About
Tamara Sachs, MD
Dr. Sachs has been practicing medicine for 30 years, and converted her practice to Functional Medicine in 1998. She prevents and treats chronic illness by addressing its underlying root causes, remaining respectful of the uniqueness, complexity, and intuitions that make us human.
Dr. Sachs graduated with honors from the Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City and completed her Residency in Internal Medicine at Saint Raphael Hospital and Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. She obtained her Bachelor’s Degree with Honors in Molecular Biology and Philosophy at Hunter College, and prior to that studied Naturopathy in France for three years.
After residency, she worked for several years as an Emergency Medicine doctor in New Haven, and then for a decade as a primary care doctor. In 1998, Dr. Sachs turned her focus to Clinical Nutrition, Toxicology, Integrative and Functional Medicine, and dedicated several thousand hours of accredited advanced medical education to this field.
She is a graduate member of the Institute of Functional Medicine and uses other alternative modalities in her office, including Frequency Specific Microcurrent, to help patients recover from chronic inflammation and pain syndromes like fibromyalgia.
Dr. Sachs’ extensive experience and training shaped her unique and effective approach to health and healing. She uses specialized laboratory tests in conjunction with uniquely comprehensive intake forms to assess nutrition, inflammation, oxidative stress, detoxification pathways, toxic load and genetic SNPs.
