Abby was my brother’s true hero and champion last week. He was having a rough time with excruciating headaches and was unable to get an accurate diagnosis. Abby recommended that he go to the emergency room and stayed with him all day. It was a very wise suggestion, as they were finally able to give him an accurate diagnosis.

Abby then coordinated additional home care services so that he had extended care over the next week. She also stepped in when a second visit to the emergency room was necessary, ensuring he was not alone during that difficult time. She spent extra time with him after normal business hours and even on the weekend.

I was with my brother and Abby part of the time and saw firsthand how effectively Abby navigated the healthcare system and used her knowledge and professional contacts to ensure that my brother had the support he needed. I could not have done that by myself.

I want to thank Barlowe & Associates for its professional and empathetic support, and Abby in particular for her wise leadership, caring, and around-the-clock assistance.

Hope, Portland, ME
