Colonel Demas T. Craw VA Clinic Traverse City 701 U.S. 31, Traverse City, MI 49685

"I went from expert, excellent care from Audie Murphy in San Antonio, to pretty much a non existent care at this clinic. I have issues that need to be kept in check, but are not. I will not keep calling and asking. I should not have to. In four years I seen a Dr. once, but dealt with nurse or other. Why is this clinic open?"

"I’ve been in VA healthcare systems all over the country, and most recently in San Diego and Seattle. As soon as I arrived here, my healthcare has been affected negatively. My treatment plan that was developed with a much higher level of skilled physicians has been changed by lower echelons of care. Coming to Traverse City has meant taking two giant steps backwards in my healthcare needs which are significant due to toxic exposure. Medication‘s I’ve been on for 15 years have been changed, discontinued, and reduced by less qualified staff. As a former healthcare professional, I know that my level of care should not suffer due to regional or personal biases of any medication. My surgeon who is the head of gastroenterology of University of Washington, prescribed me anti-nausea medication that basically has kept me alive at times. Now a nurse practitioner steps on his prescription and prognosis. It’s absurd. Do yourself a favor, and except nothing less than a doctor."

"It was not very busy during my visit at the clinic today. The clinic building was expertly refurbished and was beautifully done with a well relaxed atmosphere. The professional staff treated me with dignity and respect, being very accommodating with me. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit today."

"Always top rate care. I have been going to tc va for 7 years while in mi. They treat me with so much respect, care. I have total trust in them as care givers. They are awesome. I was never a one to believe doctors as GOD'S. I still don't. My moms doctor was not. But that was the past. I trust my va, because they are conscience. They are forward thinking. They believe in preventive care. Awesome team."

"This new clinic is larger and more accommodating. More seating in the waiting rooms, six check out areas compared to only two at the old clinic. It's beautiful. Exactly what our veterans deserve."
