Create an advance directive with a physicIaN
Creating an Advance Directive can be Intimidating!
An advance directive involves all things people like to avoid — tough conversations, legal documents, and thinking about death. As a result, most people either avoid making one altogether, or create a superficial, vague advance directive as part of their estate planning. But when you think about it, who better to facilitate these conversations and create an advance directive with than a board certified physician?
I am passionate about helping people to make an advance directive that is thoughtful, informed, and specific. I will help you think through the implications of your advance directive and facilitate how to have meaningful conversations with your families.
