As someone who realized the frustration that patients have with the current healthcare system, I wanted to offer services to help clients navigate the healthcare maze. I have helped numerous people cope with their diagnosis and have guided them to appropriate specialists and explained their various treatment options. I realized that as the medical system has become more complex and specialized, patients need someone who can help them find the appropriate path that is the correct one for them. Your health should not be a one size fits all approach. I can be your guide and give you the tools and information you need to get the most out of your doctor's appointments, medical conversations, and healthcare relationships. 

As a physician, I am now using my skills and education to work solely for my clients' well being. As an expert, I can guide them through the ever complicated healthcare system maze.
