Dr. Singh is pleasant, he does not rush and he explains things. His office staff is very nice and efficient. He took me last minute and kept my appointment time. I would highly recommend him.

I wish all my doctors office operated like this one. They respect appointment times. They go out of their way to check insurance benefits. This is the most professional office I go to, that I nvludes my visits into Manhattan. The medical care is superb.

Needed a very last minute appointment on a tight schedule when another eye doctor couldn't accommodate me. Dr. Singh was able to fit me in and provide me the same level of care as if I had booked an appointment in advanced. His staff is very efficient, professional and pleasant. The location of office is very convenient for drivers and commuters. Highly recommended!

I was referred by my doctor and have to say Dr Singh is really good. I have a condition that alot of other eye doctors missed but Dr Singh was able to find. Second opinion which he mentioned I should get with neuro ophthalmology.I have to say Dr Singh does command respect and rightfully so, he has limited time for unkept behavior. I recommend anyone with serious eye conditions to go to Dr Singh he is good and to the point.
