Dr. Shailendra Kumar Singh, MD

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.

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.

I didn't think such a great doctor lived in this world.
