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!

Very down to earth! He sat down with us and explained everything in simple terms, then even took us into his office to show us and go over all the images. Very approachable without the God complex we have experienced with other surgeons. Highly recommend!
