Blairsville VA Clinic

"They are very pleasant to deal with and generally go above and beyond to help. However, I wouldn't waste the time with their urgent care. It's far better to go to an urgent care that is affiliated with the VA so you can get the treatment you need. I needed a simple antibiotic for a very common infection. I called and they asked me to rush in to give a bio sample. They did not mention that they would withhold treatment for 4-5 days until their lab processed the sample. In the past, I've been prescribed an antibiotic to avoid the infection worsening. They suggested drinking cranberry juice, which is not effective. I've attached a photo of places that can address urgent medical concerns in a timely manner."

"Have been calling for 2 weeks. No one answers the phone. Sent an email one week ago today, no answer. Walked in last week, they would not even talk to me (very rude) unless I filled out a ‘Health Benefits Update Form’ they gave me. Would not even let me explain why I was there. I am already registered at another facility and just wanted to ask about available services here in Blairsville. This is not a very good place if you need help."

"Just got done with my first visit to the Blairsville VA clinic. I can’t speak to others experiences here, but from start to finish it was an excellent visit. From Joann who checked me in to Melissa the nurse to Jessica my PA and everyone I interacted with. It’s a nice facility, too. Clean, good wait times. No complaints. For those who talk about calling, I am sure it’s frustrating but tbh use secure messaging it’s always quicker to get whatever you need taken care of. Very happy with my switch to this clinic."

"Don’t try to call this clinic. You can’t get ahold of anybody but the operator. Tried to contact audiology 3 times and either no one answered or I was cut off."

"Never have I called this office and successfully had anyone answer the phone. I’ve called several times on several different days and waited anywhere from 5 minutes to an hour and still no success in getting someone on the phone. There is no excuse for that at all. I’ve been to other clinics around the country, just as busy, with only one or 2 front desk members and never had this much disappointment."
