We know first-hand how frustrating the healthcare system can be.

Studies show that on average, physicians have 10 minutes to communicate with a patient — even for difficult diagnoses. That’s just not enough time to fully understand your state of health, condition, and treatment plan.

That’s where we come in. We're your partners in health. We can come to your house, doctor visit or the hospital, work with families taking care of aging seniors, and so much more. Our goal is to use our decades of experience to help you live a healthier, happier life.

What does a Health Advocate do?

A health advocate helps healthcare clients navigate the healthcare system. However, to us, it’s so much more than that. We’re not just advocates for our clients — we’re experienced health navigators who know what questions to ask, where to find answers, and how to simplify the entire process for our clients and their families.

Meet Dr. Anthony Douglas

Dr. Douglas is board-certified in internal medicine and culinary medicine, and he was a primary care physician at AdventHealth for 20 years. After seeing his patients struggle to navigate the healthcare system, he decided to become a different kind of advocate for healthcare clients.

In 2023, Dr. Douglas founded NextLevel Health Advocates to help close the gaps in our healthcare system, support those who need guidance from an expert, and advise families who are struggling to navigate the system with their aging parents.

Testimonials

“What does one say about a good human being and an outstanding physician who cares about the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being of their patients? How could one ever forget a physician with so much respect for his patients' time, and who kept ‘models’ of body parts, so he could explain exactly what their body was doing inside? What does one say about a physician whose patients were devastated when he retired from his practice — but were full of relief and joy when they discovered Dr. Douglas was back with his new venture and would be accessible to his very happy clients?” – Veenu B.

"When dealing with health matters, you want someone who can look at the bigger picture. Someone who won’t miss fine details. Someone who will advocate relentlessly on your behalf. An advocate who will help you understand your heath situation and do so with grace, humor, and care. Dr. Anthony Douglas is that advocate. For close to twenty years, our family trusted him with our healthcare needs. He always took the time to talk with us and ask us about our lives, our family, and our healthcare needs. He genuinely cares and worked tirelessly to educate us about our health conditions (diabetes, cancer, etc.) and how to live our best lives. While we miss his skilled care as a practitioner, we fully and heartily endorse his new venture. There is no better person to have on your care team. An investment that will provide dividends for years to come." - Heidi L

Frequently Asked Questions

If you have any other questions, simply email Dr. Douglas at drd@nextlevelha.com

What is health advocacy and how can it help me?

Health advocates take the stress out of the healthcare process. Dr. Douglas will guide you step by step through any healthcare situation — whether it’s helping aging family members or advising you on a new, complicated diagnosis. He understands just how difficult and messy the medical world can be. As your health advocate, his goal is to make the process as easy as possible for you and your family.

Is health advocacy covered by insurance?

No, we don’t accept private or government insurance. After assessing your healthcare needs, we’ll provide payment options that will either be an hourly rate or custom retainer fee.

Will Dr. Douglas be providing primary care services?

No. Even though Dr. Douglas is an internal medicine physician, he no longer practices in this capacity. He won’t be acting as your physician or providing clinical care. His role will be to assist and advise you and your loved ones, and to work closely with your current physicians. All clients are required to have a primary care physician.

What else does NextLevel Health Advocates do?

Aside from health advocacy, Dr. Douglas can provide health and lifestyle coaching. He can help clients with healthy eating, cooking, and pantry organization, as well as hosting cooking classes. Each program is individually customized, starting with a no-cost, 30-minute consultation.
