Hospitalist Jaswinder Singh, MD is Board Certified in Neurology and Clinical Neurophysiology. He sees patients at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio and is part of Methodist Physicians | Neurology Specialists.
As a child born into a family with a history of Parkinson’s disease, Dr. Singh developed an early passion for neurology. Compelled to consider a career in medicine, Dr. Singh was intrigued by the challenges associated with diagnosing neurological conditions. “It’s a field where you can visualize what a patient is saying. Sometimes it’s challenging to figure out what’s happening. We rely on thorough examinations and histories—the art of listening,” says Dr. Singh. Today, exceptional clinical skills like conducting neurologic examinations, taking a detailed history and offering extensive bedside counselling—all with a strong foundation of medical ethics—form the basis of Dr. Singh’s practice.
Dr. Singh completed his medical degree at Bangalore Medical College in Bangalore, India. After practicing in India for five years, Dr. Singh began a Master of Science degree in healthcare administration at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Arkansas. He relocated a year later to undertake a research project in Parkinson’s disease (his primary passion) at Edward Hines, Jr Veterans Affairs Hospital in Hines, Illinois. He subsequently completed a residency in neurology at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois followed by a fellowship in neurophysiology (focused on epilepsy—his other passion).
Prior to joining the Neurohospitalist program at Methodist Hospital, Dr. Singh was in group practice in Bowling Green, Kentucky. He is a member of a number of professional organizations including the American Association of Neurology, American Association of Epilepsy and American Medical Association.
