Biography
I am an orthopedic surgeon specializing in spinal treatments at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I regularly treat conditions such as chronic back pain, osteoarthritis, spinal cord compression, and other spinal diseases.
My extensive training in orthopedic and neurosurgical spine care prepared me to handle any spine disorder. I have the skill to perform everything from simple procedures and minimally- invasive surgeries, as well as more complex revision spine surgeries.
I have a special interest in spine and back deformities. My primary research is focused on treatment options that will improve outcomes for patients with various degenerative and traumatic spine conditions.
My patients can rely on me to deliver compassionate, individualized care that is tailored to their specific needs, and I treat all of my patients as I would my own family. It’s a privilege to see my patients experience joy and happiness again after their spinal ailments have been relieved. Seeing their quality of life improve fuels my passion and is a reminder of why I love being a doctor and a spine surgeon.
When I’m not working, I enjoy spending quality time with my family. I also like to travel whenever I’m able.

Consulting and related relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.

Gave recommendation and referral to another doctor for an unrelated pain issue
I love this doctor! He is smart, has a great reputation and recently performed surgery for a relative that helped them so much. I really trust him with my care.
All good!
Dr. Singh was thorough and detailed in what the procedure would entail. After I returned, I received a radiology report from the X-rays ordered which indicated a condition I didn't know I had. I would have appreciated a follow up to that.
Amazing, blessed to be his patient
Absolutely excellent
Very thorough exam. He is very efficient and helpful
He is a very good doctor and really seems to care about helping you with your health.
He was winderful
Dr Singh is the best.. Knowledgeable and very caring listens well
He was in a hurry, kinda rude, & did not provide me any medication for pain or injury.
Very thorough & knowledgeable
He was only looking for surgery and I wasn't a candidate, therefore he didn't listen to my concerns. He studied films from 2 years ago to base his decision on my problem and told me I was depressed and needed a phycologist
I felt like he didn't listen to my concerns about my hip, and just wanted to talk about my hip. He told me there was a very small chance my foot would never recover. Just had no empathy for anything I said. He made me feel like I was lying to him, just seemed very judgmental. I will not be seeing this doctor again. I will take my health care to a different provider. I understand doctors are busy people, but a little bedside etiquette is required.
Very professional
Everything was good Everything was good
Very professional and well experience
Really did nothing to treat obvious current condition. Left to manage pain without any assistance from provider. Follow up MRI and visit are so far ahead, with no plan to treat pain.
Very compassionate
Excellent
