Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excelente OBGYN if it wasn’t for him I would have lost my baby girl to incompetent cervix, and when my daughter was born he made quick reaction to horrible situation and saved my baby. I also had two surgeries done by him with minimal bleeding or pain post surgery. Thank you so much Dr. Segal for all you do. I wouldn’t change him on less absolutely necessary.

Very poor bedside manner and attitude. Talks to you in a way that can make you question your own intelligence. Insults with a smile and makes it seem okay. Most women cringe at the mention of this mans name and most of the time you can mention his attitude without his name and patients, nurses and other physicians not even in the practice will know exactly who you’re talking about.

His bedside manner is poor. He talks down to you like he is the only intelligent human in the room. Do yourself a favor and find a different doctor

Dr.Segal has been my doctor for a little over 16 years. He was the doctor going through the pregnancy where I was giving the baby up for adoption. He was wonderful and caring, not only to me, but the adoptive parents as well. I stuck with him ever since. He always wants to help, and make sure you are at ease and comfortable. He has always answered any question, and offered solutions. I have always felt listened to, and never rushed.

RUUUUUDDDDDEEEE!!!! I do not like this man one bit. I was having cramping and so I called and he told me to come in. I explained I felt like it was just Braxton hicks but regardless he wanted me to come in. After seeing him. I would rather refuse the medical care than receive it. The attitude is just woah. Extremely unprofessional.

Very efficient office staff. Have been a patient for over 8 years. I am able to make appointments on short notice and get in and out in and acceptable time frame. Dr. Segal never seems rushed to get to the next apt and takes his time to explain all options and answer questions.

The doctor is great but his staff at Durchmas lane are awful! They are the worst, unorganized staff that I have ever dealt with! They take forever to previews things and give your the run around for everything! He need to do something about it because they are dragging him down!
