Janet in lab work is fantastic! Such a compassionate and funny person. As soon as I grabbed my ticket number I was called! Talk about service. Volunteers were putting up Christmas decorations. It's just so beautiful here. Thank you to all who make a visit to this VA facility, a good experience. read more

The women's health people don't care about you telling them that the vaginal speculum has been opened to much. No autonomy over my body and ignored me and told me to just talk about my job and proceeded like I was a fucking lab specimen. Sick. And then they call you back (CONSISTENTLY during your WORKING shift) when you're unavailable and then can't pick up the phone 40 minutes later when you get a break from work and see that you missed their call. Literally tagging me all week just to not answer every time. Filming my next PAP and will physically take matters into my own hands if my CLEAR verbal NON consent isn't respected. I won't be abused. Pretty sure you're allowed to take back your consent/change your mind once you've started. thank you very much. read more

They always take care of the vets if you are reasonable and bot an ass. The doctors could take more time with you sometimes it feels like a cattle mill but most dr care read more

Ive had a horrible experience with I find that the processes are innundated with red tape and specific policies that prevent the care that Veterans actual need. To be frank, I would request to get rid of the VA hospitals and just be put on CHAMPVA with my spouse. She never has issues and I constantly do. Ive had to wait 3 months for glasses. Ive spent hours trying to get someone to help me fill out my FMLA paperwork and directed and redirected to multiple places when its an easy form to just fill out and sign. I truly am discouraged and I hope DOGE eliminates them and gives us a place where we get the care we deserve. read more

I want to know why it's impossible to get a ref for mental health? they want you to fight and fight or make you wait months and cancel and months again. Lake Baldwin it's impossible to get inside and the Dr will not write meds over virtual chat. Well to get in was impossible. They cancel and because you haven't seen "said" Dr it's another 4 months. I'm so happy other veterans are getting what they need. what is your secret I don't understand. Transfer to Lake Nona and she calls up right before they close and tells me November, mind you it's June 25th. community care should be given if noe seen in 30 days. They will now say switch providers and start all over. They do not want to give "community care a read more

Lake Baldwin VA Clinic - Hi - Medical Centers Near Me - Orlando, Florida

The Lake Baldwin VA is a pretty decent location. It doesn't compare to Lake Nona. It looks pretty run down and I'm always afraid I'm going to get stuck in the elevator, but the upside is it's bigger than Orange City, offers more services and employees more staff.....lol There are four floors which include a pharmacy, audiology, dental, mental health, optometry, and physical therapy etc. There is also a walk in clinic designated to the green team (each section is designated by a color to help patients easily find their provider). I've been able to make an appointment with my primary care rather quickly, but if you're going for services such as dental/optometry, at this time, there is a three month waiting period. It's even longer at Lake Nona. Your best bet is to try the Daytona location if you're looking for something other than primary or mental health care. read more

Walking into this VA hospital is like immediately going back in time to my active duty navy days. It's got the hideous look, the sterile atmosphere, and no one who works there seems to really enjoy their job. The few times I've been here when I was healthy I felt like I was sick as soon as I walked inside. The layout is atrocious. It's just two really, REALLY long corridors with all the clinics on the sides the waiting rooms essentially spillover into the hallways. There's no sense of caring, even airport terminals have a more comforting vibe than this. However, I do kinda like the fact it's all on one floor. I just wish there were more maps: it's easy to get lost in here despite there only being two hallways. There's a little cafeteria which is ok: food is generic cafeteria food but the price is nice. There's also a little gift shop of military paraphernalia. Parking isn't too bad. Even when it's busy you won't have to walk too far. It'd be nice if they had a parking garage though. What's weird is that this building looks 100 years old, but the neighborhood that surrounds it is literally brand new. It's also in a very inconvenient location. You have to weave through the Winter Park suburbs to find it. And there's always construction going on somewhere! If you can, go to the new Lake Nona facility instead. read more

See all

First and foremost thank you Wendell from labs for helping me and the Green team! Wendell walked me through the office to get enrolled because I'm not from Orlando and took me thru the process the whole step of the way! The speed, efficiency, Customer service, and professionalism at this VA is the gold standard. read more

I use the Orlando Va because I have to. My Dr. ( I won't give her name) is hateful, dyslexic,and rude! Cultural difference my foot, be compassionate and understanding as well as polite! Don't blame me when you order an MRI on the left foot when it is the right foot, which you said wasn't broken if I could walk on it and it WAS broken! So an MRI on both feet because you couldn't admit you were wrong!? Calling me, asking me about my problem, then hanging up on me while I am answering you! Yes, you are representative of how this country treats not only vets, but human beings! It is Not your right to judge, only to listen , Give advice, and heal or manage illness and injury. You thinking you are better, smarter, and or worth more than a vet, or any human being makes you worth far less, remember your training,,( American training) empathy!!!!!!!!! read more

My folks had previously attended the Sarasota VA and we grew up in the DC area so we are used to the bigger facilities. We are currently having a very good experience here. Audiologists are available on weekends, all clinical and admin staff is very helpful and is going the extra mile to make sure that records are inputted and updated. (The national VA system is a paper system, so the records from one location are not always available to view at another location, which creates issues with medical and military history, which seeing new Dr's.) Very happy with the facility and the level of care that my father has received. Our family will be happy when the new VA hospital in Medical City (Orlando) is finally open, as that will allow routine appointments to be a bit easier to manage at this current VA facility, which is handling all veterans in the Central FL area. read more

This place is small. I'm used to the VA in NYC and this place is small. Lots of land but small. It seems like they're doing construction to update how old it is. read more

I've been going to the Lake Baldwin VA for years and have always felt the level of care is of a privileged class. As a veteran, I'm treated with respect. Appointments are easy to set up with very little time to wait to see my doctor. I don't have private insurance so all my care is taken care of by the VA with only small deductible payments on my part. I'm very appreciative and thankful for the care I receive here. read more

Great service. The lab was the best. Parking is a challenge, but available shuttle service makes up for this. The facility is bursting at the seams, but the new hospital should be a welcome to all veterans. Be prepared to wait at times but there is a decent chow hall and store that is tax free for veterans. I enjoy meeting other vets and hearing about their military adventures when I'm there. read more

I've been going to this location since I got out 2 years ago, it's a little confusing navigating at first, but the service is always A+. I've never had to wait for anything X-rays, prescriptions, etc. longer than 20 minutes. The staff here hustle and ensure everyone gets what they need. I love the VA and the services they provide us, I'm very grateful. read more

Have never really liked this location at all. I live in Kissimmee and can't make it this far into Orlando every time I need something from the VA. The couple of occasions that I did make it here, I found it really difficult to navigate my way around. The staff is pretty helpful, I will give them that. They are pretty easy to work with and the only reason I can see giving this place 3 stars instead of lower. I just wish they could outsource some of their care to private physicians instead of MAKING me rely on coming here for any appointments, tests, or classes. The waiting areas are also very cramped and the whole hospital seems slightly outdated and claustrophobic. This location is such a pain, literally. read more

First time visit yesterday. Usually go to Lake Nona. Needed to see Dr Sarup. He actually called personally and told me to come and he'd see me there. I had a bad reaction in my eye that caused an infection. Dr Sarup is a very special eye specialist. Sure glad he's my eye doctor. read more

I love this VA, despite a lot of the gripes people seem to have. I was wounded in action in Afghanistan and having problems getting treatment from the actual Army, so I was a walk-in at the VA and they began helping me right away. My doctors are all very professional and work together to help me out. The staff that conducts the blood draws are phenomenal. I generally get my appointments scheduled within two weeks. It's unbelievable how much shit the people that work there have to deal with. If I worked there I would go on an absolute rampage. A lot of vets go in there acting like the world is owed to them. You signed the line, people. We are fortunate to have this system in place. EVERY time I go to the VA, I see cranky old vets barking at the staff. It's not the fault of Veterans' Affairs that you're ninety years old and falling apart. My only gripes are that the parking is insufficient and back in 2008, during a root canal, the dentist inadvertently drilled into my jawbone. Overall the facility is clean and comfortable. I've had nearly a dozen prosthetic devices and prescriptions mailed to me and all of them have made it to my door within a few days after my appointments. Demographically I am 26-years-old, male, wounded in combat, my reason for going to the VA is service connected, priority group 3, I do not have health insurance, I am employed, and my medical team is Teal. read more

Worst of the worst. I moved down to Florida in 2008 from the D.C. area. While I never had any complaints about prior VA services in the D.C. area, and Madison Wisconsin, I have had only problems at the Orlando VA to include making existing medical problems worst. The patients advocate is of no avail, literally. If something comes up during normal business hours, chances are that both patients advocate while supposedly being "on the clock" are never there, and if you leave a voice message, good luck on receiving a return call. Talk about not caring about the VETERANS. While I see good reviews from CONTRACTORS, as a Veteran, this VA has to top the list of one of the nations worst Veteran's Hospitals. If a problem arises and you need to speak with your Dr. or Dentist, good luck as well since the calls are routed through the telerobot automated system and while given the option of hitting 0 or # to speak directly to an operator, upon doing so will start the automated prompt on a loop. In other words, if you dont know the exact extension you are trying to reach, you are S.O.L. This is very frustrating especially given my own personal experience of the Orlando VA more specifically the DENTAL CLINIC, aggravating my existing conditions, and not following up nor following up on recommendations from fee basis Dentists. I dont want to get into specifics because of fear for retaliation since it is a bureaucracy, but patient beware. Adrian W mentioned he loves "blood draws" from the staff, but seeing from his review, it must be common for the Dentists there to slip up and mess up a routine root canal and there goes another thing you have to deal with. The way the staff treats the older Vets is unacceptable. Adrian W, mentioned that older vets gripe because their in their 90's falling apart etc, and that its not the V.A.'s fault, but on the contrary, the staff, especially at the dental clinic, have no respect at all and treat the older vets as if they are 5 yr old children. The staff on the contrary BARKS at them as if they are looking for a handout when they simply need care and some, follow up care for problems that were created from F'Ups created by the VA dentists themselves. Im not old in any way, but Adrian and I will be older Vets some day, and I would hate to be treated in this manner when it is the only option for health care that some of us Veterans have. read more

I've been coming here for 10 years as a 100% disabled veteran due an ankle injury that occurred in the Navy. Not only do they not care about anyone or their issues, they're always running behind. I wanted them to renew my handicapped placard since they were the ones who originally wrote for me to have one, but they refused because "those are only for people who can't walk." I'm in a wheelchair. Therefore it's quite obvious that I can't. And they removed me from all pain medications they've been giving me since I was medically retired and I've now been in excruciating pain for 6 months and they refuse to give me anything stronger than Motrin!! I'm not asking for narcotics! I just want the pain to go away! Their suggestion? More Motrin. *sigh* I'm going to end up in liver or kidney failure at the amount of Motrin they're giving me. :(. No wonder people hate the VA system. They just. Don't. Care. read more

OMG where do I start?? I am aware a new hospital is being built because of the number of Veterans needing care. That is no excuse however to have rude staff and slow services. There is a nurse who questioned me about my medications OUT IN THE WAITING ROOM in front of other patients. I was shocked. Privacy not important here? I also have waited weeks to receive prescriptions through the mail. I never had that issue from the Hampton Va, V.A. There also is no emergency room. Hmm. I was very ill several weeks ago, and a triage nurse told me she'd call my "team" and they'd call me and tell me when to come in. I got a call 3 hours later telling me, "Dr such and such (I wont mention names) is not available and says to go to your nearest emergency room. Oh, we cannot guarantee the V.A. will pay for it but go." I could not believe it!! I told her I wanted to see any doctor then and she refused. I then said I would go into the Green Team and just tell them i'm being refused treatment by my team. She told me she'd call me back and not 15 minutes later she called and said "Ok the Doctor will see you today." I showed up and they made me wait until just before closing to see me, which caused them to have to stay open later because of a medication I needed that they had to inject, and to top it off, they made me walk over and get it. I served my country Honorably and earned this right to be treated as a disabled Veteran. This place is really sad. I will give it 2 stars because at least it is free, monetarily. I paid for it through my sacrifice to this country and should be treated better than this place treats me. read more
