UCan Health Advocacy Client Testimonials
"My family is so grateful for Laurie and all her support and expertise during such a difficult time. Our daughter was diagnosed with cancer in her early 20’s. It rocked our world and we were so overwhelmed. It was hard to know where to start and what to do. I don’t know how we would have gotten through those difficult days without Laurie’s understanding, compassion, and determination to find the best provider with expertise specific to her diagnosis. She spent hours researching, making phone calls, and setting up appointments which included 2nd opinions out of state. Laurie would listen in via phone at doctor appointments and take notes for us and review them with us afterwards. Her support was so valuable that we hired her to assist another family member who also had a wonderful experience. It is so uplifting to have someone fighting for you and I would highly recommend having Laurie in your corner for support!!!"

"Laurie, I just want to thank you again for taking such a special interest in my medical situation(s). Your concern and investigative help mean so much to me and I really can’t thank you enough. I’m scared but knowing that I’m not completely alone in this medical journey is comforting. You’re the best."

"Last year at 25 years old, I was diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of ovarian cancer. My mind was racing with all of the possibilities and unknowns. With this type of diagnosis, the first very first thing I knew I had to do was seek out the very best doctors to ensure I received quality care. This time was very overwhelming for me, and I did not have the bandwidth or capability to be calling doctor's offices, scheduling appointments, and researching my very serious & unpredictable prognosis. Laurie was able to immediately identify the best oncologists in the nation for my type of cancer. She was quickly able to get my appointments set for me at the top oncology institutions in the country. She was even able to get me in to see the chief gynecologic oncologist at Sloan Kettering who was no longer taking new patients. Laurie was able to research my diagnosis and understand it so well that she could help assist me in asking questions to doctors and other medical staff. There was even a point where an institution misplaced my tumor slides and they were delivered to the wrong department. Laurie was on the phone tracking down my slides all day, ensuring that these got into the hands of the pathology department in a timely manner. I would never have been able to navigate through this difficult time in life without Laurie and her persistent attitude towards getting me the best care that I so desperately needed. Thank you Laurie!"

I have relied on Laurie's consultations on several occasions. Even though I am a nurse, I have called on her to research and find medical providers for various conditions. For example, while my daughter was hospitalized following a serious car accident with significant injuries, Laurie helped research other facilities at larger hospitals for my daughter to be transferred to. I was not in the right frame of mind nor had the time to do the research. I trusted her to explore options while I concentrated on my daughter. I also called on her to help when a friend suffered a stroke. He had received conflicting treatment options, and again, I called on Laurie to research the recommended treatment and to find a surgeon who had the most experience in performing the type of surgery my friend needed. He went to that surgeon and had a successful surgical outcome.
Laurie is the one I trust to call on for research when I need any kind of medical provider. She is excellent in medical service research and knows the right questions to ask to find the best doctor needed.
