I am a Doctor of Pharmacy with over 20 years of experience. As my time as a pharmacist progressed, I realized that I was contributing to a broken healthcare system that encourages medication usage to treat symptoms which often leads to undesirable side effects. I observed patients who were in a cycle of dependency and desperately needed help out of the medication spiral.
As your patient advocate, I will make sure that your voice is being heard first and foremost. One of the biggest downfalls of our current healthcare system is the lack of communication. I break down communication barriers between doctors, specialists, hospitals, and more to make sure everyone is on the same page and you are getting the care you need and deserve. In addition, I ensure you are taking the correct medications and/or supplements to treat your ailments. My most common services involve medication access issues, finding relevant resources to help with unique situations, arranging transitions of care between hospital and home, and communicating with providers and insurance companies on behalf of my client.
Navigating the healthcare continuum can be both daunting and frustrating. I believe no healthcare patient should walk the journey alone. A patient advocate should walk with them, while breaking down barriers, restoring hope, and optimizing patient outcomes.
