My late husband and myself had surgery performed by doctor Segal. The pain before the surgery was excrutiating. There was an amazing change immediately after the surgeries. The best thing in the world is to live pain free. Doctor Segal we thank you again for your kindness, excellent bed side manners, caring, compassion and to us doctor Segal wi[[ always be the very best neuro-surgeon in the entire U.S.A. God Bless You

I was so impressed by his through exam of my Hydrocephalis. After putting in a shunt, and new drain to abdomen. My Headaches and shaking hands are cured. I had to go to my other neurologist in Salt Lake City, to have setting on shunt opened up one setting. I am so good now. Just had a CScan and everything is great, no atrophy

Have had 2 cervical operations by Dr. Segal. 2 not because he didn't take care of the problem, but due to 2 auto accidents. He is a caring, excellent doctor. He is not one to "rush" into surgery, makes sure that surgery is needed before scheduling. His Staff is great. Professional, yet caring. Only Neurosurgeon I would recommend.

In 2008 Dr. Segal removed a benign cyst from my spine and inserted "hardware" in my spinal column. I went from daily agony, painful walking and sitting, to virtually no pain.Dr. Segal put me at ease from the beginning and I trusted him to treat me successfully, which he did. Within a few days after discharge from Sierra Vista,(where the nurses are awesome), I was back to walking a good distance devoid of pain and today I am back to daily running. I recommend Dr. Segal to everyone.
