“One of the best running podcasts in my opinion.”
Finished Ironman Santa Rosa, the other day with no foot issues! Thanks so much. Pain was gone as if nothing happened 2 weeks after our appt. Could a cuboid stress reaction/peroneal tenosynovitis heal that fast? Thanks again!
Thank you Dr. Segler for going above and beyond what I expected, and for making me feel “normal” again! I am really grateful. I live in Ireland and arranged a Skype video call with Dr. Segler. I didn’t know what to expect with a video call, but it worked out really well. I suffered from pain under the head of my 5th metatarsal of my left foot having done a lot of cycling and running in recent years. He quickly got to the bottom of the issue, and thoroughly explained each technical area with clear drawings and demonstrations of the skeletal foot model. Being an athlete himself it was reassuring that he understood my desire to get back out and training again.
We was unbelievably professional, thorough, and so easy to talk with. Instead of immediately prescribing expensive orthotics and surgery like other professionals I had spoken to, he gave me simple step by step solutions to overcome my problem. I could not speak highly enough of Dr. Segler and my experience with him. Thank you.
I had been suffering from a foot injury for 18 months with no clear diagnosis or plan forward. I had also seen some of the “best” doctors in Boston, who didn’t seem to have more than 20 minutes to talk to me about my issue. I began to research specialists and came across Dr. Segler. After reading about his unique approach and experience as a competitive athlete, I knew this was the man to see. Because I had a trip booked to the Bay Area, I was lucky enough to be assessed in person. Dr. Segler took the time to walk through my entire history and explained what the MRI revealed (this had never been done by my other doctors) Dr. Segler spent well over an hour explaining the injury itself and the complications that I was experiencing. For the first time, I thoroughly understood what was happening with my foot and a plan forward. Most importantly, Dr. Segler understood that, as an athlete, “just staying off it” was not an option for me.
Dr Segler is compassionate, intelligent and invests time and energy in his patients. Why can’t all medicine be this way? Maybe it can.
I live overseas and was basically went looking for the best person I could find that would do remote Skype appointments. I think we are just starting to get into the era of doctor visits via the internet. We are so used to going to our local doctor and then maybe getting referred to the ‘best doctor in the region.’ With Skype we now have the ability to find the ‘best doctors in the world.’ Look no further.
So different from any doctor I’ve ever worked with. I called his number and he actually picked up the phone himself. Was able to very accurately assess what my current problems were from an MRI I sent him. Very patient and helpful going through all the minutia of my problem; specifically what got me into this problem and how I can get out of it. I am s used to spending 20 minutes with a doctor that are just to get to the next patient, that spending over an hour and a half with Dr. Segler felt great.
I’ve been living with PTTD for about a year and felt like I was running out of options. There is no magic bullet, but it was so nice to hear concisely what all of my options are. He is the 4th doctor I’ve seen for this problem and by far the most thorough and well versed. His drawings and models of the foot went a long way for me to wrap my head around the problem.
Lastly the cost is very reasonable. I’ve easily paid twice as much for a small fraction of the information that I received. If I have one regret, it’s that I didn’t find him a year ago.
