This is for you if...

✓ You left your last appointment with more questions than answers

✓ You're seeing multiple specialists and the advice feels contradictory

✓ A loved one has a new diagnosis — including cancer — and you don't know where to start

✓ You're caring for a parent or loved one in the hospital and aren't sure how to navigate the system

✓ You want to be a better advocate for your own health but aren't sure what to ask

✓ You're managing a chronic condition and feel like you're doing it alone

How It Works

Step 1:

Book a free introductory call

Schedule a brief 15-minute call where we'll discuss your situation and determine if HealthStrategix is the right fit

Step 2:

Meet for your consultation

In an unhurried, one-on-one video session, we'll review your diagnosis, medical records, and questions together. I'll explain everything in plain language — no jargon, no time pressure.

Step 3:

Walk away with a clear plan

You'll leave with a written summary, a list of questions for your next doctor's appointment, and the confidence to make informed decisions about your care.

How I’ll help you Navigate Your Care


Understand Your Diagnosis

I'll review your medical records, lab results, and imaging

reports with you and explain exactly what they mean — whether

it's a new cancer diagnosis or a complex chronic condition —

in plain language, with as much time as you need to ask questions.


Prepare For Your Appointments

I'll help you build a list of the right questions for your

specialist, figure out whether a second opinion makes sense,

and walk into your next appointment feeling prepared instead

of overwhelmed.

Coordinate Across Your Care Team

When you're seeing multiple specialists and getting conflicting

information, important details can slip through the cracks. I'll

help you organize your medical information, track recommendations

across providers, and make sure everyone is on the same page.

Fellow Healthcare Professional - "As a fellow patient advocate, I can say that Dr. Terrell's clinical background sets him apart. His medical knowledge allows him to bridge the gap between patients and their care teams in a way most advocates simply cannot."

Rachel N.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"He gave me the confidence and knowledge I needed to ask the right questions and advocate for my own health." He first supported me through my recovery from hip surgery, and now he continues to be a steady source of guidance as we navigate my husband’s bladder cancer. His combination of deep medical knowledge and genuine compassion makes a profound difference in our experience. We trust Dr. Terrell completely and feel truly supported under his care.

Why A Patient Advocate?

Your doctors are experts at diagnosing and treating disease. But most physicians have 15 minutes per visit, panels of hundreds of patients, and complex insurance requirements competing for their attention. A patient advocate fills the gap — giving you the time, explanation, and preparation that the system wasn't designed to provide.

HealthStrategix is independent. Unlike an advocate provided by a hospital, I don't work for a hospital, an insurance company, or a pharmaceutical company. Whether you're looking to hire a patient advocate for the first time or comparing your options, my only commitment is to you — helping you understand your situation and make the decisions that are right for your life.
