- I booked with Professor as my last chance, I still had symptoms despite treatment via rheumatology and I suspected thyroid involvement. He was brilliant. He listened, didn't dismiss my concerns and trialled me on treatment which helped. He's the best money I've ever spent.
- Prof Singhal is an exceptional endocrinologist. He took time to listen to my issues regarding Hashimotos.I can honestly say that his expertise changed my life. He genuinely cares about you as his patient and I feel fortunate to have met him and his team. Highly recommend.
- I found Professor Singhal very sympathetic and helpful.
- I was told my appointment was cancelled and to come at 2pm. However l couldn’t make that appointment and DID NIT GET ANOTHER APPOINTMENT. I hope l’m not charged for this!!Not impressed.
- Such a lovely gentleman. Warm and friendly made me feel at last that I was not mad or a hypochondriac. Started his suggested treatment and already feel benefits. Highly recommend.
- Professor Singhal was very friendly and welcoming and he listened to me properly and offered very good advice and treatment.
- Excellent outcome for changing thyroid meds. A complete professional who understands that TSH, T3 and T4 scores don't always mean your body is converting Levothyroxine properly. Lovely demeanour, super kind, understanding and patient. I felt completely at ease with his advice.
- Great doctor, very easy to talk to and was very helpful. Highly recommend
