How unfortunate that unless you are a pre-established patient with this Doctor, and/or his colleagues, at NW Family Medicine, they are disinclined to bother with Veterans, even though they are listed as members of the "Veterans Choice Program." I recently had to submit a one page "New Patient Request Form" to be considered as a prospective new patient. After a week of deliberation I was provided with a literal "rubber stamped" reply on a thank you card (like you would receive for a wedding present) that said, "Thank you for calling our office. I'm sorry we are unable to accept you as a patient at this time", signed ("rubber stamped") Dr. Peters and Dr. Larson.
I think perhaps the next time we have a conflict that requires action I will just send them a card that states, I cannot represent you in a theater of war at this time. Thanks for calling all the same.
Thanks for you Patriotism Doctors. Don't worry, I will be there for you when the call comes. read more
