WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Jayatri
-
My family worked with Deborah in planning for our parents’ future - two sets of parents in different circumstances with different needs. For both, Deborah’s medical expertise was important in understanding how we could best manage current and projected health outcomes, while her practical expertise with multiple possibilities of care helped us consider a spectrum of options and prioritize our actions. Most importantly, her compassion in listening and reflecting everyone’s goals and concerns helped catalyze challenging but necessary family conversations. We’re grateful for Deborah’s guidance in helping us navigate this phase of our lives.

Rebecca
Deb was the perfect person to help my parents and me address questions about their complex health conditions and their plans for the future. Her combination of medical expertise and deeply compassionate care made it possible for us to think clearly about not only their medical needs but also the quality of life issues that my parents want to prioritize. We all felt seen, heard, and cared for when we talked with Deb. And her advice has helped all of us plan for the years ahead.
Nancy
I consulted with Dr. Kahn about the challenges ahead for a much older, entirely immobile sibling – and her advice was sterling. Not only did Dr. Kahn support me in understanding my brother's living alternatives, she guided me in how to evaluate the alternatives, and how to engage with our other sibling. These decisions around late in life health and living conditions for a loved one are naturally complicated and emotionally challenging. Dr. Kahn provides the insight and assurance that can only come from someone who knows these journeys intimately herself, and who appreciates the emotional challenges as well.
