About Dr Animesh Singh

Dr Animesh Singh is a Consultant Rheumatologist and General Internal Medicine Physician with extensive experience in diagnosing and managing the full range of rheumatological conditions. He is among the highest-rated and most-reviewed Consultant Rheumatologists in London on both Doctify and Google, reflecting consistently strong patient feedback about his clinical care, communication and thoroughness.

His NHS practice is based at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead, where he is Clinical Lead for Rheumatology and works within a major teaching hospital and tertiary referral centre. He sees private patients at The Physicians’ Clinic and The Princess Grace Hospital in central London, Chiswick Medical Centre in West London, and the Royal Free Hospital’s private patient unit in Hampstead.

Dr Singh provides careful, evidence-based and highly personalised care. He understands that rheumatological conditions can affect many aspects of a person’s health and daily life, and he takes time to listen, explain the likely diagnosis and discuss the available treatment options. His consultations are collaborative, with clear respect for each patient’s priorities, background and preferences.

He assesses and treats all forms of rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease, including:

• rheumatoid arthritis and other forms of inflammatory arthritis
• psoriatic arthritis and complex psoriasis-associated disease
• polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA)
• lupus and other connective tissue diseases
• gout and other crystal arthropathies
• osteoporosis and metabolic bone disease
• vasculitis
• adult-onset Still’s disease
• osteoarthritis, joint pain and soft-tissue conditions

Dr Singh is also experienced in assessing patients with complex or unexplained symptoms, particularly where there may be inflammation, autoimmune disease or involvement of more than one body system. His dual accreditation in rheumatology and general internal medicine allows him to take a broad medical view rather than considering symptoms in isolation.

At the Royal Free Hospital, he leads a specialist joint dermatology–rheumatology clinic for patients with complex psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. He also contributes to acute and general medical care and participates in the medical on-call rotas at both the Royal Free Hospital and The Princess Grace Hospital.

Alongside his clinical work, Dr Singh is an educational supervisor for resident doctors, teaches undergraduate medical students and acts as principal investigator for clinical trials in inflammatory rheumatic disease. He has also advised healthcare commissioners and national organisations on the appropriate use of biologic and targeted treatments.

His approach is centred on establishing the correct diagnosis, avoiding unnecessary investigation and providing patients with a clear, practical and individualised management plan.

Qualifications

Dr Animesh Singh studied medicine at University College London, qualifying in 2005. During his undergraduate training, he also completed an intercalated BSc in Immunology, graduating with first-class honours.

He undertook research at the Windeyer Institute at UCL under Professor David Isenberg and Professor Michael Ehrenstein, investigating the mechanisms underlying rheumatoid arthritis and the effects of anti-TNF treatment. This work led to several academic awards, including recognition from Arthritis Research UK.

Dr Singh completed his postgraduate training in general internal medicine and rheumatology across North and West London. His training encompassed both busy district general hospitals and internationally recognised teaching and specialist centres, giving him broad experience in acute medicine, complex multisystem disease and specialist rheumatology.

He also spent a further period working in clinical research for a multinational pharmaceutical company, helping to establish and deliver clinical trials of tocilizumab in systemic sclerosis and cytokine-release syndrome in patients undergoing treatment for leukaemia. Tocilizumab was subsequently approved by the FDA as the first biologic therapy for systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease.

Dr Singh was awarded Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians in 2020. He is a member of the British Society for Rheumatology and the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology.

I greatly appreciated Dr Singh's clarity and attention to detail. It was clear that he has considerable experience and expertise in treating my disease. I believe he is one of few doctors in the country who have those qualities experience because it is a very rare disease.

I am so grateful I read reviews like this and went to see Dr. Singh. He was thorough, generous, and understood the assignment. He did three important things for me: 1. Validated me regarding my previous difficulties with diagnosis. 2. Immediately issued me with a letter I could take back to the NHS to help unlock my treatment pathway. 3. Administered a steroid injection to relieve my symptoms. All of these things have made a huge difference to me. My situation was really affecting my wellbeing and Dr. Singh's actions were materially and psychologically really beneficial to me. I would also like to thank his super-efficient and helpful administrative team.

I can recommend Dr. Singh! I saw him for a second opinion and was impressed. He is personable, approachable, and listens carefully He took his time reviewing my previous blood tests, carefully explained his diagnosis, and helped me understand the implications. We put together a clear treatment plan, and his communication since then has been quick.

Dr Animesh Singh has provided my mum with exceptional care since we transferred to him two years ago, when her rituximab infusions were no longer having the desired effect. Rather than focusing solely on her immediate symptoms, he took the time to conduct a thorough and holistic review of her overall health. He then developed a carefully considered treatment plan to help keep major flare-ups at bay and improve her long-term wellbeing. What has impressed us most is his continued commitment to her care, even after my parents moved to Dubai. His knowledge, compassion and dedication have given both my mum and our family enormous reassurance. We are incredibly grateful to Dr Singh and would highly recommend him.

Your trust is our top concern, so providers can't pay to alter or remove reviews.
