"I would like to thank Dr Singh and his Staff for excellent care and services. As I completed my
registration, I was immediately seen by Dr. Singh. He discussed the whole treatment plan without
any hurry. I would surely recommend Dr Singh to friends."

"I want to express my deepest appreciation to Dr. Singh
for all that he has done for me.
Dr. Singh came highly recommended to me, as I was
looking for a urologist to handle my case. When I came to Dr. Singh, he was the most professional and courteous
doctor that
I had ever come across. He took the time to explain to me what he was thinking, what the process was that he recommended we
step though, and he took the time to listen to my questions and provide courteous and clear responses.
Dr. Singh has always
made himself available to me to talk and work through any issues or questions that arose.
Ultimately, when surgery became necessary Dr. Singh
was at my bedside to re-assure me, and his caring demeanor was gratifying. As I continue to recover, I am comforted by the fact
that I know I have a doctor
that talks to me, keeps me informed, and cares about my well being. I am thrilled that I selected
him as my doctor, and will recommend him
to everyone and anyone that needs this type of medical treatment.
He is absolutely the best."

Dear Dr. Singh,
"When I thanked you for my surgery
and results you replied "that's what I do". In my opinion, based on my experience and research,
you are probably the best in your field. My great fortune was being able to meet up with you! I could elaborate on all the elements that
make one superior in their endeavors, but that's all encompassed in best. I wish you a long and energetic life, that you can help a
great many and derive a great satisfaction from that."

Dr Singh,
"When my family physician recommended further testing of my prostate
and gave me the name of two Urologists I feel blessed that I
was guided to make the choice to come and see you. I found myself to be uncharacteristically at ease when consulting with you about my
problem and you gave me a feeling of "we're gonna beat this thing" right from the beginning. After the biopsy showed cancer, you
recommended that I undergo a radical prostectomy using the DeVinci Robotic System.
Being a person that has never been admitted to
a hospital in my life, I was, to say the least, scared. Although scared, I also felt somewhat at ease because I felt I had chosen this
areas best Urological Surgeon. Now, almost 5 months after my
surgery, I am totally convinced I selected the absolute best surgeon.
You made me and my wife feel that you truly cared and that, together, we were going to beat this thing. About the surgery itself, the worst
part was undoubtedly having to wear a catheter for one week. Not so much that it's painful, just quite uncomfortable. I spent one night
in the hospital and was home 30 hours after the surgery. Each day I experienced significant improvement from the previous day and once
the catheter was removed I didn't experience any significant discomfort. I have complete urinary control and my ED is a nonissue with
the help of ED medication. I just had my first PSA since the surgery, and when you came in the office and said "what are you doing here,
your PSA is "0" and it's raining outside, go home", my wife and I both felt nothing short of elation. To you I would just like to say
once again, "Thank you for doing what you do". You are a magnificent surgeon. And to those who may be considering going through a similar
procedure I would just like to say "God has blessed you by sending you to Dr Inderjit Singh.
Rest assured you are in the hands of the best!"

Dear Doctor I Singh
"In May of 2008 I underwent a DaVinci Prostatectomy
and wish to share my experience with you. After having been diagnosed of prostate cancer
, I did considerable research and consultation and opted to have the surgery performed by
Dr Inderjit Singh Urologist of
Virginia.
Since my initial interview with him, I felt that I was in good hands. He spent a long time with me and my wife explaining
the various options available to me, describing each one in considerable detail. He inspires confidence, one feels that he will take
care of your condition. The surgery, which I feared, was not at all what I imagined. In fact, I was home after two nights at Hospital.
I felt no great discomfort or pain; in fact I refused pain killers after the first night. It's been several months since then I have
resumed all my activities, including carrying my clubs on my back and walking 18 holes, which I started after only four weeks after
the operation. Good luck with yours!"

Dear Dr. Singh and Staff,
"It has now been 10 weeks since my prostrate surgery
and I couldn’t be happier to know I am cancer free. I have regained most of my
erectile functions
and would put my recovery at about 95% after a short ten weeks. I was up and feeling well just 60 hours after the operation.
The catheter was in place for 7 days but once it was removed I felt great except for my incontinence which to this day is the last area of
concern. I have monitored my recovery using Monday’s as my reference day. The first week I wore pads that needed to be changed about every
90 minutes. Today I wear the pad for precautionary reasons and it lasts the entire day. To this day I have a tendency to drip once in awhile
when I sneeze or cough but I suspect another week from now I'm 100%. I was back to work 14 days after the surgery but I took it easy. I am
proud to say I played 18 holes of golf 21 days after the surgery but again took it easy not to strain anything. I'm now able to travel and
do anything without worry. The fear of having a surgery of this magnitude was minimized when I talked to others who have gone through this
surgery. I was directed to use the De Vinci method for the procedure which led me to
Dr. Inderjit Singh is an
expert in this field and I
couldn't be happier about the outcome and those he surrounds himself with at the office. I hope Dr. Singh shares this information with any
patient that might be worried or has concerns. If anyone would like additional information or someone to talk with before making a decision
of this magnitude I please don't hesitate to ask. I would love to talk with anyone who needs to know what to expect from this
surgery. In
the end, I look forward to living a long healthy life and helping others that carry the fear of cancer with them."

"I spent a lot of time investigating the myriad of possibilities for treating
prostate cancer.
The robotic laparoscopic procedure looked
to offer not only the best possibility of eliminating the cancer, but also, given post operative pathological analysis and PSA tests, could
offer more definitive evidence that the mission was accomplished. The possibility of long term side effects from the surgery was a concern
but paled in comparison to having a high probability of totally eliminating the cancer and having a "cure". The key question for me was:
how do I find a great surgeon to do the job? Fortunately I was introduced to
Dr. Singh. His reputation, considerable experience
and success at the leading edge of prostate surgery, along with his straight forward confident demeanor, convinced me he was the one
for the job. Dr. Singh went through the
treatment options
with me and confirmed my feeling that the da Vinci laparoscopic procedure
was the best choice for my case. He made a statement something like: "Have the surgery, get this behind you, and get on with your life". The primary objective is to get rid of
the cancer, this is the best way to do it, and any post surgery side effects can be dealt with. I had surgery and it was extremely successful.
The cancer was confined to the prostate, the pathology report showed negative surgical margins, and my 3 month follow up PSA reading was "zero".
Discomfort from surgery was minimal and only lasted a couple of days. I started taking long walks and chipping golf balls within a week, and was
lifting weights, golfing and running again within 6 weeks of surgery."

"Thank you very much for the support you gave me during my recent surgery. Receiving a diagnosis of prostate cancer is not
an enjoyable experience and has had a very strong impact upon my life; however working with a surgeon
who is respectful, thoughtful
and extremely competent has helped me to get through the process. After my initial diagnosis I was in a state of shock/denial but after this
brief period I decided to get as much data as I could about my prognosis and options for removal of the cancer. I discussed my prognosis,
stage of cancer and options with no less than 6 different doctors including my general practitioner, other local oncologists. I considered
the following options to eliminate the cancer; radiation using radioactive seeds, external radiation with hormone therapy, prostrate removal
using a large incision in my abdomen and prostate removal using the
Da vinci method
which uses laparoscopic techniques to remove the prostate. I choose Dr Singh because he was very experienced with the Da vinci method and he made me feel the most comfortable in his ability to achieve
my objectives of removing my prostate with the minimum of risk and discomfort. I did not make this decision lightly and after the surgery I
feel that my confidence in Dr Singh was justified and I am feeling very confident about living the rest of my life to my full potential. I
would have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Singh to anyone who finds themselves diagnosed with prostate cancer."
