In-person disability examinations
A licensed provider examines you and documents the conditions listed for review. This is the exam most Veterans mean when they say C&P.
Disability evaluations
Serving those who have served.
Disability evaluations for Veterans, through a nationwide network of providers and our own clinics. Doing this since 2013.
- Serving Veterans since 2013
- Nationwide provider network
- Four evaluation services
- Open 9 to 5, every day
- Licensed providers
What we do
Four kinds of evaluation.
Everything we do supports one thing: an accurate, evidence-based record of a Veteran's condition. Some of that work happens face to face and some of it happens in the file.
We are not replacing your doctor and we will not prescribe or treat. If you are a Veteran with an appointment, it was scheduled for you and sent to us, and there is nothing to pay.
We do not decide your claim. The VA does that.
We examine you honestly and write down what we find. If anyone tells you they can sway how your claim turns out, walk away. That is not how this works.
ACE examinations
This one runs on Acceptable Clinical Evidence, meaning the records you already have, so there is no visit. Usually a provider phones you to cover what the file does not. If the records answer everything, there is no call either.
Independent Medical Opinions
A written clinical opinion on a specific question, produced by a provider with the right specialty and no stake in the outcome.
Medical record reviews
A structured read of the existing record to establish what it does and does not support, documented so the findings can be relied on.
Find the one nearest you and call it directly.
Every clinic is open 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, every day of the week.

For agencies and contracting partners
Built to carry volume without losing accuracy.
Patriot Care Center works as a clinical partner to government agencies and contractors running disability evaluation programs. The point of the way we are set up is that the thousandth case reads like the first one.
- A nationwide provider network
- Licensed providers across the country, plus our own clinics, so coverage does not depend on one region.
- Standardized clinical protocols
- The same protocols and documentation standards on every case, whoever performs it and wherever they are.
- Quality assurance before delivery
- Reports are reviewed for completeness and consistency before they leave us, not after somebody complains.
- Provider training and oversight
- Providers are trained on the evaluation process itself, and their work is monitored rather than assumed.
- Software built for this work
- Our own systems guide clinical documentation, cut the administrative load, and keep findings evidence-based and aligned to requirements.
- On-time delivery at volume
- The whole setup exists to hold accuracy, consistency and turnaround steady as case counts rise.

The things people ask us before they come in.
Nobody tells you much before one of these. If anything here does not answer it, call the clinic and ask us. However small the question, we are glad to talk it through.
Will this cost me anything?
No. There is nothing to pay, and we will never ask you for a card or an insurance number. If anyone asks you for money for a compensation and pension exam, something is wrong.
How long will I be there?
Most exams take under an hour. If several conditions are on the list it can run longer, and whoever checks you in will tell you what to expect that day.
Can I bring someone with me?
Yes. Bring your spouse, a friend, or whoever helps you keep track of things. They can wait with you, and plenty of people do exactly that.
Do I have to come in at all?
Sometimes not. If your records cover enough ground it becomes an ACE examination, which means no visit at all. Usually a provider phones you to go over what the file does not show, and if the records answer everything there is no call either. If you already have an appointment booked, that one is in person.
Do I need to bring my records?
No. Bring a photo ID and that is enough. You are welcome to bring paperwork if you want to, but nothing is going to be held against you for turning up without it.
What if I need to reschedule?
Call the clinic directly. We are open seven days a week, so there is usually another slot the same week rather than a month out.
Do you decide my claim?
No, and neither does anyone else in this building. The VA decides. We examine you and send them what we found, and that is where our part ends.
Will I get a copy of the report?
Not usually from us. The report belongs to the file it was requested for, so it goes back to whoever asked for the exam. The VA can tell you how to request a copy.
Still not sure about something? Call (310) 954-1008 and someone will help. You are not bothering anyone by asking.

Check in
Someone at the front desk checks you in and confirms your details. We run on time, and if we are running behind, someone will come and tell you why.

The examination
A licensed provider goes through your history and examines the conditions on the list. Just answer honestly. Nothing here is a test and nothing is a trick question.

The report
We write up what we found and send it on. You will not usually get a copy from us, because the report belongs to the file it was requested for.
Twelve years of examining veterans, every day of the week.
Someone answers, every day of the week.
Nine to five, weekends and holidays included. If you are not certain which clinic your appointment is with, call any of them and we will find it.
