Circle Health Group works with all major UK health insurance providers. Simply let your provider know your chosen hospital to begin your treatment journey.
As demand for his expertise grew, he transitioned fully to private practice, maintaining the same high standards of NHS care. Mr Singh takes a patient-first approach, enabling patients to quickly access the right care – not just in surgery, but in all aspects of treatment – whether that means connecting with the best physiotherapist for them, providing an injection in the same clinic appointment where appropriate or obtaining the quickest scan – all while keeping finances in mind. As his charges comply with all insurance guidelines, he is highly regarded by insurance companies as a preferred healthcare provider. He is also registered as a BUPA Platinum provider.
He is widely regarded as a leading Foot and Ankle specialist in London, offering the most up-to-date and proven techniques for managing all foot and ankle disorders, including Morton’s neuroma, bunions and hammertoes, ankle sports injuries, ankle pain and arthritis, Achilles disorders, and plantar fasciitis. Minimally invasive foot surgery is one of the treatment options he offers.
Patients value the personalised and dedicated care that Sam Singh offers, an approach shared by his support team, including caring PAs Lorna and Elia. The team’s empathetic approach, attention to detail and availability to answer queries sets his practice apart from others, and this is reflected in the high number of patients he sees – many of whom have been referred by his previous patients. Patients report feeling confident in Mr Singh’s care, citing his good humour and reassuring manner as important factors in their trust. This can be seen in the highly positive patient feedback on Doctify (800+ recommendations) and the Private Healthcare Information Network, PHIN,(almost 500), where his surgical outcome data can also be openly reviewed.
Mr Singh’s busy practice means he has a wealth of experience in an array of conditions in the Foot and Ankle sphere, including even those rarer conditions. This benefits patients when it comes to diagnosing and treating their conditions, meaning diagnoses can be reached accurately and expediently, with treatment guided by a combination of his vast clinical experience and evidence-based techniques.
Mr Singh is passionate about his work and likes to deliver value to patients beyond the clinical setting. He regularly shares his knowledge via popular podcasts, academic and mainstream media, as well as his website, which has a catalogue of patient resources. He has also served as Senior Editor on bunions and Morton’s neuroma for the UK’s leading patient resource, NHS Choices.
A Cambridge University graduate, Sam Singh completed his specialist Foot and Ankle Surgery training in Boston, USA. He remains the only British surgeon to have been awarded Harvard University’s fellowship in Foot and Ankle Surgery.

"Dear Mr. Singh, A very happy coincidence to receive your email. I intended contacting you today to express my gratitude for your thorough approach and understanding of my difficulty in the right foot. At every step of the way you have shown a caring and professional approach accompanied by a very cheerful and honest disposition. In addition I would like to complement the hospital staff all of whom were both friendly and most helpful. With best wishes."

"For years I have experienced pain and deformed feet due to my large bunions, horror stories of nerve damage and further pain post op were discussed from various people and hospitals, so I avoided even thinking about an operation, but after the long lockdown period I couldn’t walk for very long periods of time without having to remove my trainers. I am a 51- year old considerably fit and healthy lady, so enough was enough and a good friend of mine was booked into Dr Singh for a double bunionectomy so I asked for his contact details and went along for a chat. From the warm welcome and in-depth conversation I was booked in for a double bunionectomy two weeks later. The first week was painful but bearable and 6 weeks post op I am walking swimming and back to my everyday life. I still get swelling but that is to be expected from 6 weeks to a year. If anyone is debating to have this operation DO IT! I wish I had seen Dr Singh earlier and had this 20 years ago!"
