What Members Are Saying

In August, I was rushed by ambulance to the INOVA Fairfax Hospital VA Emergency Room. While the ER physicians were working to diagnose the condition Dr. Sager, surprisingly, called my cell phone. While my family and I were talking with him the the ER surgeon appeared in the room. Dr. Sager was available to consult with her. All worked out well and I was soon released. It meant a lot to me to see that, even late at night, my doctor would see that I was in the ER and would personally check to learn more and be available for consultation and reassurance.

My husband and I were patients of Dr Sager before he joined MDVIP. My husband was a bit wary of the expense of joining, but I convinced him that we'd need to continue with Dr Sager as we aged. My husband was already beginning to show signs of forgetfulness and I knew I would need a doctor who would advise me about my husband's condition. That turned out to be so true: About a year ago my husband had a hemorrhagic stroke. We were in the emergency room of our local hospital; the ER doctor told me he had a brain bleed and left before I could ask any questions. At that moment, Dr Sager called me and explained the situation more fully. After surgery to extract the blood that was pooling in my husband's brain and four months of rehab, we brought him home. Later last year a pulmonary embolism caused another hospitalization and full-blown dementia ensued. Dr Sager and I spent many hours on the phone discussing options and ultimately, my husband had to enter a memory care facility. I am fully confident that Dr Sager will continue to answer my questions promptly and with great compassion.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Sager. I have been his patient for many years. He has always taken the time to listen to me, has cheered me up when I needed it, answered my questions, and taken care of my problems himself or referred me to specialist. When I broke my foot recently on a Saturday and went to an emergency room, Dr. Sager called me right away to check on me. Thank you, Dr. Sager.

Meet Dennis Sager, MD, MS

The rapport between the patient and physician is a key component of the health and well-being of patients. My MDVIP-affiliated practice provides me the time to get to know my patients on a more personal level and time to explain how medical decisions are made and treatment options are formulated. We live in a highly educated community, and I feel that patients should be fully involved in their medical decision making. My background is unique; I am an MIT trained engineer who worked in the NASA Mission Control Center during Apollo. Combining my analytical skills and my relationship with each patient enables me to educate the patient and formulate proper plans of care.

I have practiced internal medicine in Reston for over 30 years. I was one of the founding physicians of Reston Hospital. As an internist, I treat conditions ranging from hypertension, diabetes and hypothyroidism, to the common (and sometimes not so common) cold. I have also combined my NASA and FAA engineering experience with my medical education in a different way; I am a Senior FAA Medical Examiner, certifying pilots as medically fit to fly. Throughout my medical practice I have always spent a large amount of time with my patients at every visit. My MDVIP-affiliated practice, often compared to a concierge medicine practice, also offers conveniences like same- or next-day appointments. Changes in the practice of medicine have forced doctors to squeeze more patients into shorter periods of time, which I choose not to do. MDVIP allows me to continue to practice medicine in the manner I feel it should be done.

Frequently Asked Questions

Doctors who operate in the MDVIP models typically see far fewer patients than traditional primary care doctors. That gives them more time to develop deeper doctor-patient relationships that can lead to better outcomes. They can also offer conveniences that most primary care doctors can’t, including same- and next-day appointments. They’re available after hours for urgent matters. And they have time to focus on prevention. That focus begins with the MDVIP Wellness Program, which patients pay for with their annual membership fee.

Most MDVIP-affiliated primary care practices accept insurance (your physician can tell you whether they accept your specific insurance plan). Your annual fee pays for preventive care medical services that insurance usually doesn’t cover (e.g., advanced diagnostic testing and screenings). Your MDVIP-affiliated physician will continue to bill your insurance and charge copays, co-insurances and deductibles as he or she currently does for other medical services like sick visits.

MDVIP makes wellness and prevention easier by providing your physician with innovative tools and technology. MDVIP supports your physician’s practice and seeks to eliminate barriers to a positive healthcare experience. Your doctor will determine whether and how to incorporate these tools at his/her discretion.

Testimonials from patients of Dennis Sager, MD, MS

I can always count on Dr. Sager.

from Frances in VA • March 25, 2020

I believe that Dr. Sager saved my life. When I saw him for moderate arm and leg pain that I thought was being caused by cholesterol meds, he did an EKG. Long story short, within 15 minutes I was in intensive care and had a triple bypass the next day. That was 18 years ago. I know that if I hadn’t seen him that day, I wouldn’t be here to tell my story today. Dr. Sager is thorough, attentive, and Read more...

He took care of us even though we were 1,000 miles from home

from Rosalind in VA • March 12, 2020

My husband and I were on our annual winter trek to Florida when a suspicious looking red bump (pimple? pustule? boil?) appeared on my husband's nose. We called Dr. Sager and discussed possibilities. I photographed the nose and sent it up; Dr Sager immediately prescribed something to help it and in two minutes the prescription appeared at a pharmacy only two miles from where we were staying.

from Karen in VA • March 12, 2020

Last year I was experiencing stomach acid that would not abate. Dr. Sager was out of the country at the time I called in to say that the medicine I was using wasn’t working. His assistants got a message to him en route to his destination, and upon arrival, he called personally and advised me to go to the ER on the very small chance that this was a heart problem. It was not, and I received Read more...
