Parking! They have done a good job running the bus and shuttle transports. Communication needs help. When a message is left on the phone, they don't call back until the next day.
What do you like about the facility and your care?
On every visit there is very little wait time. I see a doctor or nurse every visit. They also have gotten me a specialist for my diabetes, and I receive good treatment.

Facility Name: Des Moines VAMC
Why do you come to this facility?
What is the biggest challenge that you face at this facility?
Great facility, just lack of parking spaces. There is a shuttle service to take you to the various locations on the facilities, which is so helpful.
What do you like about the facility and your care?
The staff at the domiciliary, dental, mental health, specialty clinic and dieticians is very positive and eager to help with all of your needs. I can’t say enough about this facility and the continued care I receive at the Outreach Center for vets. They all had a part in saving my life. I give them a 5 star rating.
