Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Real Doctor
Like the previous reviews, Dr Singaram listened and you could tell he really listened. He has given answers, not just give more medicine at the problem and say good luck. I’m still have gastric problems, but getting better. His answer made sense. His staff was very nice and helpful. As title says, he is a Real Doctor.

This man has a heart of gold. Over the years I have dealt with terrible doctors and dealt with amazing doctors and doctor Singaram is definitely one of the amazing ones. The first day I met him he actually listened! He wanted to know who I was as a person not just my illness. The fact that I don’t feel like just a number or annoyance that he actually wanted to know about my family and I and is willing to think outside the box and if one thing doesn’t work look for another is so refreshing.

My mom had been to several doctors (Washington state and Phoenix) who could not figure out why she could not keep food down. Dr. Singaram assured her during the office visit that he would get to the bottom of it. The following Monday, he performed an EGD and found that she had a very easily treatable esophageal yeast infection that had been present for at least 6 months! Not sure why no one else could find that or think of that (an EGD was also done just 6 weeks prior in Phoenix) but thank God for Dr. Singaram! Will refer any GI issues to him.

The last scope my dad had, Dr S acted very odd. He wanted to see him back in 2 months rather than 2 weeks. THEN, Dr S canceled his return appointment on the day of and has never called back. We've left messages with his staff and get no response. Very sketchy.
