Dr. Zachary Kaufman Segal, MD

Warning: Zachary K. Segal MD should not be performing eye surgery. He is NOT competent. Unfortunately, we have first-hand knowledge of why he is not part of the professional organizations which track malpractice cases. He performed cataract surgery on my father and neglected to remove it properly. Dr. Segal had to perform a second surgery to “fish” out the remaining piece which he left by negligence. Upon removal of the eyepatch my father discovered he was not able to see from that eye. Dr. Segal diagnosed it as a retinal detachment which required a THIRD surgery to reattach the retina. This should never have happened.

Rude person-Acts as if he is GOD. For heavens sake do not see him If you are a patient or taking an elderly do not make the biggest blunder of your life.

I’m hoping this will save people from the heartache and loss we have suffered by the hands of these butchers who call themselves doctors. My father was a new patient of Dr Zachary Segal, he saw him for a routine injection for macular degeneration in his left eye. The same treatment my father has been getting for 20 years from other doctors without any issues. This place is a factory, patients wait hours before being seen. On my fathers visit Dr Segal ran in and did the injection as quick as he could and ran out. My father suffered with excruciating pain over the next few days and complained of blindness in that eye. Realising this was serious I rushed him into the doctors offices only to wait there for hours again (even in an emergency) and was seen by another doctor as Dr Segal was away, Dr Bacallao, examined my father and attempted to cover up the grim prognosis - I had to force the truth out of him. It turned out that Dr Segal had punctured the retina causing total retinal… detachment and the left inner eye had been bleeding profusely since the injection. We had rush to Bascom Palmer Eye Hospital Emergency room immediately that night! My father had emergency surgery but the sight in the left eye could not be saved. Dr Segal had butchered him beyond repair! My father is now completely blind in that eye. The operating surgeon said my father was the second emergency case that had come in from Dr Segal in just 7 days! Dr Segal who took an oath to ‘do no harm’ has completely destroyed my father’s life, and countless others from what I’ve unofficially heard from surgeons at Bascom Palmer. It’s been months now and my father has been in pain ever since, mentally and physically and his quality of life has deteriorated significantly. So please please DO NOT go to these people for your treatment. You do not ever want to be in our position. On a last note The Florida Medical Board is currently investigating this doctor and the practice.

My Mother who is 89 years old, and I, went to Doctor Segal's office and it felt as though we were being scammed like we were in a factory, and, or herded up like cattle so that they can go home after 1:00 pm on Friday. We came at 10:30 There were 50 to 100 people waiting and the line went down after waiting for three hours since the doctor only spends not even 5 minutes with you. After five minutes he walked out and left us there when we needed to find out how my Mother's Macular Degeneration is progressing. Dr. Segal claims to be a retna specialist and didn't want to be bothered with us. It felt as though we were being kicked out of the office and we didn't get a report about my Mother's condition and how it's progressing. We will look elsewhere for another place other than Medeye and Doctor Segal. What a scam, and doesn't care about the elderly!

This doctor is soooo rude and has no respect for the elderly much less than anyone else. Don't waste your time going to see this disrespectful medical moron who could care less about you especially if you are over 70. Hard to believe he is a retinal specialist who had no answers or medical answers and would not give us the time to answer our questions. He basically ignored us and walked out of the exam room. He must think he is really Important and we are of no consequence. Shame on you Zachary Segal.....You are totally heartless.

Dr Segal office staff was friendly and efficient. Dr Segal explained the procedure and what to expect. I was very happy with the Sugery and would not hesitate to use him again.

Dr. Segal was more thorough than I've experienced before with a complete explanation of understanding, answering all my questions, not rushing me, professional and a complete diagnosis with next steps.

This man is not only horrible at what he does. He has NO NO NO bedside manner. RUN

the commitment at their time, every thing is excellent, clean, and good staff attitude, Thank You.
