Dr. Shirin Ramani Desilva, MD

If you want to feel like just a number and be talked to like you are an idiot, please go see Dr. Shirin DeSilva. I have been treated better by common criminals than l was at my VA compensation appointment today. Congressional complaint is next on my list for “Dr. DeSilva”.

I had to fight her for VA service connection for a Veteran who died of a Camp LeJeune contaminated water claim. She lost the Judge when she referred to the carcinogen polyvinyl as polyvinyl chloride (PVC Pipe). A brain is a terrible thing to educate and then waste.

not knowledgeable had to go see another md because this doc did know what to do!!!!!!!

Nothing more than cut & paste. in my opinion she is not quailified as an SME (subject medical expert). This Dr has never seen me. I would hope that the VA will review before making a decision on my claim

Dr. Shirin Desilva reviewed my claim for prostate cancer while at Camp LeJeune from 1976 to 1979. I never had an exam, and her opinion is based on my claims file. She used old medical references and and everything that she stated is incorrect. So easy to dispute her inaccuracy. It was documented that smoking contributed to a 48 year old with no family history of prostate cancer. Do your research! Smoking is not a contributor to it. She is dealing with the suffering of every Marine that served our country and I am appalled that the VA is allowing her to review our claims! Her medical opinion is ridiculous, and goes to extremes to find a negative conclusion. I just hope the VA researches the real finding more thoroughly then her, as the final decision hasn't been determined. She doesn't belong in the medical field. The VA better find real experts for opinions!!

This idiot now claims to be a "SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT" for deciding VA claims from over 40 years ago regarding those of us poisoned while doing our duty for our county at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune. She has no credentials to perform this duty and was previously only a "Wellness" provider of some sort. I urge you all to look at any notes this idiot entered about you using My Healthvet. She is not even remotely close to understanding the complexities. Immediately file a Statement in Support of Claim citing her ineptness and a demand to have ANY AND ALL words she entered about you removed and disavowed. This moron should be fired and jailed for her contemptuous actions.

Dr. Desilva was very polite and funny. She was extremely kind and professional.

Brutal !

Very professional
