We specialize in Independent Medical Opinions (IMOs) — also known as Nexus Letters — and Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs). Every assessment we provide is crafted by licensed medical professionals with military or VA backgrounds, ensuring accuracy, impartiality, and credibility.

Whether you’re filing a new claim or appealing a decision, we focus on connecting your injuries or illnesses to your service with precise, well-documented evidence. Our goal: to empower you with medical documentation the VA takes seriously — fast, transparent, and trusted nationwide.

Our Services

At Prestige Veteran Medical Consulting, we believe no veteran should be left without the benefits they’ve earned. Our mission is to give you the strongest possible medical evidence to back your VA claim or appeal — quickly, accurately, and affordably.

We provide expert Nexus Letters (Independent Medical Opinions) and Disability Benefits Questionnaires (DBQs), crafted by licensed medical professionals who understand the VA disability process inside and out. Every opinion is independent, evidence-based, and designed to withstand VA scrutiny.

With our nationwide network, transparent pricing, and fast turnaround times, we’re trusted by veterans and major VA law firms alike to deliver the medical documentation that makes claims stronger and decisions faster.

Our Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1

Case Review

Begin with a thorough review of your case. Simply provide us with your VA decision letter and medical records, and our experienced, veteran-aware team will carefully examine every detail. We identify gaps, missing evidence, and opportunities to strengthen your claim — then give you clear feedback on what medical documentation will make the biggest difference. This first step is confidential, comprehensive, and designed to give you clarity and confidence about your next move.

Step 2

Expert Medical Opinion

Once we understand your case, our licensed medical professionals — many of whom are veterans themselves — go to work on your behalf. We create a clear, evidence-based Nexus Letter or DBQ specifically tailored to your unique situation. Every document we prepare draws on deep experience with VA disability claims and is designed to hold up under scrutiny. Our goal is to make your case stronger, your evidence clearer, and your path to benefits smoother — all while keeping you informed at every step.

Step 3

Fast Delivery & Ongoing Support

After our medical professionals complete your Nexus Letter or DBQ, we deliver your documents quickly — with both standard and expedited options available to fit your deadlines. But our support doesn’t stop at delivery. We personally guide you on how to submit your evidence to the VA, answer any follow-up questions, and remain available for clarification or updates. Our goal is to make sure you feel supported from start to finish — never left guessing about what to do next.

Leah - Meet the Team

LEAH BUCHOLZ, PA-C

U.S ARMY VETERAN, MEDICAL EXPERT & FORMER C & P EXAMINER

Meet Leah, the founder, and leader of our organization. ​​A combat veteran herself, she understands the unique challenges veterans face, making her mission about much more than running a successful business. It’s about the opportunity to provide a legacy of exceptional service for our heroes.​

​“It is essential to remember that there is no greater honor than caring for service members on the battlefield. Continuing to care for Veterans after separation is an opportunity that I have been afforded to extend that care in this new battlefield related to service-incurred disabilities.”

Her inspiration comes from years of military experience working alongside her fellow servicemembers, particularly key leaders who have influenced her journey, applying their wisdom to her path. She values her team deeply, most of whom are also disabled combat veterans, each member a trusted individual sharing her vision.

 “Driven by passion and purpose, I aim to create a sustainable change that empowers veterans and future generations.”

Leah’s journey hasn’t been without challenges. From overcoming and living with her service-related disabilities to navigating work-life balance, she’s learned to face each hurdle head-on with resilience.  Like many of her veteran brothers and sisters, her early background consisted of limited resources and opportunities. Her military service has helped shape her into a steadfast leader, offering relatable inspiration to others.

Join us in celebrating Leah, a compassionate leader, and resilient veteran, driving our mission to serve those who served our nation.
