VA Puget Sound Healthcare Sys: Kohen Ruth MD

Today was an epic day because of incredible customer service. My dad will be 98-years old at the end of this month. Tommy H. checked us in at the VA. As he checked us in, I heard him whisper, "Wow." I knew he was referring to my dad's age, so I said, "Yeah, 98-years old!" He said, "Yes, I see." We came in for a routine foot appointment, and were told that his foot appointment had been canceled. Of course, we understand that things do come up, but I did ask why we weren't told. He said he wasn't sure, wrote some things down on a sticky, and said he would do what he could. I gratefully thanked him as he hurried to find a solution.... read full review

Getting an appointment for my mom in ophthalmology is a work of God and the wait time is always 1-2 hours. That being said, the eye clinic receptionists are the best we have ever encountered within the VA system. As is always in the VA, the front desk people usually are unpleasant and sometimes just downright rude, but once you get to the back, the providers and caretakers are incredible. We definitely rarely expect to easily get in and out of any appointment for my mom, but we are thankful for the care she is able to receive as an Air Force veteran.
