Dr. Sager is a true gem. I have had the most severe pulmonary issues for over eight years and had to move from Pasadena to Santa Barbara to get away from air pollution. Finding exceptional doctors has been a real challenge. I have a very complex and unique medical history. Dr. Sager took the time to call my doctors in San Francisco and Los Angeles, also to research a medical trial I am on in order to give me the best care possible. He researched drugs I am on that are off label in the manner I am using them. He has taken a extraordinary amount of time to listen to me and hear my concerns. Dr. Sager's CV speaks for itself in terms of his medical education and abilities. His concern for his patients and the time he takes to learn about their unique condition as well as their symptoms is so reassuring. I am thrilled that I have found a pulmonary super star in our little city. Thank you Dr. Sager!

Worked up my problem until he found the problem, called me at home and helped my family understand what I have. Remarkable bed-side manner

Dr Sager saved my life 2 years ago. I owe everything to him. Without him, I don't think I would be alive and living a productive life. He is the best.

Dr Sager is the best doctor I have ever seen. He saved my life. He is very caring about his patients. He takes time to listen to my issues. He always calls me back when I leave him messages. He definitely is best in his field. I would recommend him to anyone who has pulmonary problems. He diagnosed me with pulmonary hypertension and if it weren't for him I would not be here today.

Dr. Sager cares. His genuine interest in his patient - the person and their their health - puts him in a rarefied category of physicians who are both excellent doctors and people who want to know you. I am fortunate to have been accepted as one of Dr. Sager's patients.

Dr. Sager is the kindest most compassionate doctor who won't give up until he's found the root of a problem and found a way to help you. Very thorough and intelligent.
