Singh Hardayal Md - Southeastern Orthopedics Sprts

I must say my prayers were answered.I first took my husband to Dr Singh as a second op ion, the 1st doctor was wanting a shoulder replacement.Come to find out he need no were near that much. He did the surgery with great success. My best friend also had 2 major surgeries with him, one being close to her heart that no other doctors would do. He was great for that also. Best of all I know I can depend on his comic attitude just when i need to be lifted (great bed side manor)and the decrement to know when you need it strait.I started to have knee problems and of course I seek him. he did great avoiding surgery that i did not want. I recommend him all the way. He's great and honest he will tell you his true opion even if you might not like it.

I went to Southeastern Orthopedics, because it was recommended by my primary care doctor. I met with Dr. Singh and was told to get an MRI to confirm a torn meniscus. It showed 3 tears. He also had several x-ray taken. He recommended surgery. I was not ready for surgery, so he suggested physical therapy. 3-4 weeks later I returned with no relief. He suggested surgery again. He did not offer any other treatments. Having no other experience with this type of pain, I agreed. The surgery was a failure, Swelling that needed to be drained weekly, until he gave me a steroid injection and told me to stop physical therapy for six weeks, which also included my job, which was extremely physical, which he knew before the surgery, and had told me I would be able to return to work 3 days after the surgery. Returning after my six weeks of no physical activity with even more pain than when I went to see him the first time, he said that there was nothing else he could do, except prescribe narcotics. I had done some research by this time and asked about synvisc injection. This is when the "comedy of errors" began, (as quoted by one of the nurses)...being told my insurance didn't cover it, that they had letter to prove it, even thou I told them that my insurance does cover and that they had not sent any letter. At this time, I sought a second opinion, (something I should have done before surgery), and changed doctors after they refused to treat me because I had seen another doctor.
