Advance Medical plan participant

“I couldn't get a straight answers from the providers I'd seen and was referred to specialist after specialist. These opinions helped in that they raised consistent concerns and provided areas to consider for future treatment. My situation is not clear cut; yet their opinions reached similar conclusions. My case manager, Dr. Ortiz, was fantastic. He listened very carefully, did a great job in pulling the issues together, and he has been diligent in being in contact with me. I have been with [my company] for many years and this service became available to me just when I was losing hope that there was help out there. This input has been invaluable. Many thanks for the outstanding service.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“This service is an outstanding resource. It's hard enough going through medical situations that are not easily resolved. It's helpful to gather the opinions of other specialists not necessarily in the local network. Providing the additional support is more invaluable than you could ever know.”

Pamela Guggina, MD, MPH Physician Case Manager, Advance Medical

“I appreciated having this service, especially when my primary care doctors were being unhelpful in treating my condition. In the end I came to the same conclusion as the report, but it was helpful to have an expert opinion supporting my decision.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“When I used this service I didn't have my DX yet. I did not have the use of my hand for months and I felt it was getting worse. My appointment at [my treatment center] was at least a month away and I wasn't sure I could wait that long. You feel helpless going from MD to MD without any answers, this service gave me a sense of control and peace of mind that I could be pro-active while I was waiting to be seen by the specialists at [my treatment center]. I felt I was better informed for my appointment with the medical options I had received.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to take advantage of the expert medical service. I learned so much about my condition and plan now to follow up with treatment by a local specialist. Having your report makes me feel more confident that I will ask the right questions to my doctors and will receive the best treatment. Thanks again.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“Being a physician case manager provides a very unique opportunity to allow a patient unlimited access and support from you whether it be through advocacy, emotional support, Medical education or any other number of ways. Most of them have never been given the chance to speak to a doctor for as long as they feel is necessary to really be heard and it is very fulfilling to be able to offer that to them.
Another facet of advance medical that is so important is our ability to provide a sky high overview, in a comprehensive way, of a patient's entire care plan. We have the time and the resources to carefully cull together and review medical records from multiple doctors and specialists that they have seen, which unfortunately is near impossible for their pcp to do in this era of pcp shortages, managed care, and shortened face time with doctors. Often times our physicians have the first and only set of eyes to review a complete medical record since our skilled team is able to efficiently access records that they and their doctors offices have not been able to. In this way we can look at the big picture and so often that is what is missing. And the patients take such solace in knowing nothing has been left overlooked. That alone is one of the major pieces of positive feedback we receive and makes it a pleasure to do!”

Karen Leitner, MD Physician Case Manager, Advance Medical

“The best part was how directive the physicians were. Usually doctors like to tell you all the facts and leave it up to you to decide. Both doctors in my case laid out all the options, and the pros and cons of different treatments (including costs! which never usually happens) and then best of all, they gave a recommendation.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“Advance Medical has given me the incredible opportunity to spend quality time with oncology patients. I cherish the ability to provide support, empower them with knowledge about their illness and what to expect, and to help them navigate what is often the most vulnerable and frightening experience in their health to date: a new diagnosis of cancer.”

Kerry Reynolds, MD Associate Medical Director of Oncology and Program Director of Oncology Virtual Medical Home, Physician Case Manager, Advance Medical

“Case representative was very professional; report was very thorough and complete.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“My case manager was wonderful and because of the report I have an appointment with a gastroenterologist who specializes in c-diff. When I see him I feel like I'll be able o ask him specific questions that deal with my illness.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“Given the information the doctors were given, their opinion was very important. I don't know what would have happened if I didn't find another doctor to go to. The first group did not give any information to work with. The doctor I am seeing now could only give information from one appointment that I had. I wanted to know mainly if the [medication] that was given to me was the correct medicine for me to take. The first group I was with I did not feel comfortable with and I don't think they even cared.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“This was a very user-friendly and informative process. I hadn't realized that I was going to get a 3rd opinion in addition to the 2nd. That very much helped to reinforce the findings for me.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“I just want you to know, in convincing me to try physical therapy and avoid surgery, you put me on a path that has resulted in a much healthier situation.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“I was able to get all my questions answered. I was provided with information to make more informed decisions as well as be prepared to ask specific questions of my treating physicians.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“This is such a great service...my only complaint would be that I didn't know about it sooner. I heard from a co-worker whose child is battling cancer. It may have been more helpful to have had this at the beginning but never knew it existed.”

Elyse Foster, MD Professor Emeritus, Cardiology, University of California, San Francisco

“I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I thought all the employees were extremely professional and very caring. I was impressed with the quickness of the results. My situation is very complicated and one expert reassured me my treatment team was handling the situation very well. That was reassuring. The results did encourage my treatment team to try a different option, so that was helpful. I could not be more pleased with the service. It is amazing and excellent.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“For me it was much better than going to another doctor for a second opinion. I appreciate the time and detail paid to my condition. I might have just settled for my first doctor’s surgery recommendation if I hadn't had this assessment.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“My physician case manager was thorough explaining the course of events. She was prompt in gathering the info regarding my case and getting it to the experts. She communicated when she said she would. The reports from the experts were very comprehensible for a lay person. Totally grateful to have this service available to me.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“I love reviewing expert reports with clients, explaining specific treatments and clarifying recommendations. It is so satisfying when a patient has a clearer understanding of their plan and can play a more active role in their health care.”

Christine Cochrane, MD Physician Case Manager, Advance Medical

“I probably would have waited for some time before getting a second opinion, if at all, and I am sure that as a result I would have been experiencing more stress these last several months.”

Advance Medical plan participant

Advance Medical plan participant

“Dr Reynolds was the absolute best doctor you could have assigned to me. I can't say enough about her expertise, kindness, and thoroughness. She is so genuine. I felt like she was seriously concerned about me and my well-being. She gave me her opinion and helped me interpret the reports. I started to tear up at the end of our call today because it felt like she was worried about me...almost like a parent. I felt like I had a good plan going forward and she asked me to keep her posted on my upcoming surgery. It meant everything to me to have someone care that much and to also give me direction on what to do next.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“A cloud of despair and dread was lifted almost instantly when speaking to my Physician Case Manager.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“Experience started out well but long time to receive results. I know they said they had trouble getting records. Also some of my questions were not addressed.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“Advance Medical gives patients top notch expert advice on diagnosis and treatment but more importantly engages them in their healthcare decisions which benefits their health outcomes tremendously.”

Heather Alker, MD Physician Case Manager, Advance Medical

“Thank you for your help — special thanks to the Case Manager for her patience, caring attitude and availability through a trying time — she was wonderful.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“It is very satisfying to be able to provide a patient friendly opinion through advance medical, especially in a time when we are asked to see more patients with less resources.
Additionally, because our opinions are written instead of delivered verbally (like we do in clinic), the information has to be more organized and concise. This is allowed me to use some of my opinions as educational information for my patients. Lastly, the advance medical team provides a succinct summary of the patients medical history, with easily navigated imaging.”

Jane Edmond, MD Professor of ophthalmology and pediatrics, Baylor College of medicine, Texas Children's Hospital

“Excellent benefit, get the word out and I'm certain it will be used more.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“Thank you again Advance medical. You have no idea how much I appreciate get the expert opinion of Dr. Levin. I so desperately wanted to know more about my spinal stenosis . What disks were involved, what other problems were noticeable, how long an operation would take and what risks and complications were involved. [My original treatment center] neglected to inform me about all the information that I longed for. They just sent me to get a spinal for the excruciating pain in my right leg and to physical therapy to strengthen my back.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“The Physician Case Manager maintained a consistent level of communication with me throughout the review process until closure. She set realistic expectations, her explanations were clear and feedback regarding timing of the process was shared with me. This was greatly appreciated.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“What a valuable resource when a serious medical situation arises!

“I cannot say enough good about the program. My medical issue was one that I just didn't want to deal with. If it hadn't been for the various staff members reaching out to me, I would have just kept putting off making any decisions. My case manager was caring, easy to talk to, knowledgeable and very accessible. The opinion provided in the report really assisted in making my decision about the next steps to take in resolving my medical issue. Because the expert opinions supported what my doctor was telling me, it made me feel more confident in my doctor. This is an extremely valuable program that I hate to give up if my company even stops providing the program or when if I ever leave the company.”

Advance Medical plan participant

“I would like to thank Joshua Penn for his courteousness, professionalism and demeanor in dealing with the intricate details of my case. Despite my concerns, the most frustrating part of all was never having anyone truly listen and work with me as a partner in trust. I felt comfortable dealing with Joshua from day one. And, never once did he leave me hanging or make me feel any detail I provided was irrelevant. That was probably the most significant for me overall. Furthermore, I would highly recommend this amazing group approach over a 2nd opinion. This method by far outweighs a second opinion. Just knowing a group of highly trained professionals mulled over my case with such attention to detail and came to the same or similar conclusion is reassuring. Thank you again Joshua for hearing my cries in the dark and for the amazing work you and your medical team did to assist me. Please thank each of them personally for me. May God richly bless you all for helping.”
