You served us, now let us serve you!
Excel Psychiatry is dedicated to helping our Veterans and is a member of the VA’s Community Care network. You may qualify for access to the VA Community Care network, if the VA is unable to schedule an appointment that is within both average driving time standards and wait time standards.
For average drive time to a specific VA medical facility, the access standards are:
- 30-minute average drive time for mental health.
For appointment wait times at a specific VA medical facility, the access standards are:
- 20 days for mental health care unless the Veteran agrees to a later date in consultation with their VA health care provider.
If you are having to wait longer than 20 days or driving longer than 30 minutes for mental health appointments at the VA, come see us instead. We offer in person and virtual visits, so you don’t have to leave the comfort of your own home or take significant time off work. Generally, you will be seen within the same week of your appointment request.
