How I Can Help
I help patients and families better understand their healthcare by explaining medical information and health insurance in clear, practical language. My goal is to help you feel informed, prepared, and confident when making healthcare decisions.

I can help you:

• Understand diagnoses, medical tests, and treatment recommendations using easy-to-understand language.
• Prepare for medical appointments by organizing questions and discussing what to expect.
• Understand Medicare, health insurance coverage, and common billing questions.
• Identify healthcare resources and connect you with appropriate professionals when your needs extend beyond my scope of practice.

My goal is to ensure you understand your healthcare and can make informed decisions with confidence.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
As both a physician and a patient, I have experienced how difficult it can be to make healthcare decisions when information is unclear or opinions conflict.

Twice in my own life, seeking additional medical opinions led to very different outcomes than the first diagnosis or treatment recommendation. Those experiences reinforced the importance of asking questions, understanding your options, and making informed decisions.

They also reminded me that most patients do not have a medical background to help them interpret complex information. My goal is to provide clear explanations, practical guidance, and support so patients and families can better understand their healthcare and make decisions with confidence.
