How I Can Help
We help solve your medical challenges. That could be finding the best doctors, getting into a clinical trial, improving your mental health, putting resources in place within the home or resolving large medical bills.



While no two client assignments are the same, we are known in particular for our work with cancer patients and mental health advocacy. Our insurance work has saved our clients $1 million thus far.



Our oncology work recognizes the newest immunotherapy drugs and we work very hard to avail our clients of these medications if desired.



Recognizing that medication and therapy often prove ineffective for people with mental health diagnoses, we have one of the deepest lists of alternative treatments available today.



The bottom line is that we are relentless when it comes to uncovering the best healthcare resources and work tirelessly to collaborate with your medical team to optimize life.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I am a self described "medical snob" having been very ill as a teenager and the good fortune to work with top doctors for my condition. My happy ending story led to collaborating with doctors, nurses and pharmacists as a key facet of my professional experience running big businesses for Fortune 500 companies. Throughout, I was asked by friends and family to advocate for them and after many told me that this was my calling, I decided to listen. Several years later, I can say that it was the best decision I ever made. Patient advocacy is the most gratifying work I have ever known.
