That seems weird. I believe the place opened in October 2010 and I remember initially they said there was about a ten month wait, so I was surprised when I got my orientation letter in about a month.

If you have your VA ID card from up north, maybe if you weren't feeling so good one day just go to the outpatient clinic and ask to see a doctor. Go in the main entrance, walk straight ahead (if the volunteers ask you anything, say I don't need any help), go as far as you can. The lab waiting area will be to your right, turn left and go down the hall just past the pharmacy that will be on the left, the outpatient will be on the right. You won't see it right away, you have to go through a doorway, usually there is a volunteer standing at the entrance on the right. Walk up to one of the clerks that doesn't have a line and see if you can get in to see a doctor.
