Dr. Charmin Sagert, MD

Refused referral from one of my providers to to see me for assessment of the same genetic related neurological conditions she saw my father for years (I was his caregiver and went on his appointments). Her office told me she refused the referral I need- I should go to OHSU specialist instead (who??) but Dr. Sagert NEVER EVER recommended that same referral to OHSU for my dad while he was alive and struggling (died less than a year ago). So Dr. Sagert collected all the money for treating my dad without giving him the best help and now she refuses to help me, I've been off work on short term disability and need to go on long term Also bad, she/her office did not let me know she refused the referral, I had to call up to see why I still hadn't heard about my referral to Dr. Sagert, when was my appointment? If she/her office had let me know I could have at least been looking for someone who actually believes in the Hippocratic oath and who I can get in on time for disability deadline.

After a referral, my primary care physician told me to wait a week to receive a call to setup an appointment with Dr. Sagert. I received no response, so I called Dr. Sagert's office. I was told to expect at least 2 weeks after referral before I even get a chance to make an appointment. Over 3 weeks later I get a call and I'm offered an appointment more than 4 weeks later. They could have told me this when I called the first time, at which point I would have tried another clinic in another city. Very unprofessional office procedure. I have no idea how good Dr. Sagert is - I never got to see her. I suggest people try elsewhere first. If I had an ailment I could put on hold, this would be no big deal. As it was, I was out of work suffering from chronic pain for which my PCP had already tried everything he could. Dr. Sagert's office didn't seem to care. They just want to keep the appointment book full.

She kept me and my family waiting almost an hour, then she didn't have the information promised. She called the next day to tell me there were cancer cells in my spinal fluid, over the telephone, and that she wouldn't be seeing me again. Rude, crude and unprofessional.
