2 /5 Paige Rivera: Dr. Singh is okay. She started out as a very informative doctor and I was excited to find someone I liked, however it didnt really last beyond my first appointment.
From the get-go my wait times were always over an hour, regardless of whether I got there early or not.
Her staff was very kind, especially the nurses who checked initial vitals. They remembered me, despite having been one of what I can only assume is hundreds of patients.
She seems to order a plethora of blood tests the first visit and I cant fault her for that (knowledge is power), I was a little confused when she said the results were inconclusive and then moved on as though nothing were abnormal. Id had several irregular results but they didnt fit within what she was looking for so she discarded them.
At that point it was just medication 24/7. She prescribed me a medication that I couldnt sleep on and then switched me to one where all I did was sleep. Then she tried to get me a name brand for $350 a month and then it was back to the first one at a lower dose. I used the medication for 3 months and was supposed to come in for an evaluation but my appointment got pushed back, though I was out of my meds. In the 2 weeks I waited, I had the worst, most incredible withdrawal symptoms. I wasnt aware that it would happen and when I called in a panic they made me feel like I was overreacting.
I went in for my evaluation and told Dr. Singh I wanted off the meds and she said no. I told her I wasnt asking permission and she said, "Fine" and switched me to a medication for RA, a disease I dont have. I never filled the new prescription, and went to my GP to get weaned off of the medication. It took 6 months and a lot of pain but Im off now. After hearing others talk about her pushing pills on them, I feel more justified.
Im not saying she isnt right for you, she just wasnt right for me.
