Independent medical record reviews

Your service deserves a careful review.

Thoughtful, evidence-based nexus opinions for veterans—built from your individual medical history, service records, and the facts of your case.

Every consultation includes a personal, one-on-one phone or video appointment with me, Kristina. You’ll have the opportunity to discuss your records, ask questions, and understand your next steps.

Services

Two separate services. Start with the review.

The $100 Case Fit Review includes your records review and a phone or video conversation about the findings. A nexus letter is a separate, optional service.

$100

Case Fit Review

I review the records you have and discuss what they show with you by phone or video. I explain whether a nexus letter may be appropriate. If the records do not support one, we discuss what was or was not found and possible next steps. This service does not include a nexus letter.

Optional

Nexus letter · Separate purchase

If the evidence supports an opinion, you can decide whether you want me to write a nexus letter. I will explain the price based on the number of claimed conditions and the complexity of the case before any additional work begins. The letter is not part of the $100 review.

Transparent pricing

Start with a $100 Case Fit Review.

The Case Fit Review is a separate service. I review the records you have, discuss what I found with you, and explain whether the evidence may support a nexus letter. A nexus letter is optional and has its own price.

Optional nexus letter · One claimed condition

$250

Focused review of one condition with an individualized, evidence-based nexus opinion when the medical records support the connection.

Optional nexus letter · Two claimed conditions

$450

Coordinated review of two conditions with individualized medical reasoning and evidence-based nexus opinions when supported by the records.

Three to four claimed conditions$650 · Personalized review
Five to six claimed conditions$900 · Personalized review
Seven or more claimed conditionsIndividualized quote

Published prices generally include review of up to 750 pages. Larger record sets, multiple prior denials, conflicting medical opinions, toxic-exposure research, aggravation questions, or unusually complex cases may require an adjusted fee or scope. You will always receive the full price and scope before additional work begins. Every opinion remains independent and based on the medical evidence.

Life beyond the paperwork

Service is part of a much bigger story.

Behind every record is a veteran building a life, sharing time with family, and looking toward what comes next.

Conditions considered

Broad primary-care and C&P examination experience.

Potential direct, secondary, aggravation, and toxic-exposure relationships may be considered when they fall within family nurse practitioner scope and the available evidence supports an independent medical review.

Illustration of the spine and major joints

Musculoskeletal

Neck and back conditions; shoulder, elbow, wrist, hand, hip, knee, ankle, and foot conditions; strains, arthritis, limited motion, and related functional impairment.

Illustration of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves

Neurologic

Headaches and migraines, radiculopathy, peripheral nerve conditions, residuals of stroke, numbness, weakness, and other neurologic complaints appropriate for primary-care review.

Illustration of the lungs and respiratory system

Sleep and respiratory

Sleep apnea, asthma, COPD, and other respiratory conditions when the medical question is within scope and supported by appropriate testing and records.

Illustration of the heart and cardiovascular system

Cardiovascular and metabolic

Hypertension, selected heart conditions, diabetes, thyroid disorders, and other endocrine or metabolic conditions within scope.

Illustration of the kidneys and urinary system

Kidney and genitourinary

Selected kidney, urinary, prostate, and male reproductive conditions when sufficient records and objective medical evidence are available.

Illustration of the liver, stomach, and digestive system

Digestive and infectious disease

GERD, selected intestinal or liver conditions, hepatitis C, and other infectious-disease histories appropriate for primary-care review.

Illustration of the ear, nose, sinuses, and skin

ENT, skin, and general medical

Sinusitis, rhinitis, vertigo and selected ear conditions, skin disorders or scars, and other general medical conditions appropriate for FNP review.

Illustration representing environmental exposures and human health

Environmental and toxic exposures

Selected TERA, Gulf War, burn-pit, Agent Orange, and other occupational or environmental exposure questions when a condition-specific medical analysis is within scope.

Evidence—not templates—guides every opinion.

Each accepted case is evaluated using the veteran’s service and medical records, diagnostic testing, documented history, and condition-specific medical evidence. Research may include peer-reviewed, PubMed-indexed studies; systematic reviews and meta-analyses; current clinical practice guidelines; and authoritative sources such as VA/DoD guidance, CDC, NIH, National Academies reports, and relevant professional medical societies.

Some conditions require evaluation by a different specialty. Cases outside family nurse practitioner scope—including those requiring specialized psychiatric, audiologic, ophthalmologic, dental, or other specialty assessment—are not accepted and may be referred elsewhere.

Meet Kristina Sifuentes, APRN, FNP-BC, founder of Guided Veteran Services

I’m Kristina Sifuentes, a board-certified family nurse practitioner and the founder of Guided Veteran Services. My work is grounded in careful listening, detailed record review, and clear medical reasoning.

I created Guided Veteran Services to give veterans a place where they feel respected—not rushed, dismissed, or reduced to paperwork. I understand that behind every record is a person, a family, and a life affected by the outcome.

My professional experience conducting Compensation & Pension examinations has strengthened my understanding of structured disability examinations, DBQ requirements, functional-impact documentation, longitudinal medical records, and the inconsistencies or missing evidence that may require clarification. That experience helps me perform an organized, careful review while remaining objective and within professional scope.

My role is not to promise a particular result. My role is to review the evidence honestly and, when the medical evidence supports a connection, explain that connection in a clear and well-supported independent opinion.
