Not typically. In my experience, having a third person in the exam room can unintentionally change the dynamic between you and your doctor. My role works best behind the scenes: helping you walk in prepared and walk out with clarity, so the conversation stays yours and stays collaborative. If there's ever a specific situation where you feel it would help for us to talk it through beforehand or debrief right after, we can build that into how we work together.

The initial 15-minute consultation is virtual, so we can talk no matter where you are. If you're in the Fort Mill, South Carolina area, in-person working sessions are also available at our comfortable Fort Mill office. Our office is conveniently located off I-77, making it easy to access from Fort Mill and the surrounding area. We can set up an in-person session once we've connected.

Pricing depends on what fits your situation, so we work through it together rather than fitting you into a fixed plan. Options are presented in this order: individual hourly sessions first, then multi-session packages for more involved support, and finally an annual membership for ongoing, concierge-level care. During your free 15-minute call, we'll figure out together what level of support makes sense for you, and I'll walk you through exact pricing at that point. There's no pressure and no surprise costs.

It helps, but it's not required to get started. On our first call, we'll figure out together what records or information would be most useful, and I can guide you on how to request them if you don't have them yet.

New or confusing diagnoses, conflicting advice from multiple specialists, chronic conditions that feel overwhelming to manage alone, and moments where you just want a second, unbiased medical opinion before making a decision. If you're not sure whether your situation fits, the free call is a low-pressure way to find out.

No. I'm not acting as your treating physician, and I don't diagnose or prescribe. My role is to help you understand what you're already being told, organize your questions, and feel more confident and prepared in your own care. Think of me as the person helping you make sense of it all, not a replacement for your medical team.

Hospital and insurance-based advocates ultimately work for those organizations. I work only for you. There's no institutional relationship shaping my guidance, just what's best for your situation.
