Sarah E. Stapleton, MD

There is nobody smarter, kinder or more accessible than Dr. S. I have an autoimmune and have been sent to Mayo in Rochester and John Hopkins, still no diagnoses. I have seen rheumatologist, neurologists and natural path doctors, seeing one now outside Atlanta. It doesn't matter, Dr. S. is on my speed dial and will answer any question, any concern let me try and figure things out in other ways and I always know, she is by my side to scoop me back to make sure I'm not going too far off the deep end. She gets 100 plus stars in my book!

About 7 years ago, I lost my sister to glyoblastoma and I was to say the least scared. She and my Mother had also had breast cancer, so a friend recommended Dr. Stapleton. I went to her for a full physical and she set a plan to make me feel that was important to her and took the time to get me in the High Risk Breast program five years ago. I went from 80% chance to 40% with taking Tamoxifin and 5 years later my risk is 11%. What a relief plus she sent me to genetic counseling and they found I don't have the gene. Many other tests were done and i feel secure in knowing she has my best interest at heart!!!!

I am most grateful for so many reasons since you became my primary care physician following a traumatic emergency lifesaving surgery five years ago. Thankful for your ongoing excellent health care, your approach to inspiring wellness with care and concern for the whole person, for involving me in making decisions regarding my health, as well as your emphasis to enjoy continued emotional connection with people . I am blessed to have loving family and friends, also grateful for fulfillment of personal creative outlets , all of which provide me with a happy lifestyle! During the years following my first appointment with you, my focus has been directed not only on being well, but spending active time with family and friends, prevailing in the art field with continued art instruction, weekly painting sessions with friendship group and social time afterwards, completing workshops with accomplished artists, developing my art website, and remaining active in art guilds, exhibiting and working in a gallery. You have, indeed, motivated me to effect positive changes in going forward. You are the BEST doctor I’ve ever had. Thank you wholeheartedly for being my doctor and a friendly confidante!

I'm 75 years old, and I've lived in towns and cities of various sizes. Because of my profession, I've consistently selected physicians associated with medical universities. Thus, I've dealt with some excellent physicians. Yet, I've never had a physician who was outstanding in every part of his or her medical practice until I came to Dr. Stapleton. Her medical knowledge combined with her warm, caring personality make her truly exceptional. She has made exceptional referrals for me. I appreciate Dr. Stapleton and the MDVIP organization.
