Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Amazing dr!

Where do I begin? After searching for drs who would help me with severe depression anxiety panic attacks I lost hope that I could find someone to help me. I was in a very dark place in life where hope was fading away. I didn’t want to live couldn’t take care of my children or do the simplest task like dressing my child. Finally came across dr Sagan in online search and I called her. She returned my call quickly and offered a zoom call. From the first appointment I knew my life was gonna change. Her comforting tone, questions made me feel heard. After her personalized treatment plan I felt better in just 2 days. The fact that she was just a text away when I needed her gave me so much help. I can never thank her enough. Im back to normal living life like before. Please know that there are amazing doctors that will pull you from your darkest times when you need help. Thank you dr Sagan for being there for me. Forever grateful!

Dr Sagan helped me get through one of the hardest periods I've ever faced. I honestly don't know how I would've made it through without her support. She is truly a lifesaver and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Dr. Sagan literally changed my life. I've suffered from medication resistant depression for decades and then found Dr. Sagan. She stuck with me every step of the way and never gave up on making sure we find just the right combination. She listens to you. I always look forward to our monthly check-ins.

Dr. Sagan CHANGED my life.
I came to doctor Sagan with what I thought was merely depression and anxiety. I was so desperate and scared. My mom actually was the one who found her and said she immediately knew we would be a good match because of her calming tone of voice and ability to listen intently. I was having suicidal ideations and she took the time to fully understand the way my brain was working. She ended up diagnosing me with bipolar II disorder and OCD. I’ve never had more clarity in my life. She prescribed low dose multiples that are tailored to each part of my brain. She has continually made micro adjustments whenever I feel a little off. I’ve never felt so normal and functional. She listens like a therapist, and has invested herself in my life and taken the time to understand the factors that contribute to my mental health. I will never be able to thank her enough. She is truly a blessing and has given me my life back. Words can’t describe how beyond grateful I am to have had in my life!

Dr Sagan is exceptional
Thank you doc, you are the best. I have lived with PTSD since I was a child and was able to manage it but two years ago I had a flareup which was very scary. It was very hard to function, I couldn’t sleep, I couldn’t eat. I tried to handle it on my own for about a month but I couldn’t. Once I reached out to Dr. Sagan she was able to help me with in a very short period of time. She is truly a genius in what she’s doing!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Grateful
I am so grateful to have found Dr. Sagan. I saw so many doctors before her but no one got it right. None of them told me I had PTSD even after all I had been through. Then they didn't give me the right meds, they didn't ask me the right questions. Now thanks to Dr. Sagan I have my life back. I had been living like this for 10 years and in a short time she changed everything. I am no longer riddled with panic in my sleep, the flashbacks are fading and I am dealing with them better. I am so grateful that I don’t need to live like this anymore. My PTSD is no longer running my life. I owe it all to Dr. Sagan. She is my favorite dr I have ever had. I am so excited to start my new life now that I am feeling better. When I pray at night I thank God for having met Dr. Sagan. ~Angela

I've worked with Dr. Sagan for almost a year now. During my first appointment, I felt understood in a way I never had before. The depth of her intuition and knowledge is refreshing and sets her apart from other psychiatrists I've worked with in the past. Her understanding has made the tedious and sometimes painful process of finding the right combination of treatments much more bearable.

Upon walking into Dr. Sagan's office I felt a very warm and loving energy, making me feel safe at a time when I had very little trust in others. I immediately felt seen and heard in a way that was much more profound than a person is usually able to offer. Part of this is because there are no boxes to fit into with Dr. Sagan, she sees you as an individual and as a whole person. Symptoms and patterns are not the end game - she goes beyond that to take into account your unique life path, energy and spiritual body. Her highly intuitive, expansive nature allows her to prescribe medications that work quickly and effectively without having months of trial and error. Beyond her brilliance as a medical professional, Dr. Sagan is one of the most genuine, authentic, loving people I have ever met. She has saved my life and changed my life by quickly correcting my brain chemistry and allowing all the space, patience and guidance I needed to align with my authentic self and shift out of the reactivi
