I worked for the VA FOR 30 ears. Your records are at the Gainesville VA as the VA has electronic medical record. While it may take a few hours to get the x-rays themselves the reports are available immediately as are all doctors records, lab results etc.
After all my time working at the VA my best tip is for you to go to a VA affiliated with a teaching hospital. The teaching hospitals program sort of force the MD's at the VA to stay on their toes and up to date in their practices.
Thank you for the advise. I am seen at the VA hospital in detroit which has the affiliation with the detroit medical center. I also am seen by their eye clinic which is staffed by Kresge eye institute Drs. I am very well satisfied by the care that I receive. I think this is the kind of facility that you were referring to. I would like to be able to get my insulin on a monthly basis from Gainsville it is only a short drive from were we stay.
