Amit Singh, MD
About
Dr. Singh joined Cayuga Medical Center’s medical staff and Ithaca Cardiology Associates in 2003, bringing specialized training in nuclear cardiology and transesophageal echocardiography. Dr. Singh served as the initial medical director of the Accredited Chest Pain Center at Cayuga Medical Center, the first of its kind in the region. Dr. Singh worked closely with Dr. Drew Koch, then chair of the Emergency Medicine Department, to develop the Cayuga Medical Center STEMI team, a rapid-response team focused on immediate assessment and treatment of patients with heart attack. Dr. Singh, who joined CMA in 2012, also enjoys his role as clinical instructor in medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, teaching medical students and medical residents who rotate through the Cayuga Heart Institute. In his free time Dr. Singh enjoys spending time with his wife and four children by staying active in their church, “creating in the kitchen,” jogging, swimming, and cheering for his two sons at their football, basketball, and lacrosse games. Born a Buckeye, he enjoys the Cleveland Cavs basketball team, Cleveland Indians baseball team, and Cleveland Browns football team (although he does have a soft spot for the NY Giants). Dr. Singh tries to watch these teams, as well as his “true loves:” Syracuse University basketball & Ohio State football, whenever he has the opportunity.

Meet Amit Singh, MD
what our patients are saying
“I have to say the last couple visits that I’ve had here have been wonderful. About a month ago I had an EGD and the staff were amazing! Explained everything in detail and made me feel at ease. I was very nervous and the nurse I had was very comforting. Tonight we had to take my son to the emergency room and they were awesome with him! We got right in. “
“I have had many occasions visiting CMC for myself and family. We have never had a bad experience there at all. Last October I had surgery and the nurses were amazing especially my night nurse. Thank you to all CMC staff for doing what you do every day with a smile.”
“The staff and accommodations at Cayuga Birthplace are amazing!!! This is what it I imagine it would feel like to be a celebrity getting VIP treatment. I wish I could stay longer – even the food options are 5 Star! The amenities are great. Everything is clean and designed beautifully. Not a single complaint, only praises!”
“I have been a Hemo dialysis patient for almost Five years. Prior to dialysis and during dialysis I have had several trips to the ER, due to other health issues & was admitted to CMC more than a few times. Each and every time I’ve been there, whether in patient or out, I have been treated with respect, professionalism, and efficiency. I give this hospital 2 thumbs up!! Thank you CMC for taking care of me all these years!!”
