I found Dr Singh very gentle and kind. He didnt talk down to me, and he made me feel as though I was important. He sat down, was unrushed, even though his office was full and he had a meeting he was going to. He took the time to explain all details of the surgery,the preop plan and postop recovery.
He recommended that I see the nutrition Dr and gave me 2 choices, explaining that the surgery would be done when I was ready, and that couldnt be given a date or specific # of lbs. but that even if I lost no weight, that would be ok, although if I lost some it would be better. He also explained that I would not be able to have the laporascopic surgery due to past abdominal surgery.
6-20-00 My first impression of Dr. Singh was that he was very nice. He seemed genuinely concerned that I know exactly what I was getting myself into. There was a mix up with my nutritional consult (see comments on my profile page) and it was very upsetting. I'm trying not to let that color my perspective.<p>
My husband was with me, and he said he felt Dr. Singh was very compassionate and cautious.<p>
Albany Medical Center (the hospital) and Dr. Singh have a very structured pre-op and post-op program. You MUST lose 10% of your weight before they will operate. "To separate the sheeps from the goats" the exact quote from the nutrition doctor. I guess they want to see how badly you want this. You also need to attend at least one of their support groups pre-op, and speak with at least 3 post-op patients of theirs.<p>
Overall, Dr. Singh - very good Program itself - very good Nutrition Doctor - OK, could be more compassionate.<p>
7-28-00 I am now post-op, I can say that Dr. Singh is a very kind, compassionate man. He is an excellent surgeon, and I was very happy with my care.
I've only met Dr. Paul Singh once at his office in Albany Medical Center in NY. He seems like a great guy, telling me the good and the bad and giving me plenty of time to ask questions. My only complaint is that when I made the appointment, his office staff should have told me that I need to see the hospital nutritionist first. It took months to see him and then another two months to see the nutritionist!
