“My father, Pedro Vasquez Loredo Jr., shaped how I understand service. He was Green Beret, Ranger, Special Forces, and Airborne during the Vietnam War, and he brought that same discipline, steadiness, and responsibility home to his family. Every veteran who walks through our doors is a reminder of what he gave. Our practice approaches veterans the way he would have wanted: with precision, respect, and the understanding that you have already earned the right to expect our best.”

How We Serve Veterans Today

Care for Veterans Through the VA Community Care Network

Loredo Hand Care Institute participates in the VA Community Care Network under the MISSION Act of 2018. Enrolled veterans who receive a referral or authorization through their VA healthcare provider may receive covered hand, wrist, and elbow evaluation and treatment at our Grapevine office. Our billing team coordinates directly with the VA so the patient’s focus stays on care, not paperwork.

The MISSION Act of 2018 expanded veterans’ access to community providers when VA facilities are not readily available, are more than a certain drive time away, or cannot meet wait-time standards. Eligibility is determined by the VA, not by the practice.

What Veterans Can Expect at Loredo Hand Care Institute

  • Same-week evaluation when clinically indicated
  • Bilingual care in English and Spanish
  • Triple board-certified surgeon with hand surgery fellowship training
  • Direct billing coordination with the VA
  • Clear treatment explanations in plain language
  • No pressure toward surgery when a conservative option is appropriate
