How I Can Help
The American healthcare system is neither healthy, caring, nor a system. I help people navigate the “system”, find better care, and discover their options. I empower patients and their loved ones by being a dependable, informed set of ears in appointments and during crucial, care decisions.
Before I meet clients, they’re often scared, confused, and wondering where to turn. And that’s entirely understandable. When working with me, clients become informed, empowered, and can better enjoy life.
I don't have all the answers, but I usually know who to call. I curate a network of fellow Board-Certified Patient Advocates, surgeon-specialists, NPs, and other caregivers, each with unique skills and expertise. We have complementary skills across various specialties and are local in many parts of the country. With a single advocate-contact, you get the expertise of many, nationwide.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
What I've seen professionally and personally as a brother, son, husband, father, and friend compelled me to become an independent patient advocate.
Professionally, on day two working in the operating room, I walked an inexperienced surgeon through spine surgery. I stopped him from making horrendous mistakes. He didn’t know what he was doing. At the end of the case, he thanked me for my expertise. I had none. That day, I wondered “How did this person choose this surgeon?” I realized even people who love research have no idea how to determine a surgeon’s skill. For this reason alone, everyone, at some point, will need an advocate.
For my family, I began two decades ago, advocating for my parents and my sister. From hip fractures to new knees, to breast cancer metastasized in the brain, I cut my teeth advocating for loved ones.
Helping friends avoid unneeded surgeries, preventing unqualified surgeons from operating on colleagues, along with my work with my family, made me not want to be, but made me have to be, an advocate.
