IMO REFERRALS & REVIEWS

[USMC_VET]

I want to start a thread for people to post names of IMO/IME's they have used.

THIS IS FOR GOOD AND BAD DOCS.  We want to know who to go to and who to avoid (Keep in mind if your symptoms and evidence does not support a DX or SC that does not mean they are a Bad doctor, it means you havent given them what they need to do what you want)

Rules: (and Tbird/mods have final say)

1) Follow the template below, Copy and Paste

2) do not list out your whole story of your claims spanning back 20 years, keep it concise

3) If they were good or bad, list concise (ie quick and to the point) reasons why.

What types of CP Exams can Dr. Clifford Do or does he have a particular specialty? I'm in WA State and it's a long way for me to go...but I will if need be?

Rootbeer 22, I am not certain on his specialty, but he is superb at getting vets tdiu based off of their already SC disabilities, I would call him asap, I've heard great things about him from my attorney as well.

Also no need to travel, he goes off of records.

Flores97:

Thanks..

What does he charge?

So you have an attorney? I'm at 90% and just need to get over the hump to 100% and was hoping that my C-File would show up..but not sure how long that it's taking to get them these days? Currently, I'm at 8 months and would have thought that it would be here by now?

Rootbeer22, he charges 600 total for the employability assessment. You would need to send him your past twelve months of treatment recs for sc disabilities, (the two that you believe preclude you from gaining employment), any dbq's and positive c&p exams, and copies of award letters. He thoroughly reviews your recs and writes up his report.
