Centralized care
Treating kidney disease is especially complicated. The disease impacts multiple systems in the body including the cardiovascular, endocrine, and nervous systems, among others. Because of these complications, patients often see multiple doctors and specialists on a monthly or even weekly basis.
Unfortunately, the segmentation of the U.S. healthcare system makes it hard for doctors to coordinate care. Your advocate will serve as a central point of contact, keeping your care centralized, your records organized, and your team communicating effectively. This means fewer redundant appointments, less invasive testing, and a greater quality of care.
