AVOID... AVOID... AVOID... GOING TO Dr. Gita Singh!!!
She performed a surgery on me that was completely unnecessary (this is a long review but please read)...

...this happened to me a few years ago and I was so angry about what she did, I didn't want to talk about it or share my experience because it brings me to tears.
In March of 2021, I went to Markham/Stouffville Hospital in pain. After an ultrasound and exam, I was referred to Dr Gita Singh to explain the outcome of my emergency visit. After waiting an hour, I was seen. She told me the pain was from a fibroid on my uterus and from the ultrasound image, it looked to be attached to one of my fallopian tubes. She said the surgery should be simple but can become complex but she won't know until she gets in there. I said, if this fibroid is what is causing the pain and it is for sure attached to one tube, I'd be ok with going ahead with the surgery. But if you go in and things are complex then don't do anything, come out and we will discuss options. She agreed with this plan because she also suggested it.
I had to go back to her office for my prep surgery appointment and again I waited an hour before seeing her and we discussed only removing the fibroid and nothing else that one fallopian tube was attached to it.
On the day of surgery in June 2021, I arrived at Markham/Stouffville Hospital, checked in, signed documents, and then waited in a room for her to come see me before the surgery - she didn't come to see me or reassure me and confirm what was going to happen. Instead, a nurse came to take me into the OR. I asked her where Dr Singh was and she said that I would be able to see her and talk to her in the OR (I found this to be odd, but I guess my nerves from having this surgery done were interfering with my 'gut feeling'). When I saw her, she looked at me like a deer in headlights, I mentioned to her "only remove the fibroid and possibly the one fallopian tube" and then I was put to sleep. I kind of remember her talking to me after the procedure but I was groggy from the medication.
After the surgery, I tried calling and emailing her office many times to see how everything went and no one replied.
The next time I saw her was at my 8-week post-op appointment and again I had to wait an hour before seeing her. I asked about my surgery and if she was able to remove the fibroid and she said, "no." I then asked if it was too complex and what are the next steps. She then proceeded to tell me that she removed both of my fallopian tubes and that I would need a hysterectomy to get rid of the fibroids. At this point, I'm in a state of shock because we NEVER discussed her only removing my tubes and what sense would it have made to remove my tubes to then tell me I needed a partial or full hysterectomy!!!
I asked her why she removed my tubes and didn't remove the fibroid, which was what was causing me pain.
Dr Gita Singh said something to the effect of our discussing the possibility of cancer (which she included in her surgical report - most likely to cover herself from a malpractice lawsuit). I said no, we never discussed that. She tried to convince me that we did but I knew I would never agree to that because I was still thinking about having more kids naturally. I left her office shocked and confused as to why a doctor would violate a patient's trust like this - she's a horrible woman.
On top of all of this, I had to miss 8 weeks of work because they didn't fill out the form my work needed to confirm it was ok for me to go back 3 weeks after having the surgery. I had to wait until my post-op appointment for her to fill out the form.

Fortunately, I sought the care of a reputable OB/GYN in Toronto who was dumbfounded as to what happened to me. My new doctor (after reviewing my ultrasound) said the fibroid could have easily been removed. But she didn't opt for surgery right away, she said as long as the pain doesn't come back we will monitor it.

Unfortunately, the fibroid has continued to grow over the years and now needs to be removed.

I had an appt at 9:15 and her staff showed up at 9:35 to unlock the office and dr Singh came strolling in around 10 am and as I'm writing this I rushed to drop off my newborn to be at her office for 9:30. It is now 9:54 and she is still not here yet. During the day i have waited from anywhere from 45-90 mins. I had asked her something and she snapped at me and told me that she doesn't get paid enough and patients complain about waiting. First of all she should show up on time then maybe she would be on time and not have patients waiting and complaining bc we have other things to do as well.

I was admitted at Markham hospital with extreme pain because of my ectopic pregnancy. For the past two weeks have been back and forth through emerge. My ectopic pregnancy was growing and the emerge doctor had paged dr Singh to come down. This women made me wait from 10 am to 11:30 and still did not come down to see me. As a OB she’s a terrible doctor and as a human she has no heart. I had to wait and then go home with pain cause this women kept making excuses to stay up in her pregnancy clinic. And now reading everyone else’s experience around this women I’m glad I did not meet her at all.

She delivered my baby. I guess my pushing part of labour took longer than she would have liked. She wouldn't wait for the placenta to drop out itself and took it out manually. My doula asked her to stop and to wait 20 minutes and she didn't listen. Zero personality while pushing... was on her phone in between contractions. Was just not helpful at all. I wish I had a better experience.

DO NOT BOOK!!! AVOID!!!
Dr. Singh delivered both of my children, and ALL of my appointments were late, but no where near as late as they have been now that I have been seeing her for gyne issues. Twice, I had a phone call appointment set up and SHE NEVER CALLED. This was for very important test results. No one ever answers the phone at the office. AWFUL!

Dr. Singh delivered both of my kids. Her receptionist that retired last year (Anita) was amazing. The new one is flippant, disorganized, and rude. She cuts you off on the phone and speaks over you. Dr. Singh is nice but can be condescending and is NEVER on time. I have usually waited 1 hour, sometimes two. I now see her for gyne reasons and the waiting room is always full! She’d be great if she showed up on time and didn’t double book herself. Two people arrived with the same appointment time - I didn’t think that was allowed?

Horrible OB! She delivered my daughter and told me if I thought labour was painful, see how the next 30 years are with a child. Also, when she came in to see if I was ready for delivery, she didn’t introduce herself. She only asked the nurse how much longer I would be pushing, and when the nurse said 15 mins, she said she was going for lunch and left. Her bedside manner is terrible! I would never recommend this OB!

Leslie is as useful as a glass hammer, me and my partner can’t stand her
She always says appointments are on time when in fact they are not!
When you address the issue of waiting around 1.5hrs - 2hrs she just shrugs and gives you a condescending remark, and calls the next patient into the room so she doesn’t need to deal with you
The doctor herself is great, but Leslie ruins it.. I would recommend finding a different OB just due to Leslie being so bad at her job

I once had an appointment for 1030am and she didn’t arrive til 11am and there were people waiting from 9am

Double appointment. If you don't ask questions she won't tell anything. She won't give any suggestions as a first pregnancy. Everything you will know you have to search on internet. Or the package she give it.
