"Have you ever needed to contact your physician only to be told by a receptionist "The doctor will get back to you."? You may need a prescription refilled, aren't sure if you should go to the emergency room, or have a question about your medication.Of course, the doctor doesn't return your call, and if she does it is hours later or often the next day. At Sage Healthcare you have access directly to your personal physician 24 Hours a day, 7 days a week. No more waiting, no more frustration."
