About Eli R Sager
About the Provider
I got into medicine to help people solve problems. Nothing is more rewarding than helping someone feel better, physically or emotionally.
My approach always starts with listening to understand. I always try to meet people where they are. I want my patients to feel seen, heard, and empowered to make decisions about their own health. When patients ask me if they should be worried about something, I try to respond honestly, clearly, and compassionately, in a way that gives them the information they need without causing unnecessary anxiety.
It's a privilege to build long-term relationships with my patients and walk with them throughout their most important moments in life.

First time I saw him I liked him Very approachable
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 1/14/2025
This is much different than the care of the staff at previous provider where it took many phone calls and computer contact to refill a single prescription. And when I finally got prescriptions refilled they called it in to wrong pharmacy costing $275 which would have been totally covered if called in correctly. Also the amount of doses was not enough to last until next appointment—diabetes medication .
