How I Can Help
While I do not offer medical advice, I explain complex issues in plain English and bridge communication gaps to ensure my clients understand their health conditions and the treatment plans recommended by their physicians. I prepare clients for upcoming appointments, accompany them (virtually or in person for local clients) to these visits, speak directly to their medical team, and provide written summaries of these interactions. I research options for second opinions, specialized diagnostic and treatment centers, and clinical trials to help my clients get the answers they need and the excellent care they deserve.

Why I Became A Professional Health Care Advocate
Although I spent years helping patients and their families navigate the complex, often frustrating healthcare system, it was only when my own father was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness that I truly understood the overwhelming stress that accompanies the illness of a loved one. While I had the knowledge and experience to communicate with my father's medical team and to make sure my dad understood his diagnosis and treatment, I realized that most people don't have the advantage of a medical degree to help their loved ones (or themselves) receive the best care possible.
On more than one occasion, my family asked, "What do people do if they don't have a daughter who is a doctor?" Although not everyone has a family member who is a physician, I wanted every patient and caregiver to have what they deserved: a doctor in their corner.
