DISCOVER GREAT HEALTHCARE IN LAWRENCE

"I designed care at Atma Clinic to be exactly what I would want for myself, my family, and my friends. Come back to a place when the doctor-patient relationship means something." - Dr. Sandal

Background & Specialties

After graduating from Cornell University (B.A. with Distinction, Biology) and the University of Kansas (Doctor of Medicine), I completed my medical residency in Family Medicine at the University of Arizona. There I studied closely with leaders in Integrative and Functional Medicine through the Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine, drawing from the best in Western and Eastern Medicine. Before starting Atma Clinic, I worked in a more traditional clinic, serving patients with many chronic and acute conditions.


Specialties include:

  • Metabolic Conditions (High blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, weight, etc)
  • Auto-immune disease (Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Vitiligo, Scleroderma, etc)
  • Gut Health (Crohn’s, Ulcerative Colitis, Chronic Bloating, SIBO, etc)
  • Chronic Infections (Chronic Lyme, Strep Colonization, etc)
  • Hormone Optimization (Sex hormones, Thyroid hormones, etc)
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Biotoxicity (Mold toxicity, etc)
  • Mental and Spiritual Health (Anxiety, Depression, Stress, ADHD, OCD, etc)

My passion is helping patients find their health. This may mean finding improvement in a complicated illness (the single most common story I hear is, “Doc, I just got back from Mayo, and they couldn’t figure it out!”), helping an elite athlete get that extra five percent and anything in between. I have a special interest in helping people discover a greater connection between their spirit and body.


I started Atma Clinic because I wanted to practice medicine in a more effective and holistic manner. My education and training empowered me to make a huge difference in my clients' health and vitality, but the business-as-usual medical system was keeping me from spending the necessary time and attention with my clients. Through Atma's subscription model, I'm able to form lasting partnerships with my patients.

“I used to pay $1,200 a month for insurance for my family. My employer paid some but it was still $600 a month with a huge deductible. Already the great care at Atma has kept me out of the ER twice. Great care pays for itself!” - Michael E, Lawrence

Common Questions About Health Insurance

  • Why is Health Insurance so expensive

    When ObamaCare was passed in 2010 the cost of insurance skyrocketed for many. The intention was good, but the execution was riddled with special interests and poor planning. Legally mandating health insurance created a captive market. Companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield increased their premiums massively and began to cut costs wherever they could (for example, raising deductibles). The result was worse, more expensive health insurance for many people. 


    In reaction to this, insurance alternatives were created. They offered pre-ObamaCare style coverage at pre-ObamaCare prices. Insurance alternatives continue to offer excellent healthcare coverage at a fraction of the cost of conventional health insurance.

  • What are "Insurance Alternatives"?

    Typically these insurance alternatives are “catastrophic coverage plans” and are excellent for people who are proactive in their healthcare. This is why they’re such a good fit with the proactive healthcare at Atma Clinic.


    Insurance alternatives aren’t the best option for everyone, but for most people they provide amazing coverage (full emergency care without the red-tape of conventional insurance) with much lower premiums and deductibles. 

  • How does ATMA approach Health Insurance?

    At Atma Clinic we have looked closely at the available insurance alternatives and have chosen to partner with Zion HealthShare. Zion HealthShare features affordable rates and robust coverage.
