Simplified visuals for better patient communication

Use those precious minutes to explain complex information simply and effectively

Many patients find medical information hard to understand.

Using medical illustration can bridge the gap between complex information and patient understanding.

Information is complicated

Traditional patient education materials are often text-heavy and filled with complicated medical jargon.

There’s no time

There are just a few minutes at the bedside to give patients the necessary information.

Patients learn better with visuals

Studies show that people understand and remember information better when it’s presented visually.

This leads to

Confused patients
Wasted time in waiting rooms and at the bedside
Poor health outcomes

I create visuals to help patients understand common medical problems quickly.

I know medical concepts can be confusing for someone without a medical background. As both an ER doctor and a medical illustrator, I’ve been creating simple visuals of common medical problems for the last 20 years.
