A Megaphone for the patient’s voice

What did I learn from having a patient advocate? I learned that I have a voice and should use it when the need arises. Also, that there are many options/services/experts in the medical field that I can ask to be referred to for treatment.Am I satisfied…? Satisfied is not a strong enough word to express my thanks. Dr. Lundberg was incredibly knowledge about my infectious lung disease and lymphedema. She made strong recommendations to my doctors. I couldn’t have asked for better guidance. Dr. Lundberg was an active participant and an excellent listener when dealing with specialists that she recommended to me. She took detailed notes at the doctor’s office to share with me in her reports. This was an excellent way for me to review after the meeting. I never would have remembered all that she wrote during the doctor appointments. It was clear that her expertise as a Patient Advocate was respected by the physicians when she was with me for appointments.Would I recommend Lundberg Health Advocates?Absolutely! Dr. Lundberg was “the best” in directing me to only the most qualified doctors and rehab/PT facilities available to me. It made a big difference in my recovery.How can Dr. Lundberg improve her advocacy services?Brita - improve?! - I think you’re just about perfect! If I had to say something, “Too bad you’re not a Primary Care Doctor!” I have so much respect for your knowledge and expertise in the medical field. You accomplished so much for me in a short period of time.Thank you!--Eileen D.
