How I Can Help
As your Personal Healthcare Strategist & Medical Researcher, I break down the scientific evidence and coach you through making the most of your medical appointments.

I offer multiple services, listed below.

- The Question Brief: One question thoroughly research. I report what the published evidence and guidelines say and help draft questions to raise at your medical appointments. One video conferencing call is included.

- The Research Dossier. I perform a deep-dive on your healthcare questions to generate a customized report that can serve as a reference for you throughout your healthcare journey. The report contains a synthesis of medical evidence, guideline recommendations, clinical trials, and questions to discuss with your healthcare team. It includes up to three video conferencing calls to discuss progress, add any additional concerns or updates, and create a strategy to navigate your unique healthcare journey.

- Ongoing Support. I offer literature updates, appointment preparation, coaching, and logistics. This includes one video conferencing call per month and unlimited messaging.

I work virtually with clients anywhere in the United States. I am not a physician and this is not medical advice. I don't diagnose, treat, interpret test results, assess urgency, rank or recommend care, and I don't handle insurance or legal matters.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
I started Osér Clair after my mother was diagnosed with cancer.

She was the first person in my family to face something that serious. I became her care coordinator. I talked with her care team, tracked what had been said and by whom, and advocated for her as a patient. I had the training and I understood how the system worked, and it was still hard, especially while I was living it as a daughter.

That is what stayed with me. If it was that hard with someone like me in the room, what happens to everyone without that person? Navigating a serious diagnosis becomes a second full-time job, at exactly the moment you have the least time and energy for one.

I could do that work for my mother. What I could not be was the calm outside voice, because I was frightened too. That is the person I wanted her to have, and it is the person I can be for someone else's family.

I have spent the last ten years in research and medical training, so reading the evidence is what I have been trained to do. Because I have designed and run studies myself, I know how they are built and where their results get overstated, which matters, because misinformation is very good at sounding certain.

Something else became clear to me during my training. Doctors want more time with their patients, and the constraint is how many patients are in the day, not the will. So my work is not a way around your care team. It helps you make the time you have with them count, on both sides.

Knowledge is power, and helping people hold some of it is, I think, a way to do a little good in the world.

Additional Skills
For any test below, I can explain what it measures and what the evidence says about it. I don’t interpret your individual results.

Rare and genetic conditions. My doctoral work was in genetics, and I have published on inherited tumor predisposition syndromes, including von Hippel-Lindau disease. I’m comfortable with conditions most people have never heard of, where very little is written in plain language.
Conditions: von Hippel-Lindau disease (VHL) · Hereditary Cancer Syndromes · BRCA1/BRCA2 · Lynch Syndrome · Neurofibromatosis (NF1, NF2) · Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) · BAP1 Tumor Predisposition Syndrome · Retinoblastoma (RB1) · Rare and Undiagnosed Diseases
Tests: Germline Genetic Testing · Multigene Panels · Whole Exome and Genome Sequencing (WES, WGS) · Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS) · Tumor Genomic Profiling (NGS)

Urology and sexual medicine. Much of my research has been in urology, including urethral stricture disease and the role of circulating sex hormones. Urinary, genital and sexual health questions are welcome here, for men and for women. These are among the most common health problems there are and among the least discussed, and I will not rush you through them.
Conditions: Urethral Stricture Disease · Enlarged Prostate (BPH) · Overactive Bladder (OAB) · Urinary Incontinence · Interstitial Cystitis (IC/BPS) · Recurrent UTI · Kidney Stones · Chronic Prostatitis (CP/CPPS) · Erectile Dysfunction (ED) · Peyronie’s Disease · Low Testosterone · Male Infertility · Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) · Pelvic Organ Prolapse · Lichen Sclerosus · Prostate, Bladder and Kidney Cancer
Symptoms: Weak Stream · Frequent or Urgent Urination · Nighttime Urination (Nocturia) · Leaking · Blood in Urine (Hematuria) · Painful Urination · Pelvic Pain · Painful Sex · Vaginal Dryness · Low Libido · Penile Curvature
Tests: PSA · Prostate MRI (PI-RADS) · PSMA PET · Gleason Score · Uroflowmetry · Post-Void Residual (PVR) · Urodynamics · Cystoscopy · Retrograde Urethrogram (RUG) · Urinalysis and Urine Culture · Testosterone · Semen Analysis

Eye disease. I spent years in a stem cell laboratory studying retinal disease, including macular degeneration, ocular tumors, and retinopathy caused by cancer drugs.
Conditions: Macular Degeneration (AMD, Dry and Wet) · Geographic Atrophy · Inherited Retinal Disease (IRD) · MEK Inhibitor-Associated Retinopathy (MEKAR) · Uveal Melanoma · Choroidal Nevus · Retinal Hemangioblastoma
Symptoms: Blurry or Distorted Central Vision · Floaters and Flashes · Blind Spots · Vision Loss
Tests: OCT · Fundus Autofluorescence (FAF) · Fluorescein Angiography · Ocular Ultrasound · Visual Field · Electroretinogram (ERG)

Investigational and early-phase treatments. I served as Executive Director of a clinical-stage cancer vaccine company, so I know how experimental therapies are developed and how to read a clinical trial’s eligibility criteria.
Personalized and Neoantigen Cancer Vaccines · mRNA Vaccines · Immunotherapy · Checkpoint Inhibitors · CAR T-Cell Therapy · Targeted Therapy · Phase 1-3 Clinical Trials · Trial Eligibility · Expanded Access · Right to Try · Liquid Biopsy (ctDNA) · TMB · MSI-H

Reading the evidence. I hold a Medical Statistics certificate from Stanford Medicine, and I teach every client how to judge a study for themselves rather than taking my word for it.
RCTs · Meta-Analyses · Relative vs. Absolute Risk · Number Needed to Treat (NNT) · Hazard Ratio · Confidence Intervals · Overall and Progression-Free Survival (OS, PFS) · False Positives · NCCN, AUA and USPSTF Guidelines

Academic medical centers. I trained inside one for ten years, so I know how second opinions, referrals and trial enrollment actually move through a large system.
Second Opinions · Referrals · Medical Records Requests · Patient Portals (MyChart) · Appointment Preparation
