Navigate your cancer with clarity, not just hope.
Physician-led concierge care for people who refuse to face cancer alone, confused, or rushed. We slow it down, translate the complexity, and help you build an internal terrain as inhospitable to cancer as possible.
You came here because something has shifted.
Maybe a diagnosis. Maybe a treatment decision you can't unsee. Maybe the quiet realization that you're being moved through a system that doesn't have time for the questions that actually matter.
"My oncologist appointments are 15 minutes — and I leave with more questions than I came in with."
The system isn't built for explanation. It's built for throughput. That doesn't mean you have to accept it.
"Google is terrifying. Friends mean well. None of it actually helps."
Conflicting information at 2 a.m. is not a strategy. You need someone who can separate signal from noise — for your specific case.
"No one has talked to me about nutrition, sleep, stress, or what I can actually do."
Your oncologist treats the cancer. We help you care for the whole person — and the biology underneath everything.
 "I'm a capable person, but I can't think straight about my own body right now."
That's not weakness. That's what fear and urgency do to the nervous system. We help you stabilize so you can decide clearly.
We step in to slow it down...
When you're making life-changing medical decisions, fear and urgency take over. Your sleep changes. Your thinking narrows. Everything feels high-stakes and fast. Concierge Care exists for one reason: to give you the time, the translation, and the coordinated physician oversight you deserve during one of the most volatile periods of your life.
This isn't generic support. It's a board-certified physician team applying cancer biology directly to your diagnosis, your treatment plan, and your life — with the time to actually do it well.
The team you wish your friends had.
Alona Pulde, MD
When facing cancer or serious illness, many people focus entirely on the disease itself while overlooking the factors that influence how well the body can heal, recover, and tolerate treatment. Dr. Pulde helps patients strengthen their body's internal environment through nutrition, sleep, movement, hormonal balance, stress reduction, and metabolic health. Drawing from both Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine, she helps patients build resilience, improve quality of life, and create the strongest possible foundation for healing.
Matthew Lederman, MD
A serious diagnosis often brings overwhelming amounts of information, conflicting opinions, and difficult decisions. Dr. Lederman helps patients understand their options, make sense of complex medical information, and navigate important treatment decisions with greater clarity and confidence. He serves as a trusted medical partner throughout the journey, helping patients think through new developments, prepare for appointments, and make decisions that align with what matters most to them.
Paris Williams, PhD
Dr. Williams is a Clinical Psychologist specializing in trauma, grief, relationships, and emotional healing. He helps patients process unresolved trauma, chronic stress, grief, and relationship challenges that often surface during serious illness. Because these experiences can influence sleep, nervous system regulation, inflammation, immune function, and overall resilience, his work supports both emotional well-being and the physiological foundations that contribute to healing and quality of life.
Mark Ideta
Living with serious illness can leave the body and mind stuck in a constant state of stress, worry, fear, or emotional overwhelm. Mark helps patients develop practical tools for calming the nervous system, processing difficult emotions, and responding to challenges with greater steadiness and self-compassion. As fear and emotional reactivity decrease, many people experience improved resilience, greater clarity, and a stronger ability to follow through with the decisions and health practices that support healing.
Lisa Rice
Knowing what to do is often much easier than actually doing it, especially when you're dealing with treatment, fatigue, symptoms, and the demands of everyday life. Lisa helps patients turn recommendations into practical daily habits by providing support with nutrition, meal planning, lifestyle changes, accountability, and problem-solving. Her goal is to help healthy choices become realistic, sustainable, and easier to maintain during challenging times.
Jessica Maruri
Serious illness can quickly become overwhelming, with appointments, records, test results, questions, and decisions coming from multiple directions at once. Jessica helps keep everything organized and moving smoothly. She coordinates communication, tracks important information, helps address concerns between visits, and ensures that nothing falls through the cracks so patients can spend less energy managing logistics and more energy focusing on healing.
Things every patient deserves — and rarely gets.

"Working with Matt helped me realize that connection isn't just a concept — it's something you can live in your body. Through my cancer journey, he gave me tools that brought calm to moments that once felt overwhelming."
Chef AJ
"Dr. Lederman created a space where I felt safe, heard, and understood. Through his guidance, I've learned how to understand my emotions and begin to heal. I finally feel like I'm on the right path."
David S.
"Dr. Pulde helped me achieve milestones of recovery that had eluded me for years. She approaches healing as a mind-body-life-world process and listened deeper than any doctor I've ever worked with."

Application
We know how important it is to find the right support—especially in complex or high-stakes situations.
Because of the number of individuals reaching out, we ask that you complete this brief application before scheduling. This allows us to understand your situation, assess alignment and readiness, and ensure that any conversation we have is meaningful and highly relevant to your needs.
We intentionally limit the number of individuals we work with each month so we can provide a high level of care, coordination, and responsiveness. For that reason, not all applications will move forward to a consultation.
