Business Description
Lost in the health care sysytem? Get a medical expert as your private advocate and guide!
Do you or your family:
1. Go to doctors' offices or hospitals and come out with more questions than answers about your medical condition?
2. Feel like doctors don't spend enough time explaining things to you?
3. Feel like your needs or concerns are being unmet or ignored by the medical system?
4. Feel like there may have been a medical mistake due in part to the medical team not being able to spend enough time to get it right the first time?
If any of these things have happened or are still happening to you or your family, you should consider hiring a private patient advocate.
My name is Dr. Vik Rajan. I am a board certified nephrologist, internist, and pediatrician who started a patient advocacy practice in 2010, called Houston Patient Advocacy, after the experiences my own mother faced, which required me to advocate for her health care during the last eight years of her life. This company represents one of the only private patient advocacy services in the Greater Houston area. While it primarily serves patients one-on-one in the Houston area, it can also serve patients located anywhere in Texas via phone, email, fax, and video chat.
With this service, you are hiring a medical expert to be your private medical guide who can:
1. Spend time with you to explain the medical care you are receiving. It can be done in person, by phone, and/or email. It can be done in office or in the convenience of your own home. It can be done during standard business hours, or even possibly during afterhours or weekends.
2. Be an advocate for your in the health care system, including going with you to your medical appointments and checking up on you while in the hospital.
3. Help you navigate through the health care system, including helping you find the best doctors and hospitals, as well as assisting you through any problems with medical billing or insurance cliams.
4. Review your medical records and health care to make sure your are getting appropriate care and to help decrease the chances of medical mistakes happening.
