Local service options
San Diego has one of the largest military and veteran communities in the country. Naval Base San Diego, Naval Air Station North Island, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego sit inside the county line, and Camp Pendleton is just up the coast, so generations of sailors and Marines finished their service here and stayed - in Chula Vista, El Cajon, Oceanside, Escondido and across the county.
Everything we do for San Diego veterans can be handled remotely - a free phone discussion, a secure upload of your records and telehealth video when an evaluation is involved. Our office is in Colorado, and we proudly serve veterans nationwide, including San Diego. Call (844) 368-2757 and we will tell you honestly whether we can help, whether you are downtown, in North County, out in East County or south toward the border.

The Jennifer Moreno Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in La Jolla anchors the VA San Diego Healthcare System, with community clinics in Mission Valley, Chula Vista, Oceanside, Escondido and beyond, so most local veterans already have records inside the VA system.
See VA San Diego health care locationsWith decades of shipboard, aviation and Marine Corps service in the area, the claims we see most from San Diego veterans involve tinnitus and hearing loss, PTSD and other mental health conditions, sleep apnea, back, knee and shoulder conditions, and respiratory conditions tied to deployment exposures.
