I have had so many clients and friends who tell me countless horror stories of waiting six months to go to a doctor who then tells them to just “lose weight”/”it’s anxiety”/”take Tylenol”, etc. The health care system, especially in the United States, is filled with bias towards women, queer, fat, and disabled people.

Knowing how to approach these appointments to get real answers can feel impossible. Dr. Sarah knows the language of the medical system and insurance companies. She can “translate” what your doctor is communicating so you can understand what is happening and how you can best communicate with your doctor.

With an initial consultation, you and Dr. Sarah will discuss your present-day concerns, your past medical history, and brainstorm strategies to help you in your upcoming medical appointments. She can also review any lab results or medical imaging, explain them in-depth, and answer any questions you may have.

You may find it helpful to have a follow-up conversation with Dr. Sarah to discuss more strategies, review any new tests or images, or discuss treatment options a doctor may have suggested.
