One of the most valuable things Dr. Kedia does as a patient advocate is facilitate communication between you and your healthcare providers. Think of her as your personal liaison—someone who helps make sure your voice is heard and your concerns are addressed. By attending medical appointments with you, she can ask important questions, clarify treatment options, and summarize essential information, empowering you to make informed decisions about your health.
​
But that’s not all! Dr. Kedia can also help coordinate care among various providers. With so many specialists involved in today’s healthcare landscape, it can feel like a juggling act just to keep track of appointments, medications, and follow-up care. Dr. Kedia steps in to simplify this process by organizing schedules, managing referrals, and ensuring everyone on your healthcare team is aligned. This kind of support not only enhances the quality of care you receive but also takes a lot of stress off your shoulders—allowing you to focus on what truly matters: your health and well-being.
