Dr. Sager was born and raised in Odessa, Texas where he attended high school at Odessa Permian High School, home of the original “Friday Night Lights”. He then attended Texas Tech University where he majored in Chemical Engineering prior to completing his medical school at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. He then completed his Orthopaedic Surgery residency at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and Parkland Hospital. Having been in Texas his entire life, he wanted to experience something different so he finished his training as the Emmanuel Kaplan Fellow in Hand and Upper Extremity Surgery at the prestigious New York University Hospital for Joint Diseases. After his training, he returned back to West Texas where worked in private practice in Abilene, Texas for 3 years.

While in Abilene, he and his wife, Cara, welcomed their first daughter, Emma Blair, to the world. While grateful for the opportunity to care for his native West Texans, Dr. Sager missed the comradery that teaching provided. Fortunately, an opportunity arose at the UTHSC – San Antonio and he  accepted a position on the faculty. While in San Antonio, they welcomed their second daughter, Summer Olivia.    He is excited to work with his Orthopedic and Hand Surgery Colleagues to provide the best care to San Antonio patients while also teaching some the techniques that helped him thrive in private practice. Dr. Sager provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plans for a wide array of hand and upper extremity conditions. His treatments include both operative and non-operative modalities for hand and upper extremity trauma, peripheral nerve issues, hand and wrist arthritis, tendon and ligamentous pathologies of the hand and wrist. His goal is to develop individualized treatment plans aimed at restoring function and mobility to the patients of San Antonio.
