These transformational health and wellness organizations are an expression of her passion for health advocacy, patient empowerment and the reincarnation of the patient-physician relationship.

Capital Health Advocates and Capital House Calls provide a broad-range of medical and advocacy services that cater to the specific needs of every patient or client.

Her team is there to fill that gap - in case of every day medical needs, medical crisis support and customizable health services. The health and medical system can be complicated – so for her clients and their families, she simplifies health.
Dr. Schiffman and her team are experts at navigating the health system. Her team is adept at quickly understanding complicated medical problems, bridging gaps between physicians and patients, and simplifying medical issues for patients and other medical professionals.
