What Our Patients Say
- Regina F.
Let me start off by saying that "I do not like dentists due to many, not so amazing experiences" with other dentists. I honestly can say that I love everyone and everything about Sage Family Dentistry. Dr. Sage thank you for creating such a nurturing, caring, fun environment to visit. Every visit has been nothing less than superb!! Your professional expertise and advice has been spot on each and every treatment. I have never had a dentist call me the day after an appointment asking me how I'm doing! Thank you for the past 4 years of service and I look forward to many more.... I highly recommend this Dr. Sage and his staff for any dental services you may need!

I have received my dental care from Sage Family Dentistry since their beginning. I would judge them 5 Star then and those 5 Stars shine even brighter today. I have complete assurance in Dr. Sage’s work and his dental staff is only topmost caliber. The office staff is friendly, accepting, and accommodating with all the scheduling and paperwork...Thanks! I am particularly thankful for the love and care that my wife received while she was in her time of special need. I feel that I’m, at least, a small part of the Sage Family Dentistry extended family, and you can be too!
4/01/2019Liz S.I have been a patient of Dr. Sage for several years, and for the first time in my life, a trip to the dentist is without hesitation or trepidation. Dr. Sage is highly skilled, an excellent communicator and genuinely concerned about the patient experience and outcome. I have had many compliments on his work. His clinic is immaculate, with up-to-date technology and safety measures in place so I feel comfortable under his care.
9/06/2021Steve V.I always have a wonderful time at Sage Family Dentistry. All of the staff are friendly and sociable, besides being highly skilled. And Dr Sage is insightful and masterful. Thankyou!

Dr. Sage and his team have been awesome to me! They are always friendly and personable. For someone who isn’t always comfortable in the dentist chair, my experience there has been the opposite! They work their schedule to fit me in for emergency filling repair right after a regular scheduled cleaning with no issues :) having gone through many dentist before Dr. Sage, I’m happy to say, that besides the initial tiny poke of the needle I have felt zero pain during his procedures, and they are quite timely. For anyone nervous in the dentist chair this is very important. I would recommend them to anyone!
6/08/2021Brent N.Seriously, this is the dentist for you. He does his best to calm dentist phobia including giving me NO2. The office and staff are very nice and extremely clean. That was a bit of an issue for me with my past dentist. I just had a crown put in and it went so smoothly compared to the one I had done before.
10/29/2013Robyn G.I just love Sage Family Dentistry. Dr. Sage is well trained and highly competent. He provides a good deal of hands on and up to date care and treatment. During your first months of care he does a complete assessment and personalized plan for your future care. The staff are s friendly and compassionate. All of them are good listeners and put your needs first. I highly recommend this dental practice.

2/17/2022anna n.I worked in the dental profession for 17 years and I highly recommend Dr. Sage and his staff. They are friendly, helpful and efficient and Dr. Sage does beautiful dentistry! Honestly some of the best work I’ve seen, period.
4/30/2021Sean M.If great customer service, coupled with exceptional care is important to you, then this is the place to go. I was referred to Sage Family Dentistry about a year and a half ago and have had a fair amount of work done since I becoming a patient. Every team-member is exceptional at what they do. Rachel at the front is super friendly, easy to talk to, and does a great job at answering all my questions. The Dental Hygienist's are all so knowledgable, affable and considerate to your comfort while in the chair. And of course, there is Dr. Sage. No offense to all the incredible Dentists in Seattle but I just can't image anyone being better than him. Thanks Doc! As for Covid considerations -- lets just say that I've never been concerned about exposure. Their protocols are strong because they take the health and safety of you, as well as their Team, very seriously. Highly recommend Sage Family Dentistry!
5/03/2021 - Sarah M.
I came to Dr. Sage as a self-proclaimed Dentist hater. But let me tell you, Dr. Sage is top notch! He's smart, funny, understanding, and he not money-hungry like previous dentist of mine. He truly does what's best for his patients. Not only is Dr. Sage awesome but his staff are friendly and approachable. Erika is the best ever. She always makes me smile and she's accommodating and explains things so well. Marcy is also so kind and remembers everything! The techs are great too- not too pokey.

Overall a 6/5 experience at Dr. Sage's office.Lori F.Wonderful people, expert and compassionate care. Who could ask for more? And my teeth are once again beautiful!
7/24/2019vivian s.Dr. Sage is a very skilled dentist. He is excellent at diagnosing problems and resolving dental issues and does so in the least invasive manner possible. I had a problem with one of my molars and had visited a dentist in Atlanta because I live there part of the time. That dentist said the only way to resolve the problem was to pull the tooth and have an implant installed. I decided to get a second opinion from DR Sage when I got back to Seattle. His recommendation was to save the tooth. He put a new crown on saving me thousands of dollars and I have lived happily every since.

Dr. Sage also has a great chair side manner and has assembled an excellent team to assist him. They are all talented, professional and personable. I actually like going to the dentist!

Dr. Sage and his staff are hands down the best dentisrty team in Seattle, my teeth were neglected for a decade and within one year my dental health has turned from a shit show to getting compliments on how good my teeth look. Anya,and Ann are such competent, caring technicians and so fast in assisting Dr. Sage it is like they have a psychic link. That means less time in the chair, which we all can appriciate. But above all everyone in his office cares, and they will make a plan for you to make sure from top to bottom your oral health is taken care of, they will start with the most problematic quadrant of your mouth and work each one until your mouth is compleatly healthy. I've been to dentists that don't care about me or my health and just a paycheck. It's alway a horrable experience, If you are dealing with that kind of dentist, please tell them to f# off and go to Dr. Sage. Plus the front desk is occupied by Zetta, one of my favorite people in the world, she is one of the sweetest, kindest people on earth. She has made the insurance battle that we all have had something that I don't even have to think about, if you want the best dentist team in Seattle, well... you just found it.

We had cleanings, crowns, fillings, implants, you name it. All of it was done well and we've had no further problems. Dr. Sage is a professional, and the best dentist I've had. If you're afraid of dentists but need to see one anyway, pick this one.
