Testimonials

  • Working with Hanah as my patient advocate has been invaluable. Newly diagnosed with ME/CFS, I was overwhelmed by insurance, treatment options, and navigating chronic illness. Hanah guided me through switching to a PPO, explained referrals and authorizations, and connected me with experienced providers and Long Covid clinics. I've come to know her as an extremely compassionate, committed and intelligent person and an invaluable advocate to have in one's corner during a health crisis.

  • I simply would not be where I am with my health if it were not for Hanah’s guidance and care. She has helped every step of the way, from identifying my complex and chronic conditions to pursuing treatment, from collecting up-to-date research papers to share with my doctors to educating my family about my condition and caretaking needs. With her support and deep knowledge of the medical system, I have been able to advocate for the treatments and specialists that will help me unravel my complex illness. It’s worth every penny to have her by your side on a health journey.

  • Hanah helps me to better understand my illness and advocate for my health. I am especially thankful for her treatment guides, which I use as conversation starters with my doctors. She helps me to be informed and empowered, even when I'm navigating medical systems that are frustratingly ill-equipped to help me feel better. With her coaching, I have secured effective treatments that I know I would never have received on my own. She has also connected me with psycho-social supports that are essential to my health, but often missing from conventional medicine. My health is better because of Hanah.
