Connecting you to quality care & supporting your long-term healing plan.
“The world of medicine can be black and white…
Anni sees the color.”
Hello, I’m Anni!
As an independent certified patient advocate, I work one-on-one with clients who have serious health challenges and need help navigating the complex world of healthcare. I draw upon extensive knowledge in evidence-based healing modalities as well as conventional medical approaches. My scope of work includes a detailed patient intake, researching the “best fit” clinician, and attending all patient appointments and follow-up programs. My goal is to assist in finding new and innovative ways to facilitate a trajectory toward a sustainable long-term healing plan.
My greatest satisfaction comes from helping people manage the reality of a new diagnosis or complex medical conditions.
How I Work
I specialize in mystery diagnosis treatment plans. I will consolidate medical records to create a summary medical chart, help with getting second opinions, and research the best treatment options, including finding clinical trials and treatment Centers of Excellence. I make sure all the details are covered, in all cases following your wishes and goals for your treatment.
I work on an hourly basis unless a monthly retainer is preferred. I work diligently and expeditiously to schedule my clients with a clinician who meets my criteria and possesses the skills for the case as it is presented to me. I will continue to coordinate all other recommended clinician appointments to make patient appointments seamless. I will also sign all necessary paperwork/HIPAA compliance for access to patient portals if approved by the patient.

Over the past 7 years, Anni has referred to Minnesota Personalized Medicine several persons suffering with complex, chronic, mysterious illnesses. I can attest that Anni is a very dedicated, resourceful, and compassionate partner in healing. Her extensive personal and professional knowledge means that she can identify the best fit and/or the best teams of health professionals for both diagnosis and treatment. She is the one to contact for guidance and advocacy. Highly recommended.

After six frustrating months of trying to help my friend Julie get answers to health issues undiagnosed by numerous traditional healthcare specialists, Anni jumped in to join “Team Julie”. Anni provided an invaluable fresh, objective and comprehensive perspective. She introduced Julie to a series of functional/integrative/personalized medicine experts uniquely suited to Julie’s unique and complicated situation. Anni’s unwavering commitment of her time, expertise and network led to Julie’s eventual diagnosis. Anni and Julie’s instant connection transcended patient advocacy to become a special and true friendship. I am especially grateful for Anni’s generosity, curiosity, spirit, good humor, and compassionate teachings.

The world of medicine is not always black and white and Anni Davis was able to point out the colors that others missed. Anni was instrumental in my medical recovery from Lyme and mycotoxin illness. While the larger medical community missed or overlooked autoimmune issues, Anni was able to make recommendations of specialists in that area. She helped facilitate finding the right clinician for the problem I was having. Without Anni’s guidance pointing us toward integrative medicine I am convinced I would not have had a full recovery.

Anni has been my Patient Advocate for over three years. She has worked tirelessly on my behalf. Anni’s connections got me into some of the best Specialists in the country! Although neither one of us liked my final diagnosis, Anni was there with me every step of the way! She has become a very good and trusted friend.

In 2017-18 Anni helped my brother when he was suffering from late stage pancreatic cancer. Given the explanation of his condition, she quickly grasped the situation and, through her unique experience and her connections with clinical trials, introduced him to a wonderful cancer research doctor who offered him participation in a new clinical trial for treatment of advanced cancer. His participation in that study made a huge difference in the quality of his remaining months. I think it also extended his life well beyond what my brother’s oncologist thought possible.
