Dr. Singh and his team changed my life. I wanted to avoid surgery and took all of the usual steps to do so. When it came to pass that there was no way to avoid it any longer, I visited Dr. Singh. He was reassuring, thorough and patient while being very no-nonsense and straightforward. The surgery was extensive and executed flawlessly. I am walking without pain for the first time in two years and feel incredibly grateful for the work that they did. I have some strengthening to do, but overall, I couldn't be happier!

I met with Dr. singh and his Team. The first time I met with his Physician assistants as I didnt have an MRI. Megan was very helpful and informative. AFter i obtained my MRI Dr singh went over the findings and told me i did not need surgery or injections! I started Physical therapy last month and am feeling better. How many surgeons do you know that will evaluate you and not just offer you surgery? GO SEE DR. SINGH!

I am six months post cervical diskectomy and fusion and feel like a new woman thanks to Dr. Singh. After 9 years of shoulder, arm and hand pain, I am 95% pain free and slight pain occurs after exercise, but I can feel myself getting stronger. Dr Singh is an amazing surgeon, has a great personality and spends as much time as needed at appointments. And appointments have always been punctual! His staff is awesome and believe me you will be impressed.

Dr. Singh is an amazing doctor. I would highly recommend him and his staff. He got my active life style back on track! Everything that he said would happen did exactly as he described there were no surprises. I had surgery on a Friday and was completely off of pain medication in 2 days. He is great!

I cannot be more pleased with the care and professionalism from Dr. Singh and his staff. Absolutely tremendous experience. Best of all the results have been phenomenal from microdiscectomy at L4/5 and fusion at L5/S1. I highly recommend Dr. Singh and his staff.

Dr. Singh ended 12 years of painful sciatica with a minimally invasive surgery. Everyone at Rush, especially PA Chris McGee, was terrific. They gave me my life back. Highest Recommendation!

My back hasn’t felt this good in over eleven years. All my radiating leg pain is gone. Walking & standing is no longer a challenge of pain management & looking for a place to sit & recover. Dr. Singh was very professional throughout the entire process while putting a lot of my surgery anxieties to ease. For unknown reasons in 2004 my spondylolisthesis at L4,5 suddenly & dramatically advanced from just occasional lower back aches & stiffness to severe pain in my back with radiating pain down my left leg & occasionally right leg when slow walking or standing. Pre 2004, I’d get chiro adjustments for low back pain & for a while after 2004 until believing the adjustments for that specific area just made it worse. I began searching in 2004, at first, for alternatives to fusion. Later searching for alternatives to open back fusion. Open back fusion was suggested by every local orthopedic or neurosurgeon with whom I consulted. On occasion, there would be one that would want to do an anterior and posterior procedure. I had steroid shots in 2005 & 2012 with some pain relief but nothing lasting for long and no complete relief post injection. Had a nerve decompression done in 2010 on the left side with very positive results but as that side got better, the right leg pain became worse, still not being able to stand or walk slowly for longer than 10 minutes. In February 2014, I even tried radiofrequency neuro ablation with questionable to no results. Through my ongoing searches I had found Midwest Orthopedics at Rush in Chicago, Illinois. I submitted an online form with questions that Dr. Singh personally responded to. We proceeded to make a consultation appointment & from there set up the date for a minimally invasive lumbar fusion. Surgery was on Tuesday, September 30, 2014. I was at my son’s sports event by the next Tuesday, Oct. 7 & on the field with him for Senior night Oct. 9. Obviously not playing but physically present, standing & enjoying the moment. I returned to work by Oct. 22, while my medical leave had me approved through Nov. 10. I have been extremely pleased with my outcome to date

Dr. Kern Sing was knowledgable, polite, and showed a definite willingness to listen to our questions both before and after surgery. Too, he promptly responded to our remarks via email. We have already recommended him to others. Lucy M. Pirages
