful amenities to boot. I have experienced the contrast.

I have been so fortunate to be part of the VA system and hands down the Topeka Kansas VA is the absolute best one

This VA does not help with appointments

As a disabled veteran, I have never been treated with such disregard as I have at the Topeka VA’s so-called “veteran ride program.” Recently, a non-medical staff member informed me that I “do not qualify” for… transportation services — even though I cannot safely drive myself to medical appointments. This decision was not based on any medical evaluation, yet it directly affects my ability to access the care I have earned and deserve. Veterans should not have to beg for basic transportation to vital appointments, especially when programs are publicly advertised as being here to support us. The indifference and gatekeeping I experienced are unacceptable. Programs like this exist because veterans face barriers to care — not to create new ones. The VA should be ashamed of treating disabled veterans as if we are an inconvenience instead of a priority.

Best healthcare, friendly staff, I enjoy my visits.

VA service quite obviously diminished in the past 4 years with the Biden Admin.!

Not sure

I live in Emporia it takes me one hour to drive to the VA in Topeka. The VA says it cares about its veterans but Community Care won’t let me see my Urologist in Emporia because I don’t live far enough away and my cancer… care is just monitoring by the physician. So VA won’t pay for my Urologist visits in Emporia because they want me to drive one hour to Topeka. I am 75 and a widower.

Great place to get great help.

SHOUT OUT ONCE AGAIN FOR THE LEAVENWORTH VA. I have been experiencing severe lower left back pain since Wednesday. When it hits, a sunami! Can't move fast, sit easy, walk , without severe pain. Pain meds, TENS Unit,… heating pad. Helps some. Decided to go the the VA Emergency Room for the first time ever. In and out in 60 minutes. From reception to pharmacy, they were outstanding. Definite 10 on a 1 low to 10 high scale! My ER Nurse was Debbie. Very personable and experienced. The Doctor was Dr. Glen Georger. Diagnosed quickly and prescribed a shot of my favorite- MORPHINE BABY! And a steroid shot. Gave me a RX for prednisone too. The pharmacist and tech were awesome. I am thankful we have a VA hospital as Dwight D. Eisenhower Eastern Kansas VA that is clean, orderly and great service. THANK YOU VHA.

I have always been happy with the service provided.

This place has some serious pros and cons...but its "good" thing are better than its "Bad" things, so we'll go with 4 stars.

I've been involved with the VA since 2012. There have been ups and downs over the years but overall amazing care. The Behavioral Health Staff is incredible and the LEC is ran by top notch providers and I don't know… where I'd be without the help and guidance of the Home Telehealth program and the support my wife gets from the Caregiver Program is amazing and I then benefit from that care she is able to provide. I have had two doctors that I owe my life to as well multiple nurses and social workers. The entire crew is so much better than I deserve. People are quick to dog the VA. I say this. Everything has good things and bad things. There are things you can and can't control at the VA and in life. The sooner you can acknowledge that and accept this the sooner life will become less stressful! I am so thankful for the Topeka VA. I am happier than a pig in poop about the care I receive and where I am now. Life is good!👍Again thanks guys!

Though I was provided with loads of resources, I do not feel that all of my concerns were taken seriously. The behavioral health building was of more help the the actual ER. In the end, I decided to try another VA in a… different state.

The VA hospital in Topeka I think it's one of the best VA hospitals in the United States they have done a lot for me. They take really good care of me.

I am a disabled veteran. I receive wonderful and respectful care from all of the staff at this location. The architecture might be a bit outdated like most VA facilities but they're working hard at renewing it and… trying to do it with least impact to us patients. Much work ahead in that dpt. But I gave it 5 because of people resources alone!

Came here for PWRP And SDTP, Combat Veteran, would highly recommend these programs, totally changed my life, I'm a better husband and father, thank you SDTP

Very professional staff and doctors. Very clean facility. Excellent pharmacy with prescriptions mailed to you within days. Excellent customer service and scheduling personnel.

Medical center for veterans. A nice place to visit with other veterans and get healthy
