Dr. Sivalingam Kanagasegar, MD

This man should not even be called doctor let alone a specialist for RA. I saw him for over 4 yrs and he NEVER listened to my heart or lungs and never even put a hand on me to check joints. His staff leaves a lot to be desired. A receptionist gave me a shot once. She was in scrubs and when I ask what her job was next time I went in she said a receptionist. I don’t process enough bad words to describe the lack of empathy or compassion in his entire office staff. The office needs for HIPPA and inspectors to come in and clean house. Very unsafe practices going on in this office

He seemed very curious and knowledgeable with diagnosis immediately, and medication.on my first visit. I felt hopeful. Now I cry after each visit over him saying he is allergic to dogs,and questions my hygiene. Last visit he said I put him, his staff, and all other patients due to my little Yorkie.In harms way. The past few days I have been in the bed with almost a clinical depressive break down, but thankfully I am feeling stronger, but I deserve better care. Surely my doctor takes medication for his allergies. My little dog is older, and has a progressive collapsing trachea.That tells me how long she has. Besides my faith, my dear husband, this little angel of mine Bonnie helps me go on. I would not recommend this knowledgeable doctor due to his lack of a compassion for the whole person. My prayers for all.

He is always concerned for his patients.

Dr Segar has been an outstanding physician. He was able to diagnose what was wrong and worked with me (almost daily for a while) to adjust my medication while he was treating me. If there were 6 stars I’d give him 7! He has my highest recommendation!

It was great.. he listened and gave me the meds I needed as always.

Dr Segar has helped me so much with my fibromyalgia and arthritis. He is very nice and very helpful

Dr. Segar and all his staff have always been very caring and helpful to my family members who are patients at his office. Dr. Segar has always taken time for questions and shown concern. I highly recommend him. 5 stars.

This doctor is not very good at communicating, and seems to have a problem with discussing matters with women. He is hard to understand, and seems to get very annoyed when asked to slow down and repeat what he has said. I would not recommend this doctor, especially to women.

A great Doctor

Best doctor there is. He gave me a shot in shoulder and oh my gosh I feel so good this evening. Every time I have specific problems with my RA, he gets me on the mend. Hard job for him. I am so thankful for his staff also.

Dr. Segar is a terrific professional who gets to the point and is compassionate about the treatment you need.

Went to him twice. He never addressed the problem I went to him for. After showing him my problem To this days he has never referred me. Just keeps running tons of blood tests and prescribing a whole list of "lets try this medication". Not going back and I would never refer him. Besides he doesn't wash his hands after touching your body.

I have had the worst experiences with this Dr. Because of my insurance I've been forced into seeing him for years. He never listens to anything you have to say nor is he concerned. He is extremely dismissive and isn't willing to help with disability forms or fmla forms. I needed him to put down that I had RA for my work and he told me to get someone else to do it. He has the worst knowledge of this disease despite him supposedly specializing in it. It's been a very rough ten years.

Dr. Segar is the kindest and most caring Rheumatoid Dr. I have been to. I've been to several and no other Dr. compares. He listens and gets to the root of your problem. His office staff is just as kind.

I found Dr. Segar to be a very knowledgeable Doctor , and his staff to be excellent, very friendly and helpful. If you have just moved to Crossville and need to find a Rheumatologist, Dr. Segar is the doctor to see.

I was treated for PMR by Dr Segar for more than a year and was completely satisfied by his attention and results. My condition is back to normal. I would recommend him to a friend based on my experience. He and the staff were courteous, helpful and accommodating.

I have been seeing him for several years for my rheumatoid arthritis. He has been amazing in getting me on the proper medications while carefully watching my blood tests. Everyone in his office is totally professional, informative and very nice.

Not unusual to wait forty to sixty minutes for your scheduled appt. even if it is early in the day. Poor attention to hand washing between patients. Need to check what he writes in your patient record because it is not always accurate (medical history, allergies etc.) Have had to ask the RN to correct the notes after 2 requests to him with no result. Suggest looking elsewhere if possible.

seem him for over 5 yrs .wanted to get second option and made a appt with a new doc and when i went back for the next visit he said i see you made a appt with a different doc and told me he would not see me anymore .kinda felt like what was he afraid that another doc was going to told me or what was he hiding ..

Seems to be very knowledge ablle about fibro but to me doesn't seem to want to try things that I as a patient would like to try but hoping to get different result today
