About Tami
A healthcare insider dedicated to being your trusted advocate and guide.
Why I Do This Work
"During my years working inside the healthcare system, I watched too many families struggle—overwhelmed by confusing paperwork, frustrated by insurance denials, and uncertain about making critical decisions for their loved ones. I saw how a little guidance and advocacy could change everything.
That's why I founded Sandler Patient Advocacy. I want to be the caring, knowledgeable ally that every family deserves—someone who speaks the language of healthcare, fights for what's right, and truly listens to your concerns. You shouldn't have to navigate this alone."
