The Mecca - DC. I’m in a team with a provider also.

I use the Cleveland VAMC and I can safely say I never have problems getting appointments.

Have you tried myhealthevet? My providers, in particular the nurse, is really good about checking those messages.

I’ve used the Charlottesville clinic, just down 29 south and it’s always been great.

Also helps when the doc is a mutual friend’s dad from high school.

Really? That's disheartening.

I'm associated with the DC VAMC, and I normally hear good things.

Have you called their clinical contact center?

Having confidence to take the next step in your career is all about the process.

Thoughts —> Beliefs —> Actions —> Outcomes —> Repeat

This virtuous cycle is a continuous feedback loop that builds on itself.

Focus on positive thoughts and let the negative ones float on by.

When thoughts become beliefs, take action.

Outcomes give you data to help adjust your approach and build confidence.

Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

You can DIY.
