Patient Advocacy

One advantage of using our services is that we focus on working with the whole person and the major aspects of your life:  mind, body and spirit.  In keeping with that concept, we offer a comprehensive approach to our clients that other programs may not include.  With years of experience and expertise in traditional medicine, counseling, client advocacy  and holistic health services we provide several platforms for addressing the specific needs of individuals from a mind, body, soul perspective.

 PATIENT ADVOCACY AND PHYSICIAN CONCIERGE SERVICE

Patient advocacy is an adjunct of our second opinion service.  We have the unique advantage of having a Pathologist with over 22 years of experience in diagnosing biopsy slides as well as interacting with Surgeons and Internists over patient diagnoses and treatments.  We offer reviews directly with the client as well as any necessary follow-up with the client's primary Physician or Health Care Personnel and all interactions are undertaken with professional care and respect of both client and Physician.  We do not provide treatment nor do we review for medical-legal purposes but offer this service as a way to ensure that the client is best informed to make their own medical decisions.  We form a team with the ultimate goal of assuring the client's needs are met and that they are treated as a whole person - mind, body and spirit and with dignity and respect.

For those regional clients we offer a service that includes accompanying our clients to appointments and meeting their Physician as Medical Advocates, representing the specific needs of the client. 

We have found that our Patient Advocacy services, either as Counselor or Physician, is  particularly helpful for the elderly, those suffering from a major illness or a difficult to treat illness. Often those meetings that a patient or family member has with the Physician for review or follow-up can be very complex and confusing.

Many families have found this service to be a life-saver for them as communication between family members and the doctor(s) is made clearer.  With this service any medical treatment and follow-up regime becomes  more effective thus giving the client more accurate information to make difficult decisions.

SECOND OPINIONS

MEDICAL REPORTS or BIOPSIES

Many clients have found that it is helpful to have their medical reports and/or biopsy slides reviewed by an independent Physician as either a second opinion or just a way to further discuss their concerns about procedures, treatments or diagnoses

NUTRITIONAL CONSULTATION

It is now accepted by most traditional trained medical experts that nutritional balance and supplementation is an important component of promoting the best possible health.  However, few Physicians or Practitioners test or follow their clients for deficiencies or imbalances.  We offer nutritional consultation with testing as part of our overall wellness program or as an independent consultation service.
