As a physician who has worked with elders in hospitals and care facilities for over 15 years, over and over again I have seen how serious medical crises impact the whole family.
As a daughter, I learned the pain and frustration of caring for a loved one with a severe health issue. I started a medical practice to be an advocate for families who don’t know where to turn.
I am the doctor that comes to your home to lessen your stress when your loved one and you need answers. I am the doctor who acts as a bridge and interpreter, reviews treatment options and explains the differences, attends doctor appointments, and helps navigate today’s complex healthcare system.
Families need guidance, direction and empathy through difficult medical crises and I provide just that.

At Circle Advocacy, I advocate for and provide compassionate support to those dealing with serious illnesses.
As a physician and patient advocate with over 15 years of experience, I provide personalized attention to patients and caregivers. I can research treatment options, explain differences, attend doctor’s appointments, and help navigate the complexities of today’s healthcare system.
I emphasize with the frustrations.
I am committed to providing timely, straightforward, and competent care to help you achieve the best outcomes for you and your loved ones.
I am able to ensure the personal attention and time your PCP and specialist can’t give, research treatment options, determine pros and cons, explain differences, go to doctor’s appointments, and be by your loved one’s bedside so you can decide the best options.
Anyone who has been a patient or has cared for one in our fragmented medical system knows how stressful and disorienting it can be.
As a practicing physician and a patient advocate, my passion is helping patients and families navigate the difficult journey through serious and complex illnesses.
I know that people want timely, straight forward, compassionate and competent care. They want to feel heard and collaborate on decisions.
This is what I strive to provide and together we will figure this out.
I am a physician with fellowship specialty training in serious and life threatening illnesses and symptom management.
I commonly work with patients and families who have been affected by multiple diseases often including:
“Working with Judy was like having a physician in the family. I was awestruck at her compassion, she did more than I ever could have expected. Her guidance made the end of his life so much better than it would have been for us.”
– Vivian C., wife of former patient
“Recently my sister has had many medical issues to contend with. She was hospitalized twice and in rehabs twice with in a span of several months. I was having an extremely difficult time trying to navigate our present medical system. Although, I am my sister’s Health Care Proxy and POA, I was unable to get much information on my sister’s condition. Luckily, I found Judy and she was of tremendous help. As a physician she has insight and the ability to get things accomplished. “
-Bonnie B
My family and I felt helpless as we watched his health deteriorate, unable to establish effective communication with his care team weeks on end. Eventually, a family friend referred us to Judy. She was able to help us in ways we thought no one could. After our first remote meeting, she instantly became a voice of reason and a person to trust. With her insightful guidance and expertise, she worked tirelessly to help us navigate the morale and technical complexities of our medical system. Above all, she was compassionate and truly listened to my family’s concerns when no one else would. I cannot recommend someone more highly if you need a medical professional in your corner. Her heart is in the right place.”
