✓ 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, and you don't know where to start
✓ 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

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

In an unhurried, one-on-one session, we'll review your diagnosis, medical records, and questions together. I'll explain everything in plain language with no jargon and no time pressure. In-person appointments are available in Fort Mill, SC.

Within 2-3 days after the meeting, you'll receive a carefully curated written summary, with a list of questions for your next doctor's appointment, and the confidence to make informed decisions about your care.
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 an independent patient advocacy practice based in Fort Mill, SC. 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.
Practical tips for getting clear answers from your care team, delivered weekly.
