Hi! I’m![]()

How can I help you?

Since 2004 when I had my own shocking run-in with the American healthcare system, I have been advocating for and working with care managers and advocacy professionals to improve their business and medical outcomes. And I’ve been teaching patients how to navigate our challenging healthcare system by making smarter choices.
From publishing books, to participating in dozens of speaking and media appearances, to helping medical professionals work more effectively and efficiently with their patients, I’m proud of the differences and improvements I’ve made. I hope the advice you find here can help you, too!
It’s almost here!

Too many Americans have learned the dirty little secret about American healthcare. It isn’t about health or care. It’s about sickness and money.
I experienced this first-hand, in a very heinous, life-changing way. On the other side of that experience, I vowed to do everything I could to help others avoid the errors and expense that result from our devolving system.
