Specialists A specialist is a medical care provider who has advanced training in, or a practice limited to, a particular class of patients (such as women), of diseases (such as cancer), of body structure or function (such as eye or immune system), or of technique (such as surgery). An appointment with a VA specialist can only be made by your VA primary care provider. If a non-VA provider tells you to see a specialist and you want to see a VA specialist, you must see your VA primary care provider first. The VA PCP will then make the appropriate referral. Social Work Services If you need help with personal problems, finances, housing, advance directives, or transportation, you may want to talk with a social worker. Your primary care provider, your specialty clinic doctor, your nurse, or the TLC nurse can refer you to a social worker. You may also contact Social Work Service directly. Call 1-717-272-6621 ext. 4894 or 1-800-409-8771 ext. 4894 25
