Midwest Orthopaedics at Rush, Dr Hern Singh

Very good doctor had surgery and dud great job. He actually listens to his patients. Megan is also great and very helpful. I would recommend him to anyone who needs spine surgery.

Today I had a most unfortunate experience at Midwest Orthopaedics when I went for my appointment with Dr. Hern Singh. First, I was instructed to arrive 30 minutes early for x-​rays. After driving an hour and having to pay ridiculous parking fees (by the hour), none were taken. I just sat there. Additionally, it was not until I got there that I was informed that Dr. Singh doesn’t take medicare patients and would only see me if I signed a contract stating that the charges for the visit couldn’t be billed to medicare. I would certainly have wanted to know this before I made the appointment, drove an hour and paid to park. Then, to add insult to injury, I was not even seen by the doctor! An intern did ask me questions and did a preliminary examination. He was followed by someone who claimed to be Dr. Singh“s ‘helper’. He did an even sparser exam and and said, «good-​bye».
People should know in advance that Dr Singh doesn’t accept medicare and doesn’t even bother to see his patients. Midwest Orthopaedics has lost a long-​time patient.
