Due to Coronavirus, I haven't been here in well over a year. Today I came in specifically for my…read moreCovid shot (#1 of 2), and I must say that it was well run, the staff was helpful and kind, and I was in and out in about 20 minutes. The only thing that would have been better was if they had coffee and donuts for us after we got our shot (but then again, it would mean a bunch of people with no masks on, so that's probably not a good idea . . . LOL). I am already scheduled to come back again for my second shot in April, and I also will be receiving a phone call from my doctor for a "virtual checkup" soon. Cheers!

I'm tired of fighting with Yelp about this location. I mean why would you listen to a person that…read morereports here and has reported here for work for years. The debacle started when I attempted to add the credit union located within to the Yelp pages and it went downhill very fast. The VA as we all know is a hospital system that serves our Veterans. In Pittsburgh there are several location that you can go including the now closed Highland Drive division the HJHeinz campus located in Aspinwall, but they all tie back into this location that is in the Oakland area of the city. The address is very generic. The best way to tell you exactly where it is and by telling you that it is located across the street from the Falk School. If you still have no idea it is located on the hilltop overlooking Pitt University. If you can make your way to the Petersen Events Center, you are so close to here, go past the dorms and Greek housing and you will find the hospital. The VA offers an array of clinics, surgeries, and testing under one roof. This campus not only has the medical units but also houses a research building, pharmacy, Fisher House, and a consolidation building that holds all the behavioral health needs. Also housed within is a Patriot Store for your shopping needs, this isn't your usual hospital gift shop. Patriot Cafe for your dining needs. VA Pittsburgh Federal Credit Union for your banking needs. Two ATMs, one located at the main entrance from the parking garage and one located in the Patriot Cafe. Drop boxes for postal pick up. Starbucks coffee with a small cafe setting. Did I mention that parking is free here? When the parking is nearing capacity that is when the valet service really ramps up their service here. Also there is a bus stop located out front and shuttle service between facilities.

He was immediately taken care of by so many wonderful. Kind people. Many tests were quickly done. While waiting for the test results we were taken to a room upstairs just incase he had to be admitted. While waiting for the test results, he was treated to a delicious lunch and made comfortable. My husband was blessed to be able to come home that same night. Our treatment there was above and beyond anything we could have imagined. We are very grateful and would recommend this place to anyone needing help.

All the staff were friendly, helpful, professional and in my opinion are the cream of the crop. The facility was clean, not very noisy & my privacy was always ensured. My requests were answered quickly and honestly, I don't think there was anyone who wasn't smiling. This is a team that works well together to provide the best care possible. I would have no problem suggesting that anyone who needs them chooses UPMC Shadyside Same Day Surgery.

That visit was unsatisfactory. She seemed more focused on checking boxes than actually listening to my problem. My experience was very disappointing. My medications were not renewed as expected, and when I followed up a week later through the UPMC app, I received no response at first. After sending another message, only one of my medications was eventually sent to the pharmacy. Even worse, both of my messages later appeared in the UPMC app as clinical visits, which raises serious billing concerns. If you are trying to avoid unnecessary confusion or possible double billing, I would be cautious. I am now changing my primary care provider.
