Patient experiences

July 30, 2026
I really like Alex, Dr. Sager's medical assistant. She always makes me feel well taken care of. She removed the [ ] from my [ ] last week, and she did a great job.
July 30, 2026
Dr Sager's MA is thorough, listens, and knows her patients. Thanks
July 29, 2026
Doctor and all staff are excellent!
July 28, 2026
For Dr. Sager and Dr. [ ] and Ethan--all excellent listeners!
July 28, 2026
Dr. Sager and his team always provide excellent care.
July 27, 2026
Dr. SAGER and DOCTOR [ ] were excellent health providers. Also, Holly, who gave me hand therapy for over a month after breaking my wrist.
July 27, 2026
My husband had a [ ] and I called Alex, Dr. Sager's nurse, to explain the sitch. She talked to Dr. Sager and they managed to see my husband, [ ], late on a Friday, almost immediately. They (Sager & Alex) took care of the medical emergency in a way that addressed the problem, gave him a Rx and we both left feeling better. I might add that any other doctor probably would have told my husband to go to the emergency room and not seen him at all. But, that is the kind of doctor that Dr. Sager is and his nurse Alex is equally caring and kind. I know that Dr. Sager is going to retire one day and I will be like everyone else, thrown in with a doc or NP or PA that doesn't know me or care about my health in the same way that Dr. Sager has for the past 20 years. He is an outstanding man and an excellent doctor and I cherish every day that I can still call myself his patient. He is a noble man.
July 27, 2026
Dr. Sager and his nurse are both exceptional. They don’t question me about situations that I obviously don’t have issues with, that would be redundant.
July 11, 2026

July 11, 2026
Alex is always wonderful and the front desk folks are always personable.
July 05, 2026
I have complete confidence in Dr John Sager due to his communication skills and effort to discuss my health in general. He followed up on both tests that I had done within 24 hours via MyChart and set up referral appointments as per our discussions during my check up visit. I am embarrassed that I do not remember the name of the front office person and I believe the Medical Attendant's name is Alex. Both were friendly, welcoming, and professional.
July 05, 2026

Dr Sager is an excellent doctor, he practices in a way that is genuine, informed, and gets results. Both the Alex's are a reflextion of Dr Sagers' humane connection and results driven health care. I am so grateful to be in their care. On a second supportive note, the front desk is outstanding. A welcome that sets a tone of "we got this". It is an honor to contribute to supporting Dr Sager's practice. [ ]

February 14, 2026
Dr. John Sager is a wonderful physician. He has been my doctor for over 20 yrs and I feel I am in excellent health because of his care and concern. He is extraordinary and I don't what I will ever do if he retires. I listen to my friends and family who NEVER see an MD and have no relationship with their doctor, IF they have one. I am blessed and lucky to have good insurance and John Sager, not in that order. He is up to breast on all medical issues and knows so much. There is never a question he cannot answer and his MA, Alex, is a jewel too. In this age of impersonal medicine and constant shifting of providers, my husband and I feel like we are receiving care from years ago. John Sager is a jewel and Asante should never ever let him go. He is an asset to asante as is Alex, his MA. I cannot praise John Sager any higher, he is THE BEST!!!!
