Praise for Lexington VA

Recently I awoke from a dead sleep in extreme pain and headed to the Veterans Administration hospital on Cooper Drive. I was taken directly to medical professionals who spent seven hours caring for me until they finally isolated the problem. I went though a battery of tests and the medical people didn’t stop until they found the right answer.

The doctors, nurses and all staff people were courteous, caring and interested in me. Once my condition was isolated, the doctor called California to verify with a second opinion. These professionals compare with the best in the county, and they’re devoted to helping veterans. Lexington is blessed to have such competent VA facilities.

I went there afraid and left with great confidence after their excellent care. I wish every VA medical center had such wonderful professionals, but many simply go unappreciated. Pray for these good people, they’re great.
