Make sense of a diagnosis
Review an existing diagnosis or recommendation and understand the terminology, reasoning, uncertainties and questions worth taking back to your treating team.
A private, unrushed conversation with an experienced licensed physician to review the medical information you already have, explain what it means in plain language, give you a second perspective, and help you organize a practical health strategy.
You may already have a diagnosis, results, specialist advice or a treatment plan. What you may not have is enough time to understand how the pieces fit together. This service is built for that gap.
Review an existing diagnosis or recommendation and understand the terminology, reasoning, uncertainties and questions worth taking back to your treating team.
Discuss bloodwork, imaging reports, specialist letters, hospital discharge information and other existing medical information in plain language.

Identify the most important questions to ask your family physician or specialist and clarify which issues deserve priority.
Discuss general health education, prevention, longevity, lifestyle considerations and health priorities in the context of the information you already have.

Select virtual or in-person availability and the amount of time that best fits the complexity of what you want to discuss.
Share your goals and questions. Sensitive documents should only be submitted through the secure method provided — not ordinary email.
Where the service includes pre-review, the physician considers the information supplied in preparation for your discussion.
Ask questions, clarify terminology, discuss existing recommendations and focus on the issues most important to you.
Leave better prepared to navigate your ongoing healthcare relationships and decisions.

Dr. Janine Karpakis is a licensed physician with approximately 32 years of experience. PEIDoctor describes her as having completed 11 years of medical training and postgraduate education and having practiced medicine across three continents.
This service is designed around something deceptively simple: enough dedicated time to hear the whole question and explain the medical information in language you can use.
"Sometimes the most valuable thing in healthcare is enough time to understand."— Our philosophy
Some clients arrive with one urgent question. Others bring years of records, multiple diagnoses and a feeling that nobody has had time to look at the whole picture.
Best when you already have a result, diagnosis, report or recommendation and want an experienced physician to help explain it and identify useful questions.
Best when you have multiple concerns, chronic issues, health goals or a longer history and want to organize the information into priorities and a forward-looking discussion plan.
No. The service is intended to add time for education, explanation and health-information discussion. It does not replace ongoing primary care, specialist care, hospital care, emergency care or other publicly insured services.

Any clinical care remains subject to the independent physician's professional judgment, applicable licensing rules and the publicly funded system where required.
Bring the documents and questions most relevant to what you want to understand: reports, results, medication lists, discharge summaries, diagnoses, family history and your own list of concerns. Do not email sensitive records to a general email address; use the secure upload process provided.
