    Dr. Singh is an excellent care provider. I have complete trust in her and I really enjoy how comfortable and valued she makes me feel as a patient. I also appreciate the concern of all other physicians working with her.

    Both genetic counselor and physician were excellent and provided me with outstanding care. Having genetic disorder isn't easy and I found the care supportive and helpful. They showed genuine concern for me as person rather than just patient to be treated. Often in healthcare there is only time to treat symptoms but thankfully this center is all about prevention and helping us to stay healthy.

    She was so well prepared and had great insight on my issue including not just good treatment options but also steps I could take to help with a better outcome.

    I spent most of the appointment time with a resident/student. The doctor pretty much just told me what they decided.

    I needed more specific information about my personal follow up to try to alleviate symptoms and I also needed more information about follow-up appointments.

    Only problem was a confusion initially about which medication to prescribe but this was resolved fairly easily.

    Thank you for making me feel cared for. I felt such relief when you said "Now that you're with me I'll take care of you."
