Reviews of Benton Harbor VA Outpatient Clinic (Hospital)

Like nearly every other VA clinic this one is no different. My experience with this facility was poor. The staff was extremely rude and showed a clear disregard for veterans their health and their well being. It is easier for them to do the federally required minimum for their patients instead of providing the proper care that may be needed and prefer to refer you out usually to another VA center on the opposite side of the state using a reactionary treatment method rather than proactive possible preventing further injury or allowing the patient to suffer for an extended period of time. Highly recommend private health care over the Va.

Took my Dad there. They are fast and efficient.

Most of the help here is spot on. The new GP doctor sucks big time. He fails to listen and is very full of himself. He is unaware of his own obsolescence.

Statin drugs -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (NaturalNews) It's been a tough few weeks for Big Pharma, as three major studies have now completely disproved the effectiveness of its most profitable drugs. Last week, a huge study published in The Lancet admitted that the risks of antidepressants in children and teens far outweigh the benefits, as the drugs routinely increase suicidal behavior. Out of 14 antidepressants, only one was shown to improve depression better than the placebo. Now, scientists are reporting that cholesterol drugs, which 15 million Americans are prescribed, are also completely worthless. A group of international researchers published a study in the BMJ Open journal that found no link between what's known as "bad" cholesterol and death as a result of heart disease in individuals over 60 years of age. In fact, the results found that 92 percent of people with high cholesterol actually lived longer. The best way to achieve and maintain good heart health is not through medications but through healthy lifestyle habits. "Lowering cholesterol with medications for primary cardiovascular prevention in those aged over 60 is a total waste of time and resources, whereas altering your lifestyle is the single most important way to achieve a good quality of life," said vascular and endovascular surgery expert Professor Sherif Sultan from the University of Ireland. 'Lowering cholesterol with medications is a total waste of time' Study co-author Dr. Malcolm Kendrick said their findings show "that older people with high LDL (low-density lipoprotein) levels, the so-called 'bad' cholesterol, lived longer and had less heart disease." The revelations are sure to have huge implications for the pharmaceutical industry, as the cholesterol drug Lipitor is the most profitable meditation of all time – raking in more than $140 billion in sales, according to Health Impact News. The guidelines for preventing heart disease and the buildup of plaque in the arteries need to be re-evaluated, said the study authors, adding that "the benefits from statin treatment have been exaggerated." But the truth is that the benefits of statins haven't just been exaggerated, but 100 percent fabricated, as well as the "research" supporting other drugs such as antidepressants and vaccines. Natural News reported in 2013 that the push to get even more U.S. adults on statins was facilitated by doctors tied to the industry. Physicians with the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology issued new guidelines three years ago calling for one-third of all adults to consider taking statins – a push proven to be extremely lucrative for Big Pharma. When questioned about the conflict of interest, the response was: "Ties between heart doctors and Big Pharma are so extensive that it is almost impossible to find a large group of doctors who have no industry ties."

The receptionists lie! My son is 100% disabled, his health situation doesn't change. It is a constant battle to get through to Dr. Braswell to manage my son's medications. He always runs out, ends up in the local hospital because the receptionists don't give a flying flip about the patient and their current need to get their meds refilled. This office needs a major personnel overhaul!!
