I do not offer a refund of money. However, the Client is allowed to reopen their file for further services, with money left on the retainer for up to one year of the last invoice.

Ellen Barkin (age 69) is of Medicare age which means she doesn’t need SAG. She may prefer it because the secondary offered by SAG is possibly less expensive and maybe better than what is commercially available, but she doesn’t have to be without insurance.

From the little I know through my work with people in the industry, the SAG healthcare…[Read more]

You asked if the right imaging study has been performed to evaluate the celiac artery causing tissue not to have enough perfusion and causing detachment.

These are two separate issues. The celiac artery (sometimes called the celiac trunk) supplies the GI tract, not the abdominal wall musculature. So, if he does have MALS, that in itself…[Read more]

Hello Trisha,
Thank you very much for your reply, to both of our questions. I would certainly first ask any client

When you say the client has comple Neurological issues, what are you referring to? I too don’t think she should be admitted to a hospital. Given the hospital has circulating doctors on the payroll, she will not get the attention she desires. What do her concierge doctors think?

Hello Schandelle,

Although this is not what most people may do, but I have a “specialty invite” link in my Calendly setup that includes a couple of later evening and weekend hours. I only share this link with people such as your client, who work long hours and can’t pull away during the day to talk or respond to personal emails. I do this because…[Read more]

Hi Schandelle,

Would their concierge doctors request a consultation with or give your client a referral to a neurologist affiliated with the Stanford program? I have no idea if starting treatment would require a hospital stay, or allow for a hospital stay to be covered, except under some kind of extreme circumstance. The hospital-affiliated…[Read more]
