How I Can Help
My focus in patient advocacy is to help my clients understand how the healthcare process can work best for them. I am able to attend office visits with clients(in person or remotely), take notes and summarize them, translate complex terms, assist with obtaining referrals and consultations, manage medication schedules. I will also assist with coordinating doctors visits, attend procedures, or visit at the bedside if hospitalized in order to help patients and their families. I also assist with transitions from hospital to home.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I am a board certified pulmonologist)”(lung specialist). Throughout my 33 years of practicing medicine I have helped countless patients navigate the complexities of health care while doing my own job. Patients always have questions on how to get things done or what their diagnosis means and I have taken the time to explain terminology, assist with referrals, facilitate consultations and move the system along for the benefit of the patient. I am passionate about helping patients get unstuck with their healthcare. My goal is to help patients and their families ease their healthcare anxieties and facilitate their journey with the utmost compassion.
