Shailendra Singh's Online Review Report Card

Was more interested in telling me what I didn't have rather than wanting to help with what I do have. Not going back.

i was happy we finally got a rheumy in my town! but after 2 wasted trips I will never go back, will do without one first! so rude and I did not think he knew much as he could not disagnose me with something I have had for years.

Dr. Singh was the only person who could finally diagnose my problem. He cares about his patients and wants to help them. He works hard to find to the correct diagnosis and then gets you the treatment you need. His staff is wonderful too. Being on the right treatment has made a world of difference for me. I would definitely recommend him!

Already diagnosed with lupus from another rheumatologist. I needed one closer to home to manage my treatment. He said I was fat and more than likely didn't have lupus. He did not want record and did bloodwork to "re diagnose" me if I had it. He also told me I dependent on steroids because I went to urgent care when I couldn't get into see my pcp 3 weeks prior due to breaking out in hives. He said that I didn't need any meds that would make me fatter. I have been losing weight due to gastro issues and he seemed happy that I had lost some Even thou it was highly unhealthy weight loss. He was definitely a waste of my time. My PCP was not happy with this either. Will be searching for a new doctor.

Came in for asthma attack was seen by doctor. He was short and informative. I recommend what would need and he listened thankfully. But then left me in the room with no orders for monorting my oxygen or heart rate. Even with my arrival rate was 130 super high for a young adult.

Worst doctor ever. If you have to be treated at one of the Memorial hospitals and end up with this doctor I am sorry and if there is anything you can do or say to get a different physician I would recommend doing it. We met Dr. Singh at Memorial North when my mom was admitted after having suffered a cardiac 'event' and symptoms of acute congestive heart failure. He didn't show for rounds. I have never been in the hospital or had a loved one in the hospital where doctors just didn't show up at all--but this guy didn't. I have never experienced a less interested, less effective doctor. During her 48 hour stay he was the on duty doctor and in no way did he do anything to treat her or to even seem interested--he was certainly not the type of doctor we felt was on top of things so we could feel confident in her care and that she was in good hands. He 'allowed' (the nurse's word/description) her nurse to give us the test results of her chemical stress test but then the nurse couldn't tell us if she was being diagnosed with congestive heart failure or what any of the results meant and was unable to answer any of our many questions about her heart. She was discharged with prescriptions for medications which were keeping fluid out of her lungs and away from her heart but there was a mix-up and 48 hours later we were still trying to get the medications. When a dear pharmacy employee from Walgreens was FINALLY (after HOURS of trying to get in touch with anyone at Memorial North or Dr. Singh's office) able to get him on the phone he denied having treated my mom or knowing who she was and admonished the pharmacist for calling him on his day off. I would call his behavior and 'treatment' of his patient as neglectful and really had he done anything for her I would possibly be even more worried. Thankfully we were able to get her into urgent care at her primary care physician where she received the attention she needed so she didn't end up back in the hospital again.

Update: His medical opinion..I did not have a condition that warranted concern. Following up with another doctor and her genuine concern for my health, I was tested and rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis were found. Testing verified this! How did he miss this? He did not follow through with the necessary sincerity on taking me, as a patient, seriously. I cancelled my appointment with him because I refuse to deal with a doctor who will not use the facts provided to help his "patients."

He feels that Fibromyalgia can't be treated with medicine and you can't have RA or any type of arthritis if your markers are negative. He doesn't listen and doesn't understand what you tell him. I personally feel like I wasted my time.

A rare combination of intellectual brilliance, who utilizes a sincere bedside manner which enables his intuitive diagnostic insights to combine with emotional empathy to create a healing energy synchronized and explained in terms both articulate and plain, Dr. Singh is the only doctor out of 17 who eased my pain by treating the source not symptom... a genius.

This Physician really saved my daughter's life. She was diagnosed with severe lymphoma in her neck vicinity. Throught 11 months of severe help from this doc she survived. Our whole family is thankful to him for life. We still stay in touch, and he is just like our daughter's angel. This experience changed our kids views on a proffesion as they ae heavily inclined to be a doctor now. One major thing that we liked about this Physician was his kindness and his immense knowledge in Medicine. I didn't think Medical Education was at all good in India until I met this doctor. I think this also proves to this country how developed some countries are in providing medical education. A lot of money is not needed for that. Also great is his ethics, which probably came from his indian background. Overall I can reccomend this Doctor to everyone. I am forever obliged to Dr. Singh.
