“They saved her life”
Since birth, Jay’s 33-year-old daughter, Laurie, suffered from Huntington’s Disease, a disorder that left her without the ability to talk or swallow and that had claimed the life of her mother and brother in their 30’s. When Laurie developed a painful and potentially fatal gum infection, the oral surgeon Jay located had a long waiting list and eventually refused her treatment. Jay tried in vain to find another specialist to treat his daughter. Fortunately, Health Advocate located a leading surgeon specializing in dental care of patients with complex medical disorders, scheduled the appointment and helped coordinate Laurie’s care with her other specialists. The result: a successful operation for Laurie and great relief for Jay. |
