Nava Segall, MD, FAAP

We didn’t make it past the interview. We met her after hours at the clinic. She was late, but I’ll give her a star for the reason: treating a sick kid even though the office was closed.
As first timers, we were hoping she would take the lead, but no; lots of awkward silence. She asked she could let her bird out of its terrarium… sure, lady, it’s your office. Apparently, they regularly let the bird out after hours to hop/​fly around the lounge and kids’ play areas. Well, it bit my husband, and defecated down her back while on her shoulder. As we were leaving–
ME: We’re not going with her, right?
HUSBAND: Hell, no, there’s poop all over that place.

Dr. Segall is simply wonderful. I have never met a doctor for young or old who takes the time car and patience to explain her diagnosis, any risks and listens to any concerns! Our daughter went through the phase of being frightened of immunizations. Dr. Segall took time and patience and explained how the process would work, feel and comforted her during the «pain». From experience, most assistants do not even take this time, so for a doctor with a busy schedule! Wow. My daughter also enjoys the fact that she talks with the children and not «down to» and answers medical questions.

We love Dr. Segall. We’re so lucky to have found her for our kids. We’ve actually moved to the suburbs since we first started with her but we haven’t changed doctors yet because we love her. Its going to be hard to find someone like her in our new neighborhood.

My husband and I feel so lucky to have found a pediatrician like Dr. Segall for our toddler son. Her office is well appointed and spotlessly clean. We love her nurses, especially Jenny, who makes us feel like our son is the best and most cute baby ever! I’m sure she makes everyone feel that way. Dr. Segall is well-​versed and very accurate about her treatments for children. She takes her time with each patient and is readily available as needed. We feel very confident relying on her for our precious child’s health and growth. Along with easy street parking and a convenient North Center location, we couldn’t recommend Dr. Segall and her staff more!

My two sons (almost 7 and 5) have been seen by Dr. Segall from their birth. And I am really happy with her care. She is very meticulous and thorough without being an alarmist. In my experience with her, pretty much 100% of her diagnosis and prognosis were accurate. If the verdict is – a virus and needs to run its course — sure enough even the scariest looking rash disappears in a week or so. I also appreciate Dr. Segall’s conservatism with prescribing antibiotics. I feel that they were given only when medically necessary, and not for ‘calm the parent’ reasons. Dr. Segall is very personable and takes her time to address any questions I might have (I tent to ask a lot). She is warm with kids too. She does return phone calls during the off hours even at night. And we were accommodated many times on a very short notice when something came up making regular appointment not possible. Love Dr. Segall!

My wife and I are very pleased with Dr. Segal. Our 2yr old also seems to be comfortable with her. She is very professional at the same time very attentive to our baby. She does not rush you or give you short answers when asked a question. Definitely a doctor to take your kids.

We feel blessed that Dr Segall is pediatrician. She’s been seeing our twins since they were infants (they’re now almost eight) and we’ve never received anything but the best, most informed care. And when one of the twins was in the hospital, Dr Segall helped us immensely in understanding all the different viewpoints from specialists (which included her assistance at 2am in the morning.)

Dr Segall is thorough, considered, has excellent experience and appointments with her are on time and never feel rushed. After trying several paediatrians my wife and I feel that Dr Segall is by far the most professional, personable and attentive.
Highly recommend!

We have also been pleased with Dr. Segall. She is attentive during appointments and takes her time answering questions. I’ve only had to see another doctor once and it was because she was on vacation and insisted that if my little one not get better to bring her in. The best part about Dr. Segall… she actually returns phone calls in a timely manner!

Well what can I say, our 1 yr old son seems to visit Dr. Segall on a bi-​weekly basis… and apparently that’s «normal». If it’s not a common cold virus (which most often it seems to be), it’s an ear infection, if not an EI, it’s conjuntivitis, if not cjv, it’s a series of shots he needs to get, and if it’s none of the above, well it’s any number of «what the hell could that be» situations we run into. I suppose a «welcome to parenthood» comment is in order, but no one ever told me the insane amount of Doctor visits that comes along w. having a child.
In either case, and since it’s inherent to child rearing, i’m happy to say that Dr. Segall is great, a lovely lady who takes great care in her whole approach to infant and child health care. Dr. Segal is very conservative, which both me and the wife really like… ie, she always errs on the side of caution in almost any situation. Great Medical Assistants and Nurses as well and for the most part we are extremely satisfied.
