Truly grateful for the guidance received from Sagely Health I’ve learned from painful past experience (my mother died of lung cancer) that the prejudices, preferences, and limitations of whatever healthcare system you find yourself in make “the fight against cancer” so much harder than it needs to be. When my father was diagnosed with bladder cancer last year, I vowed that his journey would not be a repeat of my mother’s or my sister-in-law’s. And so I hired Dr. Jason Sager, M.D., at Sagely Health. It was the best decision I ever made: it saved my father’s life. The healthcare system is replete with dedicated, over-worked doctors and other healthcare professionals, all doing the best that they can in an imperfect system: a system that requires patients to conform, instead of adapting itself to their needs; a system that is a minefield to navigate; a system in which it is impossible for a layperson to evaluate whether the advised course of action is the right thing to do—or even whether it’s necessary at all. After watching two family members surrender their power and “do as they were told”—with extremely distressing results—I hired Sagely Health determined that my father would not suffer the same fate. It has been an exhausting 14 months with many twists and turns. I shudder to think what would have happened had I not had Sagely Health whispering in my ear. After clarifying my goals and my father’s current situation, Dr Sager created a personal map of the territory that lay ahead for my father’s cancer journey. At every juncture, he let me know what “gold standard” treatment looked like; highlighted where there was a gap; and showed me how to access a five-star level of treatment regardless of any resistance I might encounter. All of this was done without antagonizing the medical professionals, which was absolutely key. I found this invaluable—and reassuring. The weight of being responsible for a loved one’s cancer journey can feel increasingly overwhelming and I was terrified of making a mistake. With Dr Sager in my back pocket, my father and I got on with “chopping wood, carrying water,” confident that a highly-qualified, independent someone had one eye constantly on the medium- and long-term strategy.

The Cancer Busters--Dr. Jason Sager and Sagely Health Dr. Sager has provided me with outstanding medical expertise, compassionate care, as well as scientific knowledge and treatment since September 2019. When my rare cancer, aggressive basal cell, traveled to my lymph nodes, Dr. Sager found and conferred with an oncologist and surgical oncologist at MSK on my behalf to address my situation. After consulting with these doctors, Dr. Sager found a clinical trial at Johns Hopkins that had the potential to shrink or eliminate my tumor without surgery, without devastating side effects. After six months of treatment, my tumor remained unchanged. Covid was intensifying. Dr. Sager had the foresight to realize hospitals might shut down. Dr. Sager swung into action, and I was scheduled for surgery. The surgeon Dr. Sager found was outstanding. Not only was her surgical ability top notch, but she was compassionate and provided excellent follow up care. Dr. Sager continues to consult with my surgeon on my behalf, and both still monitor my progress. Without Dr. Sager I would never have found this surgeon, I never would have known to do Genetic testing, or Natara blood tests. Without Dr. Sager and his scientific team I might not be here today. Under his independent, unbiased, unlimited or restricted medical care, I know I got the best treatment available anywhere. No cancer is difficult enough, no patient sick enough, and no challenge big enough for Dr. Sager and his team to take on. He is a Godsend. N.A.S.

outstanding human Dr Sager is such a smart Dr and a kind compassionate human who cares about his patients. He knows the science of oncology and cares about the medical outcome, but he also cares deeply about the emotional well being of the patient and whole family. He is an outstanding scientists and physician. Really a great human being.

Incredibly valuable support Working with Sagely Health has been a great experience. They provided valuable studies that applied directly to my situation. My mind is more at ease, and I’m grateful for their support and advice. The team is kind, compassionate and professional.

A game changer for finding relevant clinical trials I have met cancer patients—from my greater family or from outreach organizations—who have asked me advice on cancer treatments. It would take me sometimes hours to scour the internet for clinical trials, and sometimes I would come up empty handed. In 30 seconds, Dr. Sager personally showed me the power of Sagely Health. We quickly identified clinical trials that were relevant for a patient and most importantly, this new information became an avenue of hope. I will continue to recommend Sagely Health to cancer patients I meet.
