VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System UD Division

My husband had a pet scan done on Monday February 2, 2026 and the VA still does not have a doctor to read the results and today is February 9, 2026. He was told he will just have to be patient! How do you say those things to someone who us holding their breath waiting to hear if the cancer has spread or if the treatment worked? The people who said this to him should all be ashamed of theirselves. This is ridiculous and this is why people die!

How is it even possible to not let someone know they have cancer until 1 year later. Had him ring the bell like he was well, 07/21/2026. He passed on 02/03/2026. How could the VA Hospital of Oakland Pa. make such a horrible mistake diagnosing this wonderful young man after 18 years of service. I am hurt angry and disappointed in our Government.

Recently spoke to a Mr AJ George, very unprofessional human being. Seems to have an anger issue and very mentally unstable. Not sure how he still has a job there but definitely should be fired. Someone in management should look into his ridiculous behavior.

Terrifying place. Needed stitches after a laceration on my finger, we showed up, parked in the dimly lit parking garage, went into the hospital. Garbage everywhere all over the floors (paper towels, dirt, stains and liquid spills that had dried without being cleaned), drywall falling apart, bathrooms were filthy, no baseboards in a lot of the areas, general condition of this facility is shameful. We left and went to an urgent care and paid out of pocket because this facility was in such disrepair we simply couldn't trust that the medical care would be any better than the actual location. Shameful that we're treating lesser-off veterans with such disregard for their well-being and medical safety. I'll never step foot in that location ever again. EVER.

The VA is socialized medicine whether people admit it or not. The government is not efficient whatsoever and thats pretty apparent here. But I will say that compared to many other VAs, the one in Pittsburgh has a better reputation than most. As with any establishment, you have great employees and terrible employees. There are many people who work here that value our service as vets and genuinely want to help us out. Unfortunately theres also incompetent fools only there for a paycheck. Advocate for yourself because no one else will! Ive had more pleasant experiences here than bad and I'm grateful for the quality care I've mostly received. They knocked it out of the park when it came to setting up an urgent community care consultation for surgery. That pleased me. But the culture here is concerning too. They put too much emphasis on DEI nonsense, borderline pandering to the LGBT crowd. A nurse in CTAD told me I couldnt talk about God in one of my addiction classes because it was science based, after I had made a comment about homosexuality that was being discussed. To say I was offended and hurt is an understatement, to add insult to injury I was treated very poorly after this, made to feel like my beliefs were wrong and offensive. Its highly unprofessional, leave your activist malarkey at the door and focus on care. I will say though I've always been seen right away when visiting the ER. But overall its a bloated bureaucracy that works slowly and is cumbersome, you get what you pay for (ha).

Ambulatory surgery took very good care of me. It couldn’t have gone any better.

They have a great staff, and my PCP is the best doctor I've had

Great service
