He may be a good doctor but his staff ( answers phone) is terrible. Asked for a call back . No call back! It’s now 3 days!. Changing my provider. This is unacceptable for a medical office

While his team is great, I find myself consistently underwhelmed by Dr. Singer. It is IMPOSSIBLE to get Dr. Singer to do refills for even basic maintenance medications. He also often seems distracted and somewhat "judgey." I'll be looking elsewhere moving forward.

Dr. Singer is an outstanding, BRILLIANT experienced physician with the rare combo of both knowledge breadth and expertise depth. He keeps extraordinarily up-to-date and has an excellent, caring “bedside” manner plus a fun sense of humor. He listens exceptionally well and explains issues understandably & in appropriate detail. He is kindly respectful of my preferences, concerns and fears. I 100% trust his care and dedication to the primum non nocere oath. His staff are also fantastic, caring, bright, kind, upbeat and helpful - Ashley, Bibi, Michelle, Patricia & Yuleny (

Dr. Singer is a very intelligent doctor. He looks out of the box and goes beyond what majority doctors do in order to get you a diagnosis and proper treatment. His office is busy but he is truly is a good man who cares about the health of society.
