This is the newest Veterans Affairs clinic in the Charleston / North Charleston area, providing primary care and dental. The facility is very clean and easy to navigate. Everyone is always friendly and helpful. Having personally been through several different Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics, this clinic is definitely on my top 3 for quality of care. .

. From the dental clinic as well as appearance of the facility overall. Additionally, the location is easily accessible from the highway as well as the back and side roads.

We all have va horror stories or know of them. Well i have a positive story. The other day i was at a low mentally. I finally got the courage to go inside and ask for help. I walked in and asked the front desk if they have mental health care and if they take walk ins. She admitted that she wasn’t sure but had me sit next to her as she asked.

Shortly after i was in a room with a very sweet nurse who evaluated me. Then shortly after the psychiatrist entered and evaluated me further and helped me. They all admitted that this was not something they really do at that clinic but they do it if needed. I am very thankful for everyone at this clinic. They are always caring to me.

Policies like the ones here are the reasons that veterans kill themselves. I thought that what you hear about in the news was that veterans couldn't link their healthcare to their service. . . But it's not that at all. It's literally that the VA does everything it can to prevent you for receiving the care that they're entitled to. Months spent trying to get a therapy appointment have been almost entirely unsuccessful. Will not refer to community care even though appointments at the clinic are backed up by two months. The crisis line and white house line made no difference.

Once I finally got through to someone, I was told that I couldn't do couples therapy and normal therapy at the same time. I suppose that would just be too much health for one person to handle. They might actually get better. The hospital itself is clean and well kept and easy to navigate. The staff are very friendly. The policies are what make it difficult. Especially because the policies are just made up.

Top notch. Easy parking. Easy to find your way around. It doesn't have everything that it's sister Ralph H Johnson VA on Bee St has. But my doctors and nurses, and staff absolutely care about me and my well-being and that of other vets
