How I Can Help
As a physician & patient advocate, I specialize in providing personalized support for patients and their loved ones by assisting with navigating the healthcare system. My services include locating specialists that accept the patient's insurance, coordinating and attending clinician appointments (both virtually and in person), advocating for patients in cases of insurance denials, and offering guidance on understanding complex medical information.
***How I Support You***
>Take time to explain medical advice: Translate confusing or conflicting provider opinions into clear, evidence-based options so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
>Coordinate and connect with the right specialists: Ensure you’re guided toward physicians and care teams best suited to your diagnosis and needs, not just the next available appointment.
>Strengthen your voice in medical settings: Learn how to frame questions, express concerns, and hold providers accountable so your priorities are heard and respected.
>Prepare strategically for appointments: Organize your history, test results, and goals so every interaction with your care team is focused and productive.
>Navigate the healthcare system with support: From insurance barriers to referrals and second opinions, I stand beside you to remove obstacles and help you focus on healing.
>Prioritize next steps with clarity: Whether you’re newly diagnosed, managing a chronic condition, or facing difficult choices about treatment, I help you chart a clear, personalized path forward.
>Expert advocacy with heart: I partner with you every step of the way, blending years of clinical knowledge with compassionate care to ensure your voice is heard and your path forward is clear.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I became a patient advocate after years of practicing as a physician and witnessing firsthand the shortcomings and challenges within the healthcare system. As a doctor, I saw how patients struggled with insurance issues, confusing medical terminology, and fragmented care that made their health journeys more stressful than they needed to be. I often found myself trying to help them navigate a system that wasn’t designed to support them holistically. But it wasn’t until one patient encounter that I truly understood the full impact of what was missing.
They had been suffering from years of debilitating pain, seeing specialist after specialist, undergoing endless tests, yet never receiving answers. Their financial situation was crumbling from missed work, and they felt lost in a system that didn’t seem to delivery any solutions. When I sat with them and simply listened, something shifted. For the first time, they felt truly heard. Shortly after our encounter, I was able to connect them with the right care, and their life began to change. It was then I realized that patients needed more than just clinical expertise. They needed an advocate who would fight for their rights, explain their options, and ensure they weren’t falling through the cracks.
This experience led me to shift my focus from practicing medicine to becoming a patient advocate. I want to use my knowledge of the healthcare system to ensure patients receive not only the best care but also the support and advocacy they deserve in a system that often leaves them feeling powerless. My mission is to make sure every patient’s voice is heard and that they have the guidance they need to navigate the complexities of healthcare.
