In fact, acupuncture ended up being the treatment that abated the pain and here we are 5 years later, and the pain has not recurred. He has also been instrumental in guiding the treatment when I had buttock pain over the course of a year. Again, acupuncture was the treatment that abated my buttock pain, which is the result of lumbar osteoarthritis. His conservative and non-invasive approach is his strength.

He was responsible for my not going to surgery and advising me about the right path to take. He was so right....7 months later!!! He is caring, thorough and a very bright physiatrist, a doctor that deals with neuro-muscular problems of a non-surgical nature. He communicates amazingly, both in and outside of his office. I recommend him without hesitation. He will assess your issue and get back to your primary care doctor about what he thinks. AS a fellow physician, I think I am pretty savvy about the quality of physicians. This doctor is a winner!

Horrible experience--dismissive, unprofessional, and emotionally damaging…read more I had an extremely distressing experience with Dr. Hough. I called his emergency line while in a crisis due to severe, unrelenting physical pain that was interfering with my sleep and causing suicidal thoughts. I had already made multiple attempts to get help through his office, leaving messages and even visiting in person. Still, I never received a call back regarding an urgent insurance referral or treatment options. When I finally reached Dr. Hough directly, he interrupted me, spoke angrily, and told me there was "no reason" to go to his office. He dismissed the fact that I was in crisis and showed no concern when I said I was experiencing suicidal thoughts. He then incorrectly claimed that "imaging is never done for lipomas" and said that my pain was from depression, even though a neurosurgeon in his own office had already ordered imaging, and my PCP agreed it was necessary. He offered no empathy, no support, and no clinical guidance beyond vague suggestions about movement and stress management. It was one of the most invalidating medical experiences I've ever had, especially while being in physical and emotional pain. I told him he was fired. No patient in crisis should be treated with such coldness and disregard.

She was caring, polite and informative. All the staff were very friendly and helpful.

I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis/sciatica with severe pain in one leg when walking and often…read morewhen trying to sleep. Options were to try physical therapy, one or two epidural injections in my spine or surgery. Physical therapy didn't help enough. I was afraid to try the epidural as a friend told me when she had one she almost levitated off the table from the pain. I did a lot of research and came up with a number of doctors for chronic pain in the Maryland/DC area who were recommended by other doctors or friends. One name kept on being mentioned: Dr. Aneesh Singla. In trying to decide which doctor to go to, I called offices and asked to speak to the doctors. Some doctors rushed through my questions and concerns or never even answered them and some never called me back. Then my physical therapist told me he took his mother to see Dr. Singla for an epidural. He described how caring and kind Dr. Singla was with his mother and how he used the most up-to-date techniques to make sure the procedure was done in the most pain free way possible. That clinched it for me. Before making an appointment I spoke to Dr. Singla on the phone to discuss my questions. He spent all the time needed to answer my questions, explain how he does the procedure and reassure me. Our conversation reinforced all the positive comments that the physical therapist had said about him. When I arrived I was greeted warmly by the receptionist. The office was busy but every staff member took the time to treat me kindly and with respect. I cant say the procedure was completely without pain, but by numbing the area where the epidural would be inserted, the shot itself wasn't painful at all. Toward the end, I was obviously uncomfortable with the medicine being injected. Dr. Singla told me it would be over in 3 seconds, and he counted the 3 seconds aloud which REALLY helped. The next day Dr. Singla called to see how I was doing and told me what I could expect to happen next in terms of noticing improvement. I can't fully describe how fortunate I feel to have chosen him to be the doctor to do this procedure. If you need help for chronic pain, I would immediately call Dr. Singla's office and make an appointment. He is knowledgeable, professional and truly cares about his patients.

DON'T do any treatments or surgeries before consulting with Dr. Singla! I battled back problems for…read more20 years when I finally gave in and decided surgery was my only option left. I was barely walking. I consulted with 4 surgeons. The first was ready to operate with no confidence I'd be any better. The 3 others all insisted I was not a candidate for surgery and told me I'd have to live with the pain. Needless to say I was disappointed and depressed. Fortunately one of the surgeons requested a additional test from a specialist named Dr. Singla. With feedback from all 4 surgeons I nearly canceled the appointment with Dr. Singla. The test was simply to pin point where the majority of my pain was coming from. I was convinced not to proceed with surgery, but went to my appointment with Dr. Singla anyway. To this day I'm not sure why I went, but at the end of the procedure Dr. Singla simply said to me, I think I have a non-surgical solution that may help you. I tried to tell him that I've done the steroid shots, and even had platelets treatments, and they all wear off in a week or two. He explained this was a different procedure. One no one else had mentioned to me before. I figured, what did I have to loose? Soon I wouldn't be walking at all. That was 4 years ago. I see Dr. Singla for continued treatment about every 6 months. I know not everyone has the same results, but I've been 100% pain free for most of the 4 years he's been treating me. Of the times I haven't be perfectly pain free, the pain is very minimal and manageable. I often recall how limited I was 4 years ago. Now I play ball with my kids, get the yard work done, and even exercise. I have a life thanks to Dr. Singla. I've also found that everyone I've met with back pains or problems also haven't heard of the options Dr. Singla has to offer. None of the doctors I saw suggested such treatments, none of the countless friends, family, and total strangers had ever heard of these alternative options. The bottom line - I highly recommend you consult with Dr. Singla before you decide on any procedure and especially before trying surgery!

Dr. Lee is an amazing doctor who really cares and listens to you. She is very knowledgeable about…read morehuman anatomy and physiology, and works hard to see her patients. If you are suffering from a chronic condition she will fit you in, and she has a great personality. She specializes in helping chronic cases including sports injury, inflammatory disease, and immune syndromes that are rare. No illness puts her off and she will be honest with what she can do for you. What I like best about her is that she does not use toxic medications and is supportive even if you cannot use what usually works for other people. She will work with you until you are well, and if you relapse or develop a new medical issue she won't give up on you. I started off seeing her for Schoenfeld's Syndrome. Even though she was unfamiliar with it she believed me unlike another doctor (Dr. Shafai) at this practice. She treated me to remission in 10 weeks. When I got a concussion in a car accident she helped me through that. When I relapsed due to toxic medication she again treated me again. I cannot recommend her enough!

Medical professionals (and I use the term "professionals" loosely) such as Juliana are part of the reason why patients refuse to be seen unless they are faced with serious medical issues. It's bad enough that patients who receive state insurance find it difficult to locate specialists, but to be treated in such a callous and disrespectful manner is ridiculous and sad. I will definitely follow up with the in-house office staff and demand an apology from this individual and the practice.
