PinnacleCare experts spread the word about the power of professional advocacy

As part of our ongoing commitment to sharing our expertise to help the community at large lead the healthiest life, PinnacleCare Medical Director Dr. Denis Pauze and PinnacleCare Advocate and Vice President of Member Services Nuran Saydam recently appeared on Healthline, a health-focused talk show on cable’s Retirement Living Channel. They shared the keys to seeking and receiving the best care, while Member Ernie DiPaolo discussed his positive experiences working with Nuran to find the right treatment strategy for a complex liver tumor.

Dr. Pauze outlined the importance of having a well-trained advocate on your side and urged viewers to make sure they always:

Ask physicians two to five pertinent questions per visit
Seek a second opinion, especially for serious diagnoses like cancer
Have a comprehensive medical record they can provide to each physician

“Informed patients do better and have better outcomes,” he notes. “At PinnacleCare, our team of professional Advocates ensure each Member has the support and information needed to seek out and gain rapid access to the best care. Members have a complete support team on their side making sure they are receiving appropriate care that treats the whole person.”
