Where in the US can I get an Elephantiasis test which is required for a retirement Visa? Travel clinics do not provide this test nor a doctor to sign off on it.

We didn't require any test like that .... Just test basic stuff. Chest x-ray, bloodwork mostly for sexually transmitted diseases, blood pressure....

Sure, that they will take it? I tried that years ago... the Embassy in Germany wasn't really happy with the idea to get a certificate from a Thai doctor.

many people have used her services in the past. But each embassy has the discretion to accept or reject any part of an application.

The rejection wasn't specifically about her, it was more about any Thai doctor... I have no idea why...๐Ÿ˜
