Dwayne Edwards and his team did exactly what they said they would do, awesome experience. Everyone at VMHA was helpful and explained everything. I recently received my rating, I went from 50% to 70%, thanks to the great people at VMHA. Can not thank you enough

Having compelling and thorough documentation is a must to show the severity of your symptoms with specific examples. This is where VMHA can help you! I went from a 30% mental health rating to 70% thanks to VMHA. My experience with VMHA was exceptional from start to finish. Not a single snag, just smooth coordination, communication, and care every step of the way. 🌟 Dwayne is genuinely committed to helping veterans. He is available text, email, and phone call — after regular business hours, weekdays, weekends. He combines empathy, patience, and expertise needed to deal with the stress of VA claims. 🌟 Contacting their stellar customer support team is easy. They are always kind and happy to help. If you lack tech skills, Desirae Huff will square you away with setting up your portal. Much gratitude to Desirae🙏. 🌟 Dr. Powers conducted my screening with compassion, patience, and precision. She listened intently, never rushed me, and captured the full scope of my experience. The IMO and nexus she produced was clinically compelling with a deep understanding of the complexities of my case. The VMHA team exceeded all of my expectations. Schedule a consult and see for yourself!

These guys are for real, i am probably going to get rated at 100 % PTSD through the VA- Due to my symptoms (arguably- cause nothing is guaranteed with the VA for sure). However, VMHA rated me at 70% most likely when you compare the boxes. But this is FANTASTIC because you do not want a place that over rates you and gives you no credibility with the VA. You can always go up but you can never get your credibility back with the VA. Remember this is also great PRACTICE SESSION for you UNDER PRESSURE and one hour is never enough. But if you do a C and P exam with the VA you may likely not even have a full hour from all the posts that i have read. The CEO DWAYNE did exactly what he said he would do and did it before the time that he said. Remember this is step ONE of possibly many steps. Trust this man and his doctors, they will help you convey your true story. I saw the exacting rigors of why the VA will always end up trusting VMHA recommendations in my IMO. My stressor was apx 36 years ago and I knew I would get awarded money about 20 years ago when i talked with other veterans and heard their stories. but i did not want to talk about this mess of my PTSD. Don’t be like me and wait because you dont know who to trust (get the help you need)! I have seen that VMHA is trustworthy. I did not have the money and VMHA was going to do some financing for me, I got lucky and something came up so i could pay cash for it, but once again- who does that for people? VMHA took me from i think i can do this to- I know i can do this. Good luck and God Bless your endeavors.

I have used VMHA to help with my VA claim I was scared at first but after Dwayne talked to me and I had a incident I decide why not The psychiatrist that I had was awesome she listened and didn’t make me feel judged during our session and asked me questions that had me open up about how I am and how I was feeling The IMO is very good. Professional looking and has all the information a va rater needs to move the claim along With all this said I could not recommend VMHA enough for veterans that actually have issues to get what the need Thank you VMHA

VMHA was heaven sent! I have had a really rough time researching and finding a company that felt compassionate and trustworthy then along came the VMHA team. Everyone was so accommodating and transparent in the process and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of individuals. The owner Dwayne is top tier! He was very flexible and understanding about my financial situation and offered great payment options to mitigate one less stressor. Mrs. Desirae was an amazing assistant as well and was ALWAYS available thru call, email or text. And to top it all off, Dr. Moses was the icing!! The most compassionate, understanding and professional psychologist that one could ever dream of. Her attention to detail, diagnosis expertise and nexus letter was the prize. I could go on and on but everyone PLEASE don’t go thru this process alone. Give VMHA a try and see for yourself. The small fee is nothing compared to the big reward this company offers in return!! Therefore it’s your best investment 🤗🎉

Excellent service provided by this proud veteran owned business. The Independent Medical Opinion was delivered on time and the interview was easy to schedule. Veterans using this service should understand that VMHA providers do not complete the optional Disability Benefits Questionnaire for submission to the VA.

Dwayne was great answered all of my questions, even after hours. That means a lot to me because he was flexible and helped me address my concerns when my schedule permitted. The doctor that I was scheduled to see me was great, she listened to me was non-judgmental and helped me hash out what I am experiencing. I totally recommend VMHA for VA claims concerning mental heath. Thanks again Dwayne, you helped me overcome a hurdle that I have been struggling with for many years!

They helped thru the process and stayed in touch the whole time. Dwayne took the time to call and follow up during the process and legitimately cared about how things were going. They took their time to answer any all questions I had. Would highly recommend their services.

My complete experience with VMHA has been positive. From the beginning with their admin staff to my session with Dr. Edward’s. The atmosphere was comfortable and I was able to easily describe my experience while serving and the difficulties I’ve had during and after. The IMO was very comprehensive and professionally prepared. I highly recommend VMHA. They deliver exactly what they advertise and nothing less. A class organization. Well worth the investment in my opinion.

My experience with VMHA was excellent. I’ve personally referred them to friends and veterans who are frustrated with navigating the mental health assessment process. Their doctor demonstrated compassion and empathy during the evaluation and provided a thorough documentation of the exam.

The process was very straight forward. The most important aspect was being able to communicate my concerns and feel as if I’d been heard. My Therapist was very compassionate and easy to talk with. Overall I am very satisfied with the experience. I’ve submitted all documentation to the VA, and am now waiting for a response/decision. Praying for favorable outcome.🙏🙏🙏

I had an excellent experience with Doctor Edwards. From my initial contact until completion of my IMO, I felt at ease. She was incredibly kind, compassionate, and free of judgment. As a veteran, I truly appreciated the understanding and patience shown during my interactions, which was a positive experience as opposed to the usual VA process. The session was productive and gave me a real sense of being heard and valued. I highly recommend VMHA to any veterans or others looking for genuine, effective support.
