Cleveland Clinic strives to make scientific advances that will benefit patient care and support outside relationships that promise public benefit.

Dr. Singh is very open and clear about my condition and is realistic as to treatment and results that any giver treatment may ultimately have. I trust him not to recommend treatments that have adverse effects to my health. Not every doctor takes that approach and it is very much appreciated. He is quite exceptional in that way. I find him to be an excellent doctor.

Dr. Joseph Abraham was excellent! He saw scar tissue under my artificial lense and did a procedure with the approval of Dr. Singh that removed the scar tissue and helped me see clearly. I was so blessed to have him as a doctor that day. Thank you!
