I felt like Dr. Singh wasn't was interested in talking with me and was rushing out. She asked me a question about when my pain started and her response was "oh, good". I thought that was a bit unsympathetic response to someone's pain. It felt like she wasn't present or paying attention to me or what I was saying. |

The treatment that I received was her diagnosing me but she told the other doctor what the diagnosis was she didn't tell me she just talked to him and see if I wasn't there my pain was never dressed and when I called back the same day to address my pain I was told someone will call me with an appointment for this week it is 4:23 p.m. That was 8:00 a.m. No one has called back |

First doctor I saw since my condition started that I felt like really cared and really wanted to figure out what's wrong. Though I still haven't a specified cause on what is causing my pain I feel I may be getting closer and I'm hopeful |

I really like Dr. Singh but she seems too busy to see her patients in a timely manner. She says follow up two weeks but no appointments for months. |

The assistant was from intervention therapy so a bit different procedure than what I received. However he was okay. Dr. Singh coached him along. I would refer Dr Singh only because she is competent. If you are looking for warm and fuzzy, she would not be a good choice. |

Dr. Seemed unprepared with knowledge of my trial history with oncology. |

At the end of our meeting, the doctor just said "have a nice day". She didn't ask if I had any questions or concerns. When I did try to ask a question, her response was "can't you ask a nurse to do this? I have three patients waiting on me ". |

Doctor was in rush as usual due to her workload! |

The student doctor cared more than the actual doctor and when I asked for a compound lidocaine or something else that may help she proceeded to tell me narcotics don't work for that. I didn't ask for narcotics. I didn't even mention narcotics. Not once! How does compound lidocaine equate to narcotics? She also proceeded to say a lot has been tried already. Yes, that's why we were there. She did not seem to care much. *IF* I go back I will most likely request a different doctor. Hopefully someone like the student doctor who had and showed some empathy, asked questions, and talked to us. |
