Sacramento VA Medical Center - Mather, California

If you are new to the VA facility at Mather Field of Sacramento, it is a first class hospital providing excellent care to the veteran community in the area.

One clinic i have been seen recently was the Orthopedic Clinic and it falls under the Specialty category. It was easy to find because it was the only one without a building number. I was told that the number is in the works.

It was situated behind the hospital building 650 and simply labeled at the front entrance as Sacramento VA Center Consolidated Outpatient Surgical Specialty Clinic.

In particular, i was well cared for by PA-C Michelle Boskovich, the Orthopedic Injury professional, assisted by "Mike" the casting technician who also did a great job.

Then i had to go to the X-Ray Clinic by walking through the adjacent building 650. It was a great way for me to familiarize myself where the other clinics were located, such as Urology, Primary Care, and Pharmacy. The cleanliness of the place was impressive.

I did not see any sign that would direct me to the place where i wanted to go. So i ask the person at the Information Center who kindly directed me to go out of the door and across would be a 5-storey Main Hospital building where the X-Ray department would be.

The Radiology department that handles X-Ray was located on the first floor next to the main entrance. I was seen right away by a curteous technician.

Good place to go get help. Go to loby and someone will direct you to correct person. Get your id.

I went to this facility for 3 years trying to get help with a diagnosis of having blood in my urine. I was told over and over I had gallstones. It wasn't until I left Mather that I found out that I actually had stage 3 bladder cancer. They misdiagnosed me over and over. What a horrible place whom doesn't do their job! They could careless about us veterans. Shamefull!!

Not going to lie, I’m surprised by the reviews. I’m assuming most folks are just used to substandard health care.
My husband was horribly ill today. I had to take him because he was unable to drive himself.
From the moment we walked in, it was chaos and disorganization. Nobody knows anything and they are very good at making up information. The staff shuffle around yelling to one another about tasks that need to be done. HIPAA is nonexistent. The front desk staff is just there to snack. And, the doctor we dealt with was SO lazy and clueless about her own job and hospital she works in-I thought for a moment that we were in a comedy sketch about a crappy hospital. 🏥 cannot believe this is the quality of care, we reserve for our it veterans. Whew, shameful.

Lots of great people working in many different departments.
We have had mostly positive experiences with this VA location. The Doctors, Nurses, and other levels of Medical professionals, as well as all the support staff primarily, have been great.
Sadly this is not true with all VA locations.

Great service for a biopsy on face with followup for Mohs surgery. Doctors and nurses were very pleasant. Beautiful new derm building.

Don't bother going to the Emergency Room. Doctor's and staff have poor bedside manners and they send you home saying your fine even if your having a hard time breathing and in pain.
They don't want to help you.

First I would like to thank the VA for two great hires. First Dr Kungys he was the most pleasant and knowledgeable in explaining everything during my examination. Kept it simple so that anyone could understand. His assistant Janelle Spears was so attentive, first assessing how bad my injury was and relayed her findings to the Dr. JENELLE under the Dr's order got me a better compression sleeve and she helped me put it on. She immediately started to set up my MRI appointment with the up most efficiency. I was receiving a call for an appointment and it was made. She had a calming effect in the way she interacted with me. And I immediately felt everything was going to be alright. Again kudos to the Department of Veterans Affairs for two great hires. They raised the bar of excellence to another level. And are committed to the care of not only me but to all our veterans. Respectfully Angel Sanchez Semper fi
