    Notable Quotes:

    “As a person practicing there (the VA system), you have to understand the culture, you have to understand those generational differences, how the trauma was different at different times when you’re providing care, but then also, the political side of how things flow.” – Dr. Leigh Ann Dooley

    “We, I think, do not appreciate how much our skill set, how much our knowledge, is valued.” – Dr. Leigh Ann Dooley

    “We all are so driven for so long in patient care; we’re mission-oriented. I would say most physicians are going into it just generally wanting to make a difference. We want to help people, and we’re being taken advantage of because of that; because people know how dedicated we are…” – Dr. Leigh Ann Dooley

    “When you’re a provider who is providing care at the standard, at a minimum, often above the standard, we do not realize how much inappropriate care is happening, how much dangerous things are happening, like lack of supervision.” – Dr. Leigh Ann Dooley

    “There’s nothing wrong with real estate or investing; that’s fine, too. But if you can find a way to keep your expertise in one of these systems we interact with, to me, it’s just amazing. We need to be there.” – Dr. Leigh Ann Dooley
