Is a "HeadStart" visit with Mia Taylor right for you?

If you are meeting me to discuss Gastrointestinal concerns, please consider the below. If you’re coming in for other reasons, ignore this and I look forward to meeting you soon.

I have made a new Headstart service available to patients that can get us rolling much more quickly and save you a bit of money as well.

Mia Taylor, an Integrative Health Coach specialized in GI, has joined my team in order to make your process of healing as efficient and excellent as possible. I am encouraging new GI patients to have a HeadStart visit with her before your and my first visit. The goal is to help you get as much testing and initial basic treatments and condition identification work done as possible prior to our visit. This better enables you and I to get actively working on your concerns right off the bat in our first visit, vs needing to wait until the second.

Further, Mia can take the likely comprehensive health plan that you and I put together and help make it something that you can actually integrate into your day to day life.

This is not necessary in order to work with me, just recommended. In the end, adding Mia to your team saves you time, money (at least $300) and normally will get you progressing faster than otherwise.

If you are interested in this Headstart visit, please connect with her at MiaTaylor.com. (If meeting with her delays your initial visit, rest assured that I am reserving spots for HeadStart patients to get in sooner than normal).

Finding Dr Sandford and Coach Mia Taylor has severely changed my health and happiness. From the jump, I was listened to and most importantly – believed. I came from working with a physician that no matter my symptoms, my concerns, or even my fears – I was gaslit and ignored.

Coming to Dr Sandford- my symptoms mattered, my concerns mattered and I felt like there was a plan (or many) to try to figure out the root of my issues. After our initial discussion, I was sent to Mia Taylor (who we lovingly call Dr. Mia) and she and I have been working side by side to continue the plan Dr Sandford put in place.

When we are testing out a new health concern with medication or lifestyle change – she is very present and available. I have terrible migraines and desperately wanted to take my meds but didn’t know if it was counterproductive to the process we were going through. Mia was incredibly responsive and aided in any questions concerns I have (after hours).

I can see improvements in my symptoms and concerns and a massive amount of that is due to Mia’s consistency with me.

Finally a Dr who listens! All I can say is FINALLY!!....Dr Sandford is fantastic, it’s so nice to have a Dr actually spend time with you and he listens...sometimes I feel like I can just go in there and spew all the crap going on in my life and it feels good to get a response that "we will get you better". So I would say anyone who’s dealing with Hashimotos or other autoimmune problems to please go see Dr Sandford, you won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Adam is incredible. His experience allowed him to be able to see exactly what is in my gut that has been throwing a buuuunch of stuff off throughout my life. (Weight gain, hair growth, skin... etc). We have a plan set and I am confident that we’ll be able to get me healthy finally. He knows what he is talking about and won’t stop until he finds a solution. 10/10!

I have been searching for over 10 years, trying to find out what was the cause of a myriad of problems. Dr. Adam Sandford conducted many tests and zeroed in on conditions that have stymied my regular doctors. Including one that they should have caught early on. He and his staff have a marvelous, positive attitude. I am so lucky to have found him and this branch of medicine.

After becoming frustrated with the level of care from my current healthcare providers, I went looking for someone who would really listen to my concerns with an open mind and not just follow standard protocol dictated by insurance companies. I was so very blessed to find Dr. Sandford. He sent me home with a “wellness plan” and my energy level is already improving. It was refreshing to talk to a doctor genuinely interested in bringing me to optimal health and not just treating my symptoms!

Dr. Sandford is a rare gem in the medical field. His empathetic approach and genuine care has truly transformed my health. He paid close attention to my bloating and irregularity issues, taking the time to understand my concerns. Dr. Sanford's comprehensive knowledge and ability to explain complex concepts made me feel empowered and educated. Under his guidance, I followed a personalized treatment plan, resulting in the results I was looking for. My bloating has significantly reduced and I feel much more regular. Dr. Sandford goes above and beyond, providing ongoing support and creating a safe space for patients. I highly recommend him for anyone seeking a gut doctor who truly cares.

Fantastic doctor. I've spoken to 6 or so doctors so far in the journey of getting on top of my sleep and gut issues. Adam was on the money really quickly. His suggestions immediately has a positive impact on my fatigue and sleep issues. Highly recommended!

I have been working with Dr. Sandford for a few months now and have found that his approach is very holistic, thorough, and empowering for me as a patient. More importantly, the results have been very positive! After starting treatment with him, I have felt better than I had felt in a long time. He patiently answers all my questions and responds to all my concerns. I am so grateful for the recommendation I received to see him and happily pass along the recommendation to anybody reading this review. Best wishes.

I have been struggling with health issues for 1.5 years. I have seen over 15 specialists and Drs trying to get some relief from thyroid issues that turned into digestive issues and chronic pain. Met with Dr. Sandford and he was very attentive, full of information and seemed to genuinely care about all that was going on for me which is hard to find with Drs. I felt very much in good hands and since starting with him have finally found relief from chronic pain, energy levels are improving and I am finally starting to feel like human again. Very knowledgeable, caring and overall wonderful Dr. Would highly recommend!
I've worked with Dr. S once to have him look into various medical issues I'm experiencing. He is thoughtful, a good listener, and doesn't take anything at face value. By that, I mean that, he wants to make sure he examines how things in your body may be related (or not) and find the root of the cause(s). I appreciate this holistic approach and have already seen benefits from some of the things he's recommended. I believe Dr. S to be very knowledgeable and I think he really does care for the well-being of his patients! I look forward to continuing to work with him.

Dr. Adam Sanford is an excellent, compassionate, and caring doctor, and I am lucky to have found him when I lived in LA. My husband and I have been under his care for a couple of years now, and he has truly changed our lives. He is very patient and caring and will listen attentively, and is never rushed. When I have an appointment with him, I feel like I'm calling a family member, he remembers everything you have discussed previously, and he makes you feel genuinely cared for. I feel heard and validated and never judged. He will listen and will always try to do what is best. He is very knowledgeable in both holistic and traditional medicine. He always tries holistic or a combination of holistic and conventional medicine until we reach the right balance. His focus is never about money or payments etc., and he doesn't request unnecessary appointments. He can be reached quite easily via email and is very quick to respond.

Dr. Sandford has been the most pivotal piece of my health and healing journey. He is one of those doctors that anyone with autoimmunity issues could only dream of finding, as he's genuinely compassionate, has incredible bed side manner, and works insanely hard for his patients. He has an approach where he looks at every piece of the puzzle (including things that other doctors may not even consider) in order to see a full picture in regards to your health. Whereas some doctors know what they know and that's it, Dr. Sandford is constantly doing research and learning more in order to better serve his patients. I've had the good fortune of working with Dr. Sandford for nearly five years now, and can honestly say that I don't know where I would be health-wise had I not found him.

Dr. Adam Sandford is THE doctor to go to. I started seeing Dr. Sanford last year, and for the first time in decades, I'm actually improving physically and mentally. Dr. Sandford is extremely knowledgeable and has offered a variety of successful treatments for my auto-immune disease. In fact, he was able to get me off of an extremely addictive medication that I have been taking for over 10 years. Just for that, I am beyond grateful to him. Dr. Sandford has also helped me with thyroid and hormonal issues. I actually look forward to my Zoom appoinments with him because I know how much he genuinely cares. He listens, is super thorough when reviewing my labs and treatment plan, and is just an email away if you have additional questions. I feel so blessed to have him taking care of me. If you want the best, go see Dr. Adam Sandford!
