Dr. Daniel R Sage, MD

I walked out of my appointment with Dr. Sage on the phone scheduling with a new doctor at an office I trusted over 90 minutes away. He was incredibly dismissive, refused to acknowledge my genetic connective tissue disorder (which complicates any medical treatment I receive and should weigh especially heavily on joint issues), and literally walked out of the office before I could ask a single question forcing me to chase him into the hall to ask if he has any recommendations for pain relief as I hadn't slept in weeks. He begrudgingly sent me for an MRI which he was confident would come back clean and assured me I did not need a follow-up appointment. When he called to tell me that I surprisingly had a significant labral tear, he did not explain my options or set any expectations for care or recovery. I'm not sure if his treatment of me was related to being female, under 50, made him uncomfortable by having a condition he is not familiar with, or if this is just how he treats all his patients, but it was completely unacceptable.

He curtly told me I was overweight and would not consider me for surgery at that time. Told me to ask my primary care doctor all of my questions, as he won’t deal with me until I lose weight. Thank you for the $35 copay.

Dr Sage did a full knee replacement on me. He is a true professional and very easy to work with. Anyone considering this type of surgery would do well to consider Dr. Sage
