Dr. Samantha Sattler, MD

I went to see Dr. Sattler in September with BP issues and her NP started me on another medication along with the one I had been taking from a previous doctor. Told me to half it for now and see how it goes and to keep taking my other meds. So, I did that for 2-3 weeks and when I went back to them again, I told them it's not working. Sattler told me to take the full dose when her NP told me to only take half, and she didn't understand why he told me that. I started taking the full dose beginning of October. During which I had sent her messages on MyChart with my conditions and all I would get back is keep tracking it and send me readings 1 time a week. October 29th, I was so frustrated because nothing has changed, and I had been getting dizzy to the point where I couldn't drive. She told me to double my new medication. November 15th, I passed out in my kitchen giving me a major concussion. Research says those meds may cause dizziness and to stop ASAP!! She needs her license suspended!

Writing this review on behalf of my mother. She went to Dr. Sattler for several months complaining of throat soreness when swallowing and pain when drinking liquids, and having a fever. All Dr. Sattler did was look at her throat once with a flashlight, and told her she needs to take allergy meds. A week after that, she is hospitalized for diverticulitis and a sore throat, they take 4 polyps out of her throat and are testing her for esophageal cancer, in addition to late stage pancreatitis. Dr. Sattler did not refer her to anyone or pay attention close enough to my senior age mother or ask enough probing questions to get to to the right solution. I honestly think she should be fired.

Concerns I had were noted. That's it.

I saw Dr. Sattler last December for a physical and she didn't do much other than listen to me breath. She acted like she didn't care about my health at all and just wanted to prescribe medicine.

She seems to be missing some signs of problems with me.

She is always very thorough.

Excellent! I’ve been seeing her for several years. If she has any fault, it’s working for a big medical company. Any negative reviews can be attributed to the way our medical system operates. The company wants to get patients in and out or turn those tables as they say in the restaurant industry. They offer medications, interpret lab results, and give referrals to specialists for conditions requiring more expertise. You wouldn’t go to a GP for brain surgery, right? The days of running to fetch doc baker to take care of everything are long gone, get used to it.

Like the other reviews I just read, Dr. Sattler is unwillingly to discuss options. She doesn’t seem to know much and will only refer to a specialist instead of trying to help you for the reason you visited her.

She is unwilling to help and is not knowledgeable of common health conditions

Sad excuse of a doctor. Went in to see this doctor after having chest, nasal congestion, and a general unwell feeling for over 2 weeks. My normal GP, who is excellent and detailed, was unavailable. This lady looked in my nose and said it was inflamed, listened to my chest and said it was fine, and then sent me on my way. She also stated that I don’t look sick. I felt as if I was back in grade school faking an illness and trying not to get caught. She honestly spent a couple minutes with me at most. One week later symptoms still did not go away and I was diagnosed with flu type a. I will be following up with this complaint to corporate for such an incompetent doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Sattler for many years but I dread going to see her now. There is always some sort of issue with the office staff or billing. She will never talk price for services in the office, passes off any of these issues to her office staff, and refuses to return a simple phone call unless it is a medical question. Mostly she will just send a repsonse via their app for medical issues. As a physician she is nice and pleasant when you see here in person. She is not an independent doctor and is an employee of SSM. As an employee of SSM, she does take every opportunity to upsell you services within the SSM network. This is instead of handling management of your health herself. As I mentioned before she will refuse to return your call and will not deal with any issues such as incorrect billing or over charges. I just went in recently for my yearly visit, was charged for services I didn't receive and was sent a bill for the visit at an increased price after I had alrea

Far from good. I switched to her after my SSM Primary stopped seeing patients. From the start she didn't have an interest in my health. She basically wanted to prescribe more medication rather than help find the source. 3 months after filling my prescriptions she refused to fill them stating she didn't know that I was being treated for the condition. When I have been being treated for this same condition for nearly 10 years. Currently looking for a better doctor!

I should have heeded the advice of others and looked for another doctor, however I kept my appointment based on convenience alone...not a best practice when looking for a PCP. I imagine for a routine checkup, Dr. Sattler may fit the bill, but if you're looking to have a discussion/conversation regarding healthcare, look elsewhere. Now I understand why it was so easy to schedule an appointment with relatively short notice. I was asked to find another doctor better suited for my "personality".

Well I think Dr. Sattler is terrific. After being frustrated with my past Doctor, I switched to SSM. Having visited with Dr. Sattler,...I'm happy with her level of Care both in terms of Intellect & Bed Side Manner. I have seen a lot of Doctors,...She ranks among the best. Smart, efficient and kind. A+ Joe C.

I went to her after a car accident. I was in a lot of pain shortness of breath heart rate 115 blood pressure 144/80. I have a history of svt tachycardia and had a heart eblation. She acted like I was an inconvenience put me on volume said I was having ANXIETY!!! I asked her a course of treatment she asked me what I thought. She was very negligent in my treatment no ct scan Mri or maybe refer me to my cardiologist. I left there feeling hopeless. She overlooked the obvious WHIch was my HEART.

If you are looking for a traditional doctor that wants to simply push pills, she may be OK, but every time I've tried to discuss functional therapies with and vitamins that my previous doctor recommended, she simply shook her head and told me that doesn't work. Part of the poor rating is probably because I really liked my previous doctor because he would openly discuss alternatives from strictly taking drugs with me, but I was forced to change because of insurance. I have switched again.
