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.

I also help manage care plans, schedule follow-ups, and connect patients with community resources to ensure they receive comprehensive, well-rounded support throughout their healthcare journey.

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.
