I had a poor experience with Dr. Singla. She spent about three minutes with me total across two separate appointments. She didn't review my MRI with me and when the time came for me to receive injections in my spine for diagnostics/pain relief, I really didn't know what to expect and was hoping she would give a brief breakdown prior to the procedure. Nope!
I'm the kind of person who is able to relax more once I know what it is that the doctor is doing - she didn't tell me. I was put on the table on my stomach and she briefly mentioned "you'll feel a pinch" when she put in the first injection. Well, turns out that was just the first numbing injection and that I'd be getting one of those on each
side of the vertebrae before she injections deeper in. Two injections per vertebrae on each side, and that second one was deep every time, I could definitely feel it!
I really wish she had explained to me what she was doing because the pressure was uncomfortable, and it was actually painful which she only realized when I unintentionally kicked out my right leg in response. It was at that point that she said "Oh, you can feel that huh? We'll put you in twilight for the actual ablation". Yeah, thanks.
I never went back for the second procedure. The first one was about $2,000 out of pocket up front (FYI NO ONE CALLED TO LET ME KNOW - I LEARNED THIS ON THE DAY OF THE PROCEDURE AND HAD TO EITHER PAY OR LEAVE WITHOUT THE PROCEDURE)... at that price, I can't afford to go back for the ablation, even if I wanted to.
