Patient education, rewritten

Your patients deserve to understand their own chart.

Ten years of medical writing for academic medical centers, cancer centers, and private practices, turning clinical language into patient materials people actually read, understand, and act on.

Why it matters

I've spent the last decade writing the documents that sit between a diagnosis and a patient's understanding of it: visit summaries, condition guides, procedure explainers, and intake materials for institutions including NYU, Columbia, The James Comprehensive Cancer Center at Ohio State, and Loma Linda University Health, alongside private practices across specialties.

Clear patient materials mean fewer confused follow-up calls, better adherence, and a practice that sounds like itself across every document a patient touches.

Where this matters most

New diagnoses

The moment a patient needs you most

  • Recently diagnosed condition guides (oncology and beyond)
  • Procedure and treatment explainers
  • Visit summaries and after visit instructions
  • Consent and intake language patients can actually parse
Weight & metabolic health

Sustainable change, explained plainly

  • Sustainable weight loss program materials
  • Endocrine and metabolic condition guides
  • Nutrition and lifestyle handouts
  • Website and blog content for ongoing patient education

How a project starts

01

Talk

A short call about your patients, your current materials, and what's missing.

02

Scope

A clear, written plan: deliverables, timeline, and price. No open ended hourly guessing.

03

Draft

A first draft built around how your patients actually read and what they need to know.

04

Revise & deliver

One structured revision round, then final, ready to use materials.

Let's talk about your patients' content.

15 minutes is enough to know if this is a fit.
