  • Dr went into sufficient detail so I understood almost everything! Very reassuring and to the point. Thank you Thank you

  • I felt like the provider thought. My appointment was a waste of time. It didn't look like he read my history properly as he was confusing and combining two different events. I worry that some things were overlooked due to my age and less severity of the symptoms in his eyes as opposed to other possible stroke patients who have higher needs.

  • Terrific. He was thorough and caring. Explained my situation in a way that was easy for me to understand. He answered all my questions.

    2026-06-15

  • He knew my issues very well. He had taken the time to really review my chart. He answered every concern I had and provided research on it, studies I could read, and best of all reassurance. That he thinks outside of the box was evident because I asked some pretty weird thought provoking questions I am so impressed by him and was grateful for his thoroughness even though it took nearly a year to see him.

  • The appointment was made by my PCP [redacted] following a scheduled visit with her My visit followed my MGH ER experience where the preliminary directions were set up on the assumption that I had a TIA Dr. Singhal changed the entire process He explained why in totally understandable detail and changed some medication and assured my wife and I that this was not a TIA He then wrote a 3 page analysis and recommendation and sent it the same day to Dr [redacted] and me Dr Singhal is knowledgeable and professional but also a great communicator MGH has world class doctors and he is an example of that reputation

  • This doctor was new to me as my previous doctor had retired. I was a bit skeptical as this new provider only does appointments virtually. However it worked fine. We looked at MRI images and he explained everything very carefully and explicitly.

  • He was very professional and knowledgeable about his work. I appreciated that, especially because my diagnosis is not that common. He explained to me my situation in detail and I understood very clearly, even though a virtual visit.

    2026-01-11

  • Very knowledgeable and courteous

  • Hi, my experience was outstanding. That might be slightly colored by the fact that he gave me good news, which is contradictory to what I'd been told in my previous three visits by other people, and he had proof. So this guy rocks. But I also want to say that you had one question saying if I'd ever discussed my medications with anyone in his office, I don't know the answer to that question. I don't know how big his office is. Do we mean just MGH neurology, anyone at Mass General Brigham? And I don't remember whether there were questions about that on my pre-visit and I mostly don't care. So I apologize if I gave a wrong answer on that. I don't know was not an option.

  • Dr. Aneesh is absolutely unbelievable. He is a great doctor. Only one other time I have experienced another doctor like him. The other doctor like him is Dr. [redacted]. These two doctors at the Mass General are unbelievable. They are the best. All the rest leave much to be desired. But Dr. Aneesh and Dr. [redacted] are unbelievable doctors. They know everything about your case. They're very concerned. They're very thoughtful. They're very thorough. They make sure you understand and they're very caring. I hope that you get more people like these two because they are great. God bless both of them. Thank you and that's it.

  • Dr. Singhal was amazing. I travelled from Texas to see him. He was knowledgeable, patient and kind in his approach. I appreciated that he made sure I understood what he had to say and by the time I landed back in Dallas I had a complete report on our visit. I've already shared his report with my doctors and they appreciated his timeliness. Not only is Dr. Singhal an expert in his field, he's an expert in patient care. I'm so thankful I was able to see him. Thank you.
