VA hospital 2300 Ramsey Street, Fayetteville, NC 28301

"Always treated my father with dignity and respect."

"My community care provider assigned by the VA suspects I have a type of lymphoma . Yet this VA has taken it upon themselves to deny my referrals for further testing in hematology , or oncology . And when I went to the ER to have them look at my lymph nodes that she said were swollen , the Doctor said I looked fine rolled his eyes and huffed when I asked him to at least examine the lymph nodes . In my chest neck and stomach that are swelling and hard as stones . He told me there is no such thing as lymph nodes in your stomach and that they were just fat rolls . Why is the VA blocking testing , that I know will be invasive (biopsies on lymph’s as well as bone marrow most likely ) as I already contacted a cancer center and they too said I need to get tested . I’m not seeking drugs just answers and the VA is treating me like some kind of hypochondriac. My journey , in this cancer thing started cause I went to see my PCP thinking I may have diabetes something easy to control and pretty minor all tho All considered . I am a women’s semi pro tackle football player , a former marine who served in Garmsir Afghanistan with the 24th meu, and a former fighter . I’m not some wuss looking for a hand out or drugs or anything and this place is treating me like a pariah and I just want answers as I slip further and further into what ever illness this is . I weighed 220lbs 3 months ago I weighed in at 173 yesterday at this location and it didn’t set off any alarms ."

"I needed lab work completed. Two trips to the lab and everyone was as nice as could be. Very helpful and responsive to my needs. I felt like valued as a person and as a veteran."

"This place was not too crowded when I went there for a prescription drop-off. Usually when I go here it is very difficult to find parking. The hospital keeps expanding but the parking lot area remains small . A good solution would be to sell off some of those Tall Pine trees out front and create parking area. The place is currently under reconstruction but is operational for medical services."

"Other than a great facility, the only problem is when you have to change primary care physicians every so often and have to start over. Also, the Raeford VA is not so much a hospital, but a large doctors office. The Ramsey Street I would consider a hospital."
