Start with a conversation.

Thirty minutes, on the phone, free. You tell me what's happening and I'll tell you what I'd do about it — including if the answer is that you don't need me.

What should I call you?

How do I reach you back?

Either one is enough. Both is easier.

What’s happening?

Please keep medical details off this form. A sentence about the situation is all I need here — “my mother is being discharged Friday and we have no plan” is perfect. Diagnoses, medications, and treatment details are for the phone call, where they’re handled properly.

I answer within one business day. If something is happening today, please call instead of using this form — and if someone is in danger, call 911.

Faster

Calling is quicker than this form and I’d rather you did. Most questions get further in five minutes of talking than in a week of email.

If it’s an emergency

Call 911. I am not an emergency service and this is deliberately a small practice — I won’t pretend to be available around the clock.

Before you pay anyone

If what you need is help comparing Medicare plans, HICAP does that for free and does it well. In Orange County it’s run by Council on Aging – Southern California.

Serving

Orange County, California, in person — most often around Newport Beach, Irvine, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Laguna Niguel, and the rest of the county.

If your parent is here and you aren’t, that’s a large part of what I do. You don’t need to live in California to hire me — but the person you’re worried about does. Elsewhere in the state I work by phone and email; Orange County I can do in person.
