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.

-JWG in Dallas, TX | May 01, 2017
Grouchy and did not explain test results or address concerns well. My referring physician was disappointed as well with support regarding concerns and needs. I would most likely go see different doctors than at Dr. Sachson's office.

Dallas, TX | May 01, 2017
His customer service is aweful. He spoke to me like I was an idiot when he was answering questions. He seemed like he was rushing the appointment to get onto the next after he was already late to mine. After the appointment there was no contact from the front desk about a fallow up on the bloodwork that was drawn, just an email saying to call and make and appointment. One experience was enough for me.

Dallas, TX | May 01, 2017
My visit to Dr. Sachson's office was excellent. I was able to get an appointment quickly. The staff was courteous and pleasant. They accepted my insurance. Informed me about the results of my tests.

-Larry Rollow in Dallas, TX | Apr 30, 2017
First of all, Dr Sachson is a nice caring person. I am a relatively new patient and my former Endocrinologist, while a nice enough guy, just did not seem engaged wit me when he was treating me. Dr Sachson is not that way, I feel I am getting all of his attention when he is in the room with me. He explains things thoroughly and makes sure I understand it. I m happy I am now seeing Dr Sachson.

-Rhonda in Dallas, TX | Apr 30, 2017
Horrible. Had none of my tests from GP. Used outdated methods, said hair loss was due to age. Didn't even look at my pattern baldness. Total waste of time and money. Needs to retire

Dallas, TX | Apr 29, 2017
I am a grateful and happy patient of Dr. Richard Sachson for about 20 years. It is a privilege to be a patient of Dr. Sachson, who is a caring, nice and brilliant physician. His talented staff have strong medical knowledge and skills. Friends we have recommended say they were treated with respect and kindness. My personal experience regarding wait time is usually less than five minutes.
Dr. Sachson's staff love and respect him, which illustrates what a great guy to have as your physician.

Dallas, TX | Apr 25, 2017
Dr. Sachson is a great Dr. but to many times I had a long wait in the wait room when I showed up early for my appt. When trying to get prescriptions for my insulin pump supplies, I was held hostage until I made an appointment and saw the Diabetic Educator, poor customer service. I was a consistent every 3 month visitor, why hold me hostage like that? It had the feeling that they have forgotten that we are customers, not just patients. These are the reasons I decided to switch doctors.
55
-Janet in Dallas, TX | Apr 24, 2017
I have loved having Dr. Sachson as my endocrinologist. Every part of his practice is wonderful - EXCEPT for the long wait times in their waiting room.

Lafayette, LA | Apr 24, 2017
Tremendous knowledge and experienced professional. No nonsense approach and tells it like it is. Very fortunate to have connected with Dr. Sachson for my endocrine care.

Rockwall, TX | Apr 24, 2017
I first began seeing Dr. Sachson in 1976; we have grown up together! I came to Dr. Sachson after having pituitary surgery and radiation in San Francisco. Since I was settling in Dallas, Dr.Sachson was highly recommended to me, and he handles the greatest part of my condition; hypopituitarism. If I have a problem out of his area, he refers me to another physician. Dr. Sachson always spends enough time with me to discuss whatever is necessary.....a new condition, medication, whatever.

Irving, TX | Apr 24, 2017
Absolutely! I have already recommended Dr. Sachson to a couple of my buddies.

-Bob Glosser in Plano, TX | Apr 24, 2017
No question about it, Dr. Sachson and his staff have been just great in helping my wife and me in overcoming our osteoporosis.

-Betty Dortch in Frost, TX | Apr 24, 2017

Waxahachie, TX | Apr 23, 2017
I have been a patient of Dr. Sachson for more than 15 years. He is easy to talk with and always available if needed.
55
-Robert Scott in Keller, TX | Apr 22, 2017
I have been under Dr. Sachson's care for nearly 20 years. He was recommended to me by a friend and my research on his practice indicated he was one of the preeminent endocrinology doctors in Dallas which remains true today. I had been struggling with a lot of problems related to diabetes and other conditions. Dr. Sachson's first words to me were "let's get the diabetes under control then we can talk about the other conditions". From that point on my condition improved then stabilized.
55
Irving, TX | Apr 21, 2017
Dr. Sachson is extremely personable and makes you feel at ease immediately. He actively listens to your concerns and makes solid easy to follow recommendations.

I've been seeing Dr. Sachson since I was 11 years old. He's wonderful!!
55
-Johnny Isbell in Dallas, TX | Apr 18, 2017
Dr. Sachson is one of the best doctors I've ever had the pleasure of seeing. My health issue was difficult to diagnose due to my medications. He stuck with it, got me the help I needed, and succeeded in determining the underlying issue. Without his excellent care and considerable expertise, I might not be alive today. I'm very grateful for his ongoing medical care.

-John in San Antonio, TX | Apr 17, 2017
While I appreciate Dr. Sachson and his NPs attempt to help me over 2.5 years I finally had to move to another office; not because of the Dr's care but because of the pathetic quality of the back office. Multiple scheduling issues on their part, every Fax I sent failed to make it to my doctor or into my chart. Every refill request took a week or more to get through and in a couple emergent instances I was met with disdain and contempt IF i was actually able to get someone live. Disappointed.

-Ray Hyden in Gladewater, TX | Apr 17, 2017
Just wondered about side effects of medication prescribed by my Primary
and Dr. Schason came in and
immediately assured me that I needed
the med and they were watching out
for me with tests showing critical levels
important to my health and no bad effects were showing up from the med.
He explained he was slightly increasing
a different med based on test results.
He keeps you informed.

I have been a patient of Dr. Sachson for about 30 years. That should tell you how satisfied I am with his physician services for the treatment of my Diabetes. He is very attentive, asks questions during my visits, and is always willing to answer my questions and explain the science of the disease. I feel very comfortable with him as my Endocrinologist.

Dr. Sachson is a great physician with a wonderful bedside manner.
