Cherisa Sandrow
I am a board-certified Family Medicine physician licensed in 30 states, a telemedicine clinician, coach, and digital health consultant. After years of full-spectrum practice, personal trauma, and professional upheaval, I found myself reckoning with burnout, identity loss, and a healthcare system that no longer reflected why I entered medicine.
My work now sits at the intersection of healing, leadership, spirituality, and healthcare transformation. Through writing, coaching, and collaboration, I support physicians in reclaiming themselves, their expertise, and their sense of purpose — while continuing to practice medicine in ways that are humane, sustainable, and aligned.
This blog is a reflection on that journey.
