Dr. Singer is one of the best surgeons I have met. He takes time with you and explains everything that he will be performing. When you go for surgery his bedside manner is what you want in a surgeon. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. It truly is the best here, I cannot express it enough. Everyone is just so wonderful there. Highly recommend!

I had a bad case of dequervains tendonitis in my right wrist and dr singer gave me a cortisone shot and made a removeable cast so I could remove it for showering it took almost nine months after following his recommendations of ice and a couple more shots every 3 months as he is very careful in giving out cortisone but he made my wrist as good as new and he didn't want to do surgery and he was right no surgery

I broke my scaphoid bone in 2009 and twisted the bone all up. Most doctors said i wouldn't have much mobility after recovery. Went to Dr Singer and he listened to me and went and examined the break thoroughly. He gave me a bunch of different options and we choose to do surgery. I am writing this because its been about 11 years now. Worked as a patternmaker using my hands and wrists every day for precision work. His work is great and lasted me 11 years. If you value your hands choose this doctor.
“Amazing Work and follow up years later.”
