The VA isn't going to fill out a Community Care consult for Boston. The criteria for those are distance, time, or availability. Right now they're most likely filling it out due to time. Unfortunately, most places are going to be booked out until late Spring or early Summer. Sources, I work for the VA now, my wife just left a job at MMP Joint Replacement, and we have friends still working for Spectrum.

My advice, stick with the VA.

Togus is one of the better facilities in the VA system. Low bar to some but you should at least consult with them.

I agree I had 2 shoulder surgeries, hip, and knee done at togus. I highly recommend togus. I had a shoulder done at maine med and was having surgery on it again within the year. Togus fixed it.
