Have a list of your questions as the nurses posing as doctors will usually not ask.
Keep asking for medical evaluations that you need, definitely second opinions when you have a big issue, one idiot (who was actually a doctor) there told me that his "gut feeling" was that I was ok, I insisted that they run more tests, they subcontracted to UCI and verified that I was correct.
Most of the staff has good intentions but lack the time to education to really troubleshoot.
I have been happy with their service overall. But ideally get a second opinion. In the past I have even gone to local affordable clinics (a few days prior) to get better educated, then I get the medicines and additional tests from the VA to save money.
Bottomline get second opinions.
