Great independent medical opinion

I fought with the VA for 6 years to service connect my sleep apnea to military service. After the BVA remanded my appeal, I and my attorney decided to bolster my claim and hired David Anaise to author an IMO (Independent Medical Opinion). Mr. Anaise is a medical doctor as well as an attorney. We h...ired him due to his medical expertise. Mr. Anaise was prompt, thorough and provided a very detailed IMO which I submitted to the BVA. Yesterday, I got the decision...service connection granted!!! I am certain the positive decision was due in no small part to the IMO by David Anaise. Thank you doctor. Your IMO made for a life changing decision from the VA for the positive.

IMO letter assured the success of my VA compensation claim

I had suffered a TBI over 20 years ago resulting in lasting effects of migraines, sleep apnea and had also attributed to the onset of my tinnitus condition. I was recently awarded service connection on all of my claimed conditions as a residuals of the TBI I suffered on active duty. Without Dr. Anais...e’s evaluation of my case and subsequent independent medical nexus option letter I don’t believe my claim would have been successful. I highly recommend his services for they are well worth the money invested for his medical and legal expertise if you want to do this right the first time.

Exceptional IMO work

I am Veteran 40% disabled. I went in search of the most qualified IMO Doctor I could find via Internet. I spent two days combing forums and asking questions. Then I found Dr. Anaise. He’s both an active Medical Doctor and a certified VA Disability Lawyer. I was immediately impressed that he had d...ual professional expertise to offer. Next, I researched his lawyer side in Citations and found he had won a good number of sleep apnea appeals. I contacted Dr. Anaise to do my Sleep Apnea appeal, and he did not disappoint. I got a 12-page report loaded with graphic exhibits, strong medical rationales, medical literature documenting and connecting my s/c secondaries – rhinitis and sinus – to Sleep Apnea. Further, from the time I contacted him, I had the IMO in my hands inside three weeks. Dr. Anaise delivered more than expected and totally won me over. I highly recommend Veterans contacting him for your Appeal IMO evidence.

Dr. Anaise was a Godsend to me who won my disability case , saved my life and gave me Independence. His dimeanor is serious however, he did make me laugh a few times. I was treated extremely respectful by the Dr. & staff . They prepared me for my case and the Dr. gave me confidence he would win a...nd he did. That's why I wanted Dr. Anaise to take my case, I wanted to win , not there to be entertained. He has complete knowledge of the legal world as well as extreme in - depth knowledge of the Medical field. I never heard of another attorney that had extensive knowledge in both fields. Dr. Anaise is well respected by all the judges. That is why I am on this page, was seeking Dr. Anaise for another case for a Family member and disagree totally with the reviews. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Anaise, I am in Phoenix now & he covers this area as well as Tucson, so I will continue to refer him up here. Spent a lot of time one on one with Dr. Anaise discussing my case. This Attorney/Doctor is the best representation you can ever receive! My only regret is that I was in Florida getting the run around but when I returned to Tucson 2 1/2 years later, it was a God thing that led me back to Dr. Anaise. Thank you to Dr. Anaise & his staff for your help.

Abolutely THE WORST!

This attorney has no business practicing S.S. law! After my initial appointment i never heard one thing from him or his office. I did all the paperwork. When i called the office to inquire about my case the staff were exceptionally rude. They made me feel like i was bothering them. When i was notifie...d about my hearing date i went to see Mr. Anaise. It was the second time i had met him. He definitly didn't know anything about my case and when i voiced my concern him and his staff were horribly rude. I fired him on the spot. I was scared because i was a month away from my hearing. Anyone who has gone through this knows how extremely stressful this is. My future income was dependent on this. I had a complex case, not a simple bad back. I found anouther law firm. They welcomed me, treated me with dignity, and took my case. I met with them every week until my hearing and we spoke numerous times on the phone. They had to catch up on the whole case and all the work Mr. Anaises office didn't do the whole prior year. Needless to say, i received a favorable outcome. Shame on Mr. Anaise and his whole staff!! I can only thank God i fired them and that they DIDN'T represent me in court!
