The amount of information that patients receive from their healthcare providers can seem endless at times, especially for those dealing with a chronic disease or serious illness. Understanding all the information can seem overwhelming at times.

As your patient advocate, I am your personal healthcare guide.  I will make sure you fully understand and navigate through all the information you receive and I will help you determine the best course of action.  Having a healthcare professional to facilitate and guide you on your journey to good health can be invaluable, particularly after a serious diagnosis or when you don’t feel well.
