He was very professional and knowledgeable about his work. I appreciated that, especially because my diagnosis is not that common. He explained to me my situation in detail and I understood very clearly, even though a virtual visit.

Hi, my experience was outstanding. That might be slightly colored by the fact that he gave me good news, which is contradictory to what I'd been told in my previous three visits by other people, and he had proof. So this guy rocks. But I also want to say that you had one question saying if I'd ever discussed my medications with anyone in his office, I don't know the answer to that question. I don't know how big his office is. Do we mean just MGH neurology, anyone at Mass General Brigham? And I don't remember whether there were questions about that on my pre-visit and I mostly don't care. So I apologize if I gave a wrong answer on that. I don't know was not an option.

Dr. Aneesh is absolutely unbelievable. He is a great doctor. Only one other time I have experienced another doctor like him. The other doctor like him is Dr. [redacted]. These two doctors at the Mass General are unbelievable. They are the best. All the rest leave much to be desired. But Dr. Aneesh and Dr. [redacted] are unbelievable doctors. They know everything about your case. They're very concerned. They're very thoughtful. They're very thorough. They make sure you understand and they're very caring. I hope that you get more people like these two because they are great. God bless both of them. Thank you and that's it.

Dr. Singhal was amazing. I travelled from Texas to see him. He was knowledgeable, patient and kind in his approach. I appreciated that he made sure I understood what he had to say and by the time I landed back in Dallas I had a complete report on our visit. I've already shared his report with my doctors and they appreciated his timeliness. Not only is Dr. Singhal an expert in his field, he's an expert in patient care. I'm so thankful I was able to see him. Thank you.
