Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The Best Doctor
Dr. Sinha is dedicated to treating patients like me wholistically. He is an excellent teacher and patient. He understands my medical issues with thoroughness to prescribe the best medication treatments and dosages with careful monitoring. I assure you; he will be a most excellent choice of doctor for you and your family. Having worked in health care as a recreational therapist for 17 years, he is one of the best doctors I have ever met. Appreciate his humane side and going beyond the call of duty.

The Best Doctor I've Ever Had!
Dr. Sinha is the most attentive and considerate doctor I've ever visited. He has been my primary physician for the last ten years! Every appointment, he listens to every concern I have, major or minor, and goes over my test results very clearly. He ensures that I can understand them well and goes above and beyond to suggest what I can do to improve. Since seeing him, my health has improved and I've adopted a better lifestyle according to his suggestions. Every time I message him about a problem regarding my health, he replies in impressive time and tells me whether I need to arrange a one-on-one appointment or meet through a web link. If I ever need to see a different doctor for something specific, I can trust him to give me a good referral so that I am treated well anywhere I go. I am so pleased to have Dr. Sinha as my primary physician and know I can rely on him anytime for my health situation.

Steadfast, caring and way smarter than I am.
He is always willing to listen, always has your best interest at heart. He is one of the few doctors that have not only held onto their compassion but their humanity as well. He actually cares about you as a person.He comes up with innovative solutions to improve your health in spite of your own habits or stubbornness. He's been my PCP for over 20 years and I can honestly say he's the best PCP I've had. He's always willing to squeeze you in so you don't end up an anonymous patient at an urgent care. Thanks doc! You're the best!

Everybody deserves a physician like Dr. Sinha
Dr. Sinha is an excellent physician. He is very patient, kind, caring, thorough, and comprehensive. His warm and amicable demeanor makes patients feel safe and heard. Dr. Sinha always ensures his patients get the proper diagnosis and appropriate care that they deserve. He always attentively listens to patients' medical problems/complaints, correctly identifies the diagnosis, and determines the suitable care for his patients. I currently commute from Brooklyn to see Dr. Sinha and I would gladly commute from anywhere to him. Dr. Sinha is an incredible physician and one of the kindest human beings.Also, his office is very neat and clean. The staffs are friendly and professional. I got to see Dr. Sinha on time for all my appointments.

I already reviewed Dr. Sinha but there's more.
We all know there are holes that patients can fall through in our imperfect care system. Doctor's are people too and will interact with you based on their own experiences and capabilities. Dr. Sinha is just like one of those doctors, but unlike them, he tries his best to objectively and not subjectively gauge your health needs and treatment plan. I have never met a doctor that is willing to put himself out on a limb for his patients to resolve a situation that resulted from two other doctors not seeing eye to eye and leaving a patient to suffer because of their private dispositions. Not only did he squeeze me in for a last minute same day video visit again, he is going out on a limb and helping me. He is capable of incredible compassion despite the difficult nature of his job. I think any less that five star review regarding Dr. Sinha may not have accounted for the Dr's perspective. He is after all, only human. One of the finest I have ever met.

Thankful for my doctor!
Dr. Sinha has been my internist for seven years. He has always inspired my confidence, looking at both the big picture and the details while helping maintain my good health. Last year some of my test results went downhill. Dr. Sinha gave me a lot of sound advice and called in a nutritionist, and my recent tests showed great improvement. Happy to have a doctor who shows genuine concern with a positive outlook! He is very supportive and knowledgeable, I would surely recommend him to my friends.

Great Primary Doctor
Dr Sinha has been my primary care physician for over 5 years and I could not be more fortunate. He is caring, concerned, engaged, and excellent at what he does. He takes the time to listen, and always follows up when I have questions or concerns. He is very generous with his time and I never feel rushed. The office staff is responsive and supportive as well. After a recent serious diagnosis, I called the office and was on a video call within a few hours, and with a follow-up question he responded within an hour. He is a true partner in maintaining my health.

As an MD I believe I am better equipped than most to evaluate a physician. I saw Dr Sinha for the first time one week ago. I'm in the process of "moving" all of my physicians to Weil-Cornell. He was an absolute pleasure to see. He immediately put me at ease and I felt he was genuinely eager to help. Excellent bedside manner and thorough. The two intermuscular injections I received from his nurse was performed with the gentlest of touch. I obviously have no long term experience, but I'm confident that anyone seeing him as their internist would be quite impressed.

Dr. Sinha has been my doctor for the last decade, and helped me through multiple hospitalizations, including epilepsy and asthma. He takes his time to understand, makes sure I am top of my medication and gives sound advice. He cares, and has up to date knowledge on what medicine works and what doesn't.

While traveling abroad in a remote area over the New Year's holiday, I became very sick and couldn't find a doctor. Feeling desperate and scared, I emailed Dr. Sinha who had been so helpful to me during previous illnesses. To my complete surprise, despite the holiday, he emailed back with advice and reassurance. In a world where patients usually just become numbers, Dr. Sinha breaks that mold by consistently making his patients feel that their health and well-being is always his priority-even if he's doing that from thousands of miles away.
