How I Can Help
I specialize in guiding patients and families through the most complex, overwhelming, and high-stakes medical journeys — especially those involving oncology, multi-system complications, diagnostic confusion, and fragmented care across multiple hospitals.

I bring structure, clarity, safety oversight, and assertive advocacy into situations where families feel lost or unheard within the healthcare system.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
One of the most significant accomplishments of my advocacy work was coordinating a successful solution for an oncology case that major cancer centers deemed untreatable.

After multiple oncologists at MD Anderson concluded that nothing could be done for a life-altering bladder fistula causing repeated infections, kidney damage, and severe decline in quality of life, I refused to accept that as the final answer.

Through persistent research and coordination across 30+ specialists, I identified a novel, non-standard option:
a fully covered self-expanding metallic stent (SEMS) placed via advanced endoscopic technique — a procedure not previously performed for this condition within the US.

I located and engaged an elite interventional endoscopy team at Baylor St. Luke’s, presented the full clinical case, timeline, imaging narrative, and risk–benefit rationale, and secured acceptance for the procedure.

Outcome:
• The procedure was a complete success.
• The fistula closed.
• All bladder symptoms resolved.
• Recurrent infections stopped.
• Kidney function normalized.
• Quality of life was fully restored — after months of suffering.

This case demonstrates my ability to:
• Identify life-saving solutions beyond standard pathways.
• Challenge clinical assumptions and escalate safely
• Coordinate across large health systems
• Achieve positive outcomes where patients had been told “nothing more can be done”
