Devinder Singh's Online Review Report Card

What a true gentleman. This man saved my life. In 2014 I became very ill. Dr’s not knowing what it was. I spent months in the hospital. Including ICU. A Dr on call referred me to the University of Maryland and Baltimore Maryland. There I became a patient of Dr. Singh. I was informed I had a severe hernia mesh infection that was literally affecting all of my other organs. This man along with another surgeon save my life. Most people don’t survive from something this serious. I had sepsis along with numerous numerous other issues. Dr Singh saw me once or twice a week. He never made me feel anything but important. Through the drains, infections and all the other issues he was incredible. I would recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Singh was more concerned about making a few dollars by upselling me on treatments I did not request than he was with my health and well being. I went to him for medically necessary breast reduction because he advertised himself as a “ breast specialist.” I was not getting a reduction for cosmetic reasons, I had years of back and neck pain and was starting to have hip issues due to my large breast’s. During my consult, he sold me on abdominal lipo under the premise that I would need less incisions and therefore have less scarring and faster healing time. The first couple of days were brutal and when I called two days after surgery to tell him the pain was intolerable, he told me it was “all part of the process” and that he’d see me in three days for my follow up visit. The following Monday, I could not even walk into his office and had to be pushed in a wheelchair. I had never had a surgery like this before and trusted that he was taking care of me, and that this was all “part of the process.” His assistant was more concerned with my condition than he was. He rushed to take my bandages off and take photos and then told my husband to take me to the ER. My blood pressure had dropped to 79/49 and I was incoherent, I couldn’t even hold my head up. My husband was floored by his lack of concern and told him he wasn’t going all the way back to the fourth floor parking garage to get the car and to call an ambulance or to help me. The ER was across the street and his assistant threw a blanket over me (I was unclothed) and rushed me to the ER in a wheelchair. My husband said it was as though Dr. Singh wanted me out if his office before I died on his watch. I ended up having DVTs in both legs and a pulmonary embolism. Not to mention, severely uneven nipples, (which is very noticeable even when fully clothed) uneven breast size, loss of sensation in one nipple, loss of pigmentation in both nipples, and terrible scarring even three years later. I am not a vain person by any means, and I joke to my husband that I look like the bride of Frankenstein. I feel ugly but thankfully I have a loving husband and that helps tremendously. I went back for another follow up and Dr. Singh offered to “fix” the mistakes but I would never put my life at risk again, and certainly not with him. The pain was intense for over a month afterwards. I couldn’t even stand up without using an electric chair, bathe or use the restroom without my husbands help for over a month. I couldn’t go upstairs to bed and had to sleep in the chair because I couldn’t get myself upright without intense pain. Dr. Singh was an uncaring surgeon who seemed more concerned with making money than he was with my life. While he may have performed well for others, he was completely uncaring, negligent and incompetent when it came to my surgery and recovery. I would never recommend him.

In hindsight, I feel as though Dr. Singh was more concerned about making a few dollars by upselling me on additional treatments than he was with my health and well being. I went to him for medically necessary breast reduction because he advertised himself as a “breast specialist.” I was not getting a reduction for cosmetic reasons, I had years of back and neck pain and was starting to have hip issues due to my large breasts. During my consult, he sold me on abdominal lipo under the premise that I would need less incisions and therefore have less scarring and faster healing time. I called two days after surgery to tell him the pain was intolerable, he told me it was “all part of the process” and that he’d see me in three days for my follow up visit. I couldn't drink or use the restroom without my husband's assistance, and my husband had to feed me just so I could take my medication. I had never had major surgery and trusted that my doctor was taking care of me and that this was all “part of the process.” Five days after surgery, I went to my follow up visit. I could not walk into Singh's office and had to be pushed in a wheelchair. When we arrived for my follow up, his assistant seemed more concerned with my poor condition than he was. He rushed to take my bandages off and take photos and then told my husband to take me to the ER. My blood pressure had dropped to dangerous level and I was incoherent and couldn’t even hold my head up. My husband was floored by his lack of concern/action and told him he wasn’t going all the way back to the fourth floor parking garage to get the car and to call an ambulance or to help me. The ER was across the street and his assistant threw a blanket over me (I was unclothed) and rushed me to the ER in a wheelchair. My husband said it was as though Dr. Singh wanted me out if his office before "I died on his watch." I ended up having DVTs in both legs and a pulmonary embolism. The pain was intense for months afterwards. For a month, I couldn’t even stand up without using an electric chair, bathe or use the restroom without my husbands help for over a month. I couldn’t go upstairs to bed and had to sleep in the chair because I couldn’t get myself upright without intense pain. After three years of healing, I now have severely uneven nipples, (which is very noticeable even when fully clothed) uneven breast size, loss of sensation in one nipple, loss of pigmentation in both nipples, and terrible scarring even three years later. I am not a vain person by any means, but I tell my husband that I look like the bride of Frankenstein. Thankfully I have a loving husband who loves me regardless and that helps me to cope. Dr. Singh was an uncaring surgeon who seemed more concerned with making money than he was with my life. While he may have performed well for others, he was completely uncaring, negligent and incompetent when it came to my surgery and recovery. I would never recommend him.

Dr. Singh has completed two surgeries for me - getting ready for my third. As a breast cancer survivor, he has been caring, concerned about my feelings, and does excellent work!

Ordering of tests and f/u on tests was chaotic.

Dr. Singh was very attentive, took time to explain options, and followed up with me several times. Staff left a bit to be desired, but Dr. Singh was great!

very bad experience. i regret i chose this doctor
