Care Philosophy
This content was provided by Dr. Sachson "The medical specialty of Endocrinology focuses on endocrine and metabolic disorders. The endocrine system is composed of organs (glands) that produce hormones which regulate certain body functions. Metabolism consists of the biochemical processes in the body that cause the breaking down of some substances (e.g. food) and the building up of others (e.g., fat, muscle or bone)."

Very incompetent office staff. A lady or nurse called me to confirm my appointment and also stated that they didn’t receive my medical records from my eye doctor.

I would recommend Dr. Sachson very highly . He is professional and thorough in his explanation
of the diagnosis and treatment . I appreciate the time he takes to answer questions and to
demonstrate with visuals so as to ensure clarity. Also, he is personable, friendly, and easy to talk to.
