We are a dedicated team of Veteran medical professionals supporting other Veterans with the Nexus Letters they need to succeed in their VA disability claims.
Ace Veteran Medical Consulting is led by decorated combat Veterans who served together as frontline field medical corpsmen with the United States Marines. From the Battalion Aid Station to the remote fields of Afghanistan, our team provided medical care under the most demanding combat conditions. Following service, Nicholas C. Latham became a National Board-Certified Physician Assistant and currently practices emergency medicine, while Carlos R. Calzada, Jr. continued his lifelong commitment to helping Veterans navigate the VA system and secure the benefits they earned.
The name “Ace” was earned in the fields of Afghanistan, where it became a term of trust, confidence, and reliability under fire. “Ace Squad, up!” was the call used when the mission was difficult and failure was not an option. That same standard guides our work today. Though the uniform has come off, our duty has not changed—we remain beside our fellow Veterans, delivering expert medical guidance and standing with them as they fight for the benefits their service deserves.
Founder & Chief Medical Advisor, Ace Veteran Medical Consulting
Nicholas Latham is a decorated combat Veteran and National Board-Certified Physician Assistant. He served active-duty as a Fleet Marine Force (FMF) Corpsman supporting frontline Marine units. He served autonomously in remote combat environments, including Afghanistan, and was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor for lifesaving actions under enemy fire.
After his honorable discharge, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology with highest academic honors and completed his Master's of Health Science with honors at the prestigious Drexel University Physician Assistant Program. He continues to practice clinically in emergency medicine, remaining actively engaged in patient care and clinical medicine nationwide.
Through his own VA disability claims experience, Nicholas learned firsthand how critical a well-written Nexus Letter is to achieving service connection. Recognizing how difficult quality Nexus Letters are for Veterans to obtain, he founded Ace Veteran Medical Consulting to bridge that gap—providing credible, VA-ready medical opinions written by experienced medical professionals who understand both the medicine and the Veteran experience.
