About Dr. Segil

Clive Segil is an internationally renowned orthopedic surgeon with 30 years of experience in the management of musculoskeletal disorders – a healer not just a physician/surgeon, with creative approaches to patient problems. Dr. Segil sees the patient as a “whole person” not only a “disease,” and he places great emphasis on the mind-body connection, applying the concept of what is best for the patient. This means that he uses treatments that result in a cure, at best, and at very least, a marked improvement in their well-being.

Dr. Segil was educated and trained in South Africa. He is a fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh, Scotland. He is a pioneer in hip replacement surgery learning from the master, the late Sir John Charnley in England. He has lived and worked as a visiting professor in Canada, where he was a spine surgery expert. In the United Kingdom he worked as a general surgeon prior to becoming an orthopedic surgeon. He lived in Israel where he volunteered and worked at the Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem after the Six Day War and again when he was called upon to take over a military hospital near the Golan Heights. He has worked in China as a visiting professor to a variety of cities and in Japan where he developed a multi-specialty faculty for education of new Japanese physician graduates.

Dr. Segil is a fellow of the American College of Surgeons, International College of Surgeons, Western and Californian Orthopedic Associations, North American Spine Society and past chairman of the American Back Society Annual Conference.
