The reviews listed below were collected independently of Neurosurgical Associates, P.C. through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Have been in twice, have yet to see Singleton. Have only seen the nurse practitioner. Saw no results from MRI, only that spine was not any worse than nine years ago. No solid plan for treatment or best route to follow.. I guess I am too old to be worth the doctor’s time.

Didn’t get to see him and wasn’t told till I got to exam room. Waited 4 weeks for the appointment and saw NP. She was great

Great bedside manner and he does a wonderful job explaining things in detail to you, unlike most doctors. If I had to give a critique, I would just say he seemed a little rushed, like he was trying to hurry out of there.

Prefer Dr discuss aspects of condition, good or bad. Truth is the only way for me to plan for the future. If the Dr doesn't know a diagnosis yet, I can deal with that answer.

Dr Singleton took his time with me, answered my multitude of questions and options that we need to exhaust prior to invasive surgery and added data on each. He allowed me to determine our course of treatment/surgery and I feel quite confident that we have set out a course of care agreeable to both of us. Thank you for being so tolerant to all my concerns. You’re a 5 star surgeon in my book and fortunately or unfortunately, which ever you wish to choose, I’m comparing you to every NeuroSurgeon at Duke Medical Center that I have had the pleasure of working with for many years. I have put you thru my test and you came thru with flying colors! Thank you Sir! Looking forward to my surgery in the near future!
