I agree totally
A short anecdote on a couple of my experiences:
1. I needed a new knee, and preparatory PT. VA didn’t have room to get me in right away so they sent me to the Capitol Athletic Club (they have Physical Therapists there). That’s where the Judges and Senators...even the governor goes.
And my CHOICES for where to get the surgery done were Travis AFB or UCSF teaching hospital.
2. I threw my back out. I emailed the doc asking for an appointment and why. He responded within the hour via phone and asked if I want to come in or just go to a Chiropractor. I chose chiropractor and they had the auth for 24 visits sent over the same day.
With my established chiropractor, well known and highly respected.
