In their words
“Dr. Sam Madeira is one of the most intelligent, compassionate, and caring doctors I have ever met. And I’m a physician myself! He helped my partner immensely with some hormonal issues which arose after an intense period of stress. Often, doctors won’t look into people’s complaints when the basic lab numbers look “normal”. Dr. Madeira will take the time to listen to your story, order the right lab work, apply his vast wisdom and experience to create the best plan of care for you. For the best care for your best life, go to see Dr. Madeira!”
“I’ve been working with Dr. Madeira since December to resolve chronic Epstein Barr. Dr. Madeira is rigorous, tenacious, and thoroughly dedicated to helping me resolve my longstanding health issues. He uses outcome based methodology to customize my treatment plan, stays present and supportive, and non-judgemental every step of the way. At every wall I hit, he provides solutions for overcoming obstacles. … He’s unlike any provider I’ve ever worked with, and usually people like myself have seen many.”
“Dr. Madeira is compassionate and truly listens. He takes the time to look beyond band-aid solutions and digs deeper to look at the root cause. He has put a lot of time into even figuring out the most complex symptoms and provides real solutions that work. I highly recommend him as a doctor.”
“Dr. Madeira is very knowledgeable and intelligent about helping people get better especially when other methods have failed. What I like most about him is his bedside manner. I’ve met other NDs who try to impress me by speaking with words that only someone with that degree would know. Dr. Madeira explains things in a way that is easily understood and he becomes your ally on your health journey. Making an appointment is also very easy!”
“… I have been impressed by his genuine care for his field, amount of knowledge, willingness to dig even more detailed information to satisfy my unending questions, thoroughness of his explanations, and drive for bettering my health, well beyond my initial requests of simple tests and supplements. It has been a great relationship that I hope to continue for years to come.”
“Dr. Madeira is passionate about providing excellent root cause and proactive care. He provides a wide range of services for men and women who are seeking help with chronic inflammatory illnesses and hormonal health. …”
“Sam is an amazing provider who listened to my needs, developed a plan and provided accountability for me to back control of my body. He’s an innovator and an amazing provider who I trust and respect immensely.”
“Dr. Madeira is amazing! He is so helpful with hormonal issues. I highly recommend him.”
“Dr. Madeira has been amazing. He helped with a stomach issue when nobody else could. I feel 100% better and continue to see him. He’s responsive, attentive and kind.”
“Dr. Sam helped me improve my health immeasurably. In improving my health, I had the energy to improve other areas of my life as well!! Dr. Sam is like a super hero who is extremely knowledgeable but who is also genuinely caring and kind. I’m so glad I made the decision to work with him.”
“It is very easy to talk to a doctor about issues. And I like that along with natural medicines/products he also makes suggestions about lifestyle and diet changes that can help promote a better lifestyle. A very solid choice and glad I decided to take this route.”
“From the get go Dr. Madeira’s practice and his attention to detail impressed me. It is obvious and easy to recognize his desire to accommodate his patients with the intention to help and guide. Great communication and quick to respond. … Dr Madeira’s knowledge and passion for natural medicine is the main reason I chose to go to him. I am happy with the health care plan he chose for me, and I recommend his services to anyone who wants to give his/her body a chance to heal with a natural approach.”
“Several years ago, when I was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, Dr. Madeira was one of the first medical professionals I sought out for advice. He gave me his thoughts on what I ought to do, as well as where and with whom I should seek additional and advanced treatment. … he’s well informed and well connected, which means that if you require additional treatment, he knows who to connect you with.”
“I went to Dr. Madeira to ask for help. He was very quick in getting back to me and after discussing symptoms, he gave me a recipe for a tea drink made out of organic herbs. … In several days, my chest congestion and cold symptoms have entirely subsided.”
“Last year I did Sam’s metabolic reboot program. He helped me a lot on my health journey, trying to understand what was going on with me. He provided me with an abundance of resources. I lost a significant amount of weight on his program, and developed a new understanding of how my body functions.”

Patient stories
Stories from Dr. Madeira’s patients
Amber’s story
Over three years, Amber had gained a significant amount of weight and noticed her energy was low. She started exercising and changed her diet, but she still didn’t see or feel a difference.
Her doctors told her that her results were in the low-normal range and everything was working properly. But Amber didn’t feel normal. She did her research and found Dr. Madeira, who took the time to listen to all of her symptoms and her history before creating a plan they both agreed on.
Within the first three months, Amber noticed a big difference in her energy and had lost 8 pounds. She’s thrilled with how she feels, inside and out.
Greg’s story
Greg and his partner were expecting a baby, and his energy was low. He started working with Dr. Madeira in May 2016, five months before his baby was born.
Hormone testing helped explain his low energy: his cortisol was low. Together they made changes to his lifestyle, sleep, diet and supplements, and within five months Greg felt alive again.
Along with that work, wellness testing found early signs of a cardiovascular concern, which Greg was grateful to learn about early. He highly recommends Dr. Madeira to anyone who wants to invest in their health and their future.
Mary’s story
In Dr. Madeira’s words: “Mary came to see me after seeing other doctors and getting worse instead of better. She had a rash on her hands and joint pain in her hands, hips and feet. After diligent work together with our team, the autoimmune arthritis symptoms in her hands, back and hips, and the rash on her hands, improved dramatically.”
