Raj Singh, MD

Dr. Singh has saved my husbands life twice. 7 years ago He was given 4 stents by dr. Singh. Just recently He had another one. Both times dr Singh impressed us as a man of integrity, compassion, kindness, humor, and expertise in his profession. He has our utmost trust in guiding my husbands heart health.

Dr. Raj Singh is THE FINEST physician with whom I have ever been associated as a patient. I give him my VERY HIGHEST recommendation.
* If you or a loved-​one needs the ABSOLUTE BEST in cardiological care, then I urge you ask your family physician for a referral to Dr. Singh.
Dr. Singh combines in his practice these outstanding characteristics:
1) He has the almost unique ability to put patients at-​ease under the most difficult of circumstances. His BedSide manner is unmatched.
2) He is technically excellent in BOTH the application of medical (pharmaceutical) and physical (primarily catheter-​based surgery) treatments against heart disease.
His post hospitalization care is also of the highest quality. He listens carefully to me as patient, thoroughly explains treatment options, and we arrive at a mutual plan of action to address any problem. He always recommends preventative measures, and he referred to a Cardiac ReHab program that was very helpful. He even PERSONALLY returns patient phone calls.
If first met Dr. Singh in the hospital emergency room when, as he put, I was in the «middle of heart». His overall competence and friendly demeanor immediately made me less anxious. Within about 15 minutes of my arrival at the hospital Dr. Singh had opened a 99% blocked coronary artery using balloon angioplasty and a stent. Due to Dr. Singh’s quick and effective treatment I suffered NO detectable heart muscle damage.
Unfortunately I developed blockages in other arteries which required two more angioplasty & stent procedures. But I was fortunate to have Dr. Singh perform all the procedures. During the most recent case, I felt very poorly on a Monday, his wonderful and helpful staff worked in an appointment with Dr. Singh that very Wednesday. At the end of the exam Dr. Singh had me admitted to the hospital, and scheduled an angiogram for the NEXT DAY. During the angiogram Dr. Singh found a major a major blockage in the most important of all the coronary arteries. He treated the blockage with a stent and I started to feel markedly better while STILL LYING on the Catheter operating Table. Dr. Singh released me from the hospital that FRIDAY; repair of a 90% blocked heart artery with only TWO NITES in the hospital. My recovery was flawless, and I feel MUCH better.
I would characterize Dr. Singh as a «flat nice guy» with OUTSTANDING technical skills, and complete professionalism. He’s the BEST!

Dr Singh has been our family cardiologist for over 20 years. I believe he greatly improved my mother’s quality of life, and that she had a longer life because of him. I have complete confidence in him, and trust him without question. For such an outstanding doctor, it baffles me that he’s always had below average office staff (NOT the PA), but the desk people. They are bad about returning calls, and worse about responding to refill requests from a pharmacy.

Dr Singh and his partners Dr Jay Johnson and Dr. Ochoa are simply wonderful. They are all very capable and very compassionate.

I would not recommend Dr. Singh at all. I saw him for a year and he was unable to make any improvement in my condition. He is not very personable or nice to patients. You would be smart to find a good cardiologist over the hill at Stanford or Palo Alto.

Dr. Singh is friendly and professional, but my husband and I both feel over the years we saw Dr. Singh we were unfortunately just rushed in and out of his exam rooms. After waiting for excruciatingly long periods of time in his waiting room, then an additional period of time in the exam room waiting for him, we spent no more than ten minutes each time with Dr. Singh. We’ve now both moved on to a new cardiologist who seems to have more time and attention to focus on our cardiac needs. (3.5 stars for Dr. Singh)
Dealing with the front office staff is a nightmare. Don’t be surprised to find yourself on hold for TEN minutes just to speak to a receptionist for a simple appointment– related issue. Sitting in the waiting room is quite an experience, as patients easily overhear conversations the receptionists have amongst themselves about non-​work-​related subjects. Those conversations would best be held elsewhere at some other time, to make the office atmosphere more patient-​friendly and maintain a basic level of professionalism. (1.5 stars for office staff)

On behalf of both my Mom and Dad who are patients of Dr. Singh, He is the BEST!!! They have each received the most kind and considerate care possible, and feel that he is an extra special physician and human being.

Dr. Singh is amazing! He takes the time to really research each individuals situation. He is so smart, very thorough. I am a nurse and he has been my Doctor for over 30 years. My coworkers think he’s the best too. He’s who most of the nurses I know want to go to. He has a very wonderful way of being soft spoken and empathetic. He does not SCARE you! He doesn’t judge you based on weight or how you have chosen to take care of yourself or not. But he will point you in the right direction as tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life. I highly recommend this wonderful, dedicated man.

This Doctor truly saved my life! He is a very dedicated and compassionate Professional.

Dr. Singh, in our opinion, is a ROCK STAR! He is a great physician with a remarkable sense of humor and a beautiful personality that makes it very enjoyable to have him as my husbands’s doctor following a Heart Attack, a stent, and then two more stents!
Robert, the Doctors assistant is a caring individual, attentive and very kind in all of his conversations with us. Dr. Singh does not procrastinate, if he feels there is a need for a procedure, ie, angiogram, etc, he goes right in. Insurance is called for approval within minutes, and Dominican Hospital is alerted. We would highly recommend Dr. Singh for any patient who is experiencing weird health issues that do not make logical sense. Dr. Singh gets to the root of the issue immediately, making you feel that YOU are his only patient. If you are 55 – 65 years old, experiencing light headedness, dizziness, ice cold feet or hands, you may have a clogged artery! See Dr. Singh before you end up in a life threatening situation. A simple angiogram takes 15 minutes in a Hospital environment and any clogged arteries are detected THEN, not later when you are having a heart attack commonly known as the «Widowmaker». My husband had his heart attack in an airplane at 35,000 feet above Mississippi on 9÷5÷2013, but this would not have happened if we had gone to see a cardiologist with his symptoms. It took over 3 hours from the time his heart attack started to the time he was on the operating table at Atlanta Medical Center, which is not good. You have a 45 minute window, after that the heart muscle begins to be damaged.
DO NOT depend on the STRESS TEST. My husband passed each and every stress test he was given just before his heart attack. Go see Dr. Singh!

was horrified when I was never contacted regarding my 17 year old son’s halter monitor read out. Dr. Singh said it would be the next day, it is over 10 days, UNACCEPTABLE…

I had a horrible experience with Dr Singh about 15 years ago. He reprogrammed my pacemaker without understanding my condition or what my pacemaker was programmed to do FOR ME. He did not understand my condition, nor did he make an effort to. The cardiologist I transferred to after seeing Dr Singh just retired and turned his patients over to this office. There is NO WAY I will stay there.
To acknowledge the people who have a good relationship with Dr. Singh, I’d say he could be just fine at dealing with simple cardiology situations. I would NOT trust him with implanted devices.

Dr Singh has been an amazing gift to us. He is kind and helpful and easy to communicate with. His professional and open way of working with my father has given me great faith in the medical community. Dr Singh has been willing to work with us and explain treatment and options clearly and with great depth. He has been very optimistic and direct in his approach to my dads treatment. Not only that he has given good direction in terms of diet and exercise as well as traditional medication. Kudos to Dr Singh!

Dr. Singh is one of the all-​around most brilliant and comprehensive physicians in the area. Many many cardiac patients owe their lives to his excellent care. I am sorry for the person who wrote the other Unilocal review– it is not at all like the doctor I know and trust.

I have seen him twice since being hospitalized with very high blood pressure. Both times I waited over an hour past my appointment time, with no apology or explanation for the wait. He did not remember seeing me in the hospital, and had none of my hospital records ready for my appointment. After not writing down my new prescription amounts in my records or notifying the pharmacy of the changes, I called his office to try and resolve the problem. Twice his staff failed to contact the pharmacy regarding the changes, leaving me without my prescription. When I finally got hold of him, he told me to find another doctor and «make his day». After this he once again prescribed me the incorrect dosage of Losartan.
This guy is a joke and should not be allowed to practice.

Horrible MD. Went with my dad to his apt, this ‘doctori’ didn’t even know what my dad was taking (he’s been on the same thing for 15 yrs!) and keep mixing him up with different patients. Singh has NEVER personally returned a phone call in all the time my dad has been a patient– so don’t expect and answer to any Question, except– «make an apt». I don’t know why he is always booked 3 months in advance?!
Finally, convinced my dad to seek the care he deserves elsewhere :)
