Why Would I Need A Personal Medical Advocate?
Too many patients leave the care of medical practitioners with more questions than answers. Consistently people are dissatisfied with service, treatment, or diagnostics done in a way that tends to neglect the comfort and satisfaction of patients.
Many times at no fault of medical staff who may have full caseloads, the personal time necessary to care and consult is impossible within a doctor’s office or hospital.
Often the job of keeping record of medications, care instructions, and management of emergency information is left to family members or the burden is completely on a patient for whom the stress can make poor health conditions far worse.
We help clients through custom personal care plans, guidance in crucial medical visits and improvement of client medical literacy.
