The one thing I love about Dr. Sagers is that he talks to me about my mental health, something that he cannot get valuable insight on using blood or labwork. Dr. Sagers understands that mental health doesn't discriminate, it could care less about someone's success or wealth.

I very much appreciate Dr. Sager's easy and humerous demeanor. He listens with a keen ear and I have always felt his care and concern to be genuine. While he displays a great sense of humor, I also see him transition to "serious mode" seamlessly, giving me confidence in his advice and prognosis for my concerns. I very much appreciate Dr. Sagers and am happy with the care he provides!

Dr. Sagers has been my general practitioner for several years, and is among the best doctors that I've worked with. For some reason though, I received no follow-up from him after my (most recent visit). He has been very good about providing a brief "no changes" message in the MercyCare portal, or a new suggested course of action. Sometimes, his nurse gives me a quick call, or I've even received a letter from Mercy about my visit. I know that Dr. Sagers is swamped, as are his nurses/staff. Still, it's highly unusual to receive no follow-up.
