Service 02

Appointment preparation & accompaniment

For those who are tired of preparing for appointments like they're entering a courtroom.

“Fifteen minutes, three interruptions, and I left without asking the one question I came for.”

The visit this service prevents

Appointments are where your care is decided — and they're stacked against the person in the paper gown. You're asked to think clearly while unwell, remember everything while anxious, and advocate for yourself while outnumbered. Having someone in the room who is only there for you changes the arithmetic. Clients tell me the doctors speak differently. Mostly, they finally feel heard.

What You Receive

Deliverables, not vague promises

The pre-visit agenda

Your priorities distilled to one page — the anchor sentence, the three questions that matter most, and the history the doctor needs in the format they read fastest.

A second set of ears

I attend with you — in person in the LA area, by phone or video anywhere — taking notes and speaking up when something important gets passed over.

The visit summary & open-items list

Within a day: what was said, what was decided, and every follow-up — referrals, tests, callbacks — tracked until it's actually closed.

The Path

What working together looks like

The quiet first call
A free 20 minutes to hear what's coming up and decide together how I can help.
Setting the agenda
Before the visit we define what it's for — priorities, questions, and the one thing that must not go unaddressed.
The appointment itself
You talk to your doctor; I capture everything and make sure your concerns actually land.
Debrief & follow-through
A plain-language summary, next steps in writing, and open items chased so nothing dissolves between visits.

My allegiance & boundaries

I work strictly for you — never for hospitals, insurers, or providers, and never for referral fees. My only interest in every recommendation is yours.

And where my role ends: I provide non-clinical advocacy, navigation, research support, and coordination. I don't diagnose, prescribe, or make treatment decisions — you remain the decision-maker, with your licensed clinicians handling the clinical questions.

Wondering whether your situation fits?

That's exactly what the free 20-minute call is for — an honest conversation about whether and how I can help, and what it would cost.
