Falling ill or being injured abroad is stressful enough — navigating local medical systems, travel insurers, and competing recommendations makes it worse. I help travelers and their families cut through the noise and get the care they need.
How I Can HelpWhen you're sick or injured in an unfamiliar country, you need someone who speaks both medicine and travel insurance — and who can pull on a global network of doctors at a moment's notice.
I'm a US- and UK-trained anesthesiologist focused on trauma care, and I co-founded Aksanio, a network of physicians in over 70 countries. Together, that means I can advocate for you, explain what's happening clinically, and reach the right local expertise — fast.
Local treating physicians and travel insurers don't always agree on what should happen next. I bridge those conversations — translating clinical realities to insurers and insurer constraints to your local team — so decisions get made in your interest, not stuck in limbo.
If you're not comfortable with what your travel insurer is recommending — or what a local doctor is proposing — I can review your case independently and tell you what I'd do. No conflicts, no insurer paymaster, just an honest medical opinion.
Through Aksanio's network of physicians in 70+ countries, I can help arrange local hospital care, find an English-speaking specialist, or coordinate medical evacuation when you need to get home or to a higher level of care. Real doctors, on the ground, who can be reached quickly.
For complex or high-stakes cases, I can reach out to my network of American attendings and British consultants for sub-specialty second opinions. When the diagnosis is uncertain or the stakes are high, an experienced senior voice can change the outcome.

People living or working abroad who want a trusted medical advocate they can call when something goes wrong.
Two free tools I built to help travelers stay safe and prepared — before things go wrong.
Generate airline medical clearance forms in minutes. Supports MEDIF and airline-specific templates for British Airways, Qantas, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Lufthansa, and ANA — so passengers with medical conditions can fly without the paperwork nightmare.
Check whether your prescription medications are legal at your destination. Some countries criminalize common Western prescriptions — this tool tells you what to expect, so you don't get caught off guard at customs.
All engagements and payment are handled through Aksanio.
I'm sharing this here so you know it's something I can do — but the formal engagement, scheduling, and billing all happen via the Aksanio platform, where the wider network of physicians is also available.
