About Mr Sam Singh

Trusted Foot and Ankle Care, Focused on You

Mr Sam Singh is one of London’s most experienced Foot and Ankle surgeons, offering internationally recognised expertise with highly personalised patient care.

He served as Lead Foot and Ankle Surgeon at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust from 2005 to 2022, where he also trained the next generation of specialists. Through a fellowship programme he established, Sam personally trained 15 Foot and Ankle consultants across the South East, reflecting his depth of experience and standing within the specialty.

Sam graduated from the University of Cambridge and completed advanced training in Boston, USA. He is the only British surgeon to have been awarded a specialist Foot and Ankle Surgery fellowship from Harvard University. He now works exclusively in private practice, bringing nearly 20 years of NHS leadership experience into a setting focused on accessibility, continuity, and efficiency.

He treats the full spectrum of Foot and Ankle conditions, including sports injuries, ankle arthritis, bunions, hammertoes, Morton’s neuroma, Achilles disorders, and plantar fasciitis, using evidence-based and minimally invasive techniques where appropriate.

Patients value Sam’s clear, hands-on approach. Consultations are practical and outcome-focused, often including same-day injections, streamlined imaging pathways, and direct referral to trusted physiotherapists—reducing delays and unnecessary appointments.

Sam is also a recognised authority in patient education. He has served as Senior Editor for bunions and Morton’s neuroma for NHS Choices and regularly shares balanced, accessible guidance through podcasts and published articles.

His reputation is reflected in exceptional patient feedback and transparently published surgical outcomes, with over 800 recommendations on Doctify and nearly 500 on PHIN. High clinical volumes allow him to manage complex and uncommon cases while delivering consistent results for more common conditions.

Known for his professionalism, approachability, humour and calm confidence, Sam treats every patient with respect and clarity. He is a Platinum BUPA provider and a preferred consultant for all major insurers, with fees aligned to approved guidelines.

Mr Singh is clearly an expert in his field who continues to take the time to explain things with clarity. He took the time to listen and diagnose with care, and performed surgery expertly. He was always willing to answer questions and his secretarial support was brilliant. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

After years of struggling with arthritic pain and big toe immobility which was also straining my hip, I decided to seek advice from Mr Singh. My foot was quite the mess, no cartilage in my big toe, large bony lump on top, swollen and damaged. After reviewing my options, he advised that i consider the Swanson big toe joint replacement surgery. The reason being that my priority was to maintain mobility in the joint (which was limited) so that I could continue practicing yoga. I am now 8 weeks into healing and the result has exceeded all expectations. The tight tendon in the arch of my foot is relaxed allowing my hip to no longer feel uncomfortable and strained. Possibly allowing me to avoid hip replacement at some point. The toe is flexible and mobile, I am pain free without the bony lump and I will be able to wear a range of footwear, no longer restricted to loafers and trainers!! The highlight of course is that I am back to my yoga practice which I know will be stronger than ever. For anyone considering this surgery I would not hesitate, it is transformational and although the healing process takes a bit of time, in my view it’s very well worth it!! Thank you Mr Singh, I am very grateful.

The Swanson SIlastic replacement is an excellent option for some patients who have Arthritic big toe joints. Its a fascinating implant that fell out of fashion for no real reason. It is the choice of treatment for certain groups of patients like yourself who still wish to maintain mobility for example with yoga. Glad to have been able to help you.

Sam diagnosed me with bilateral severe calcific tendinitis at the back of both heels, which was stopping me going on lengthy walks and increasingly troublesome in general. I was quickly admitted to operate on first one then the other ankle (about 3 months later). My layman understanding is that the tendons were removed, the bone pared back and the tendons reattached. The result was goodbye pain putting on shoes and hello long walks in the Lake District: truly life changing stuff for me! Frankly I can't thank Sam enough. In addition, Sam is super professional and very relatable (i.e. a top bloke!). Highly recommended.

I was under Mr Singh’s care for Compartment Syndrome in the anterior compartment in both legs. From the initial appointment through to surgery and follow up everything went as discussed and expected. Post surgery I was mobile within 3 days and was independent of crutches at that point also. I noticed the surgery was a success within a week and by week 3 I was walking at speed comfortably.

Thank you, exercise induced compartment syndrome is an uncommon condition but it can be very limiting to the patients who have it. I am glad the surgery is helping you

Over the past year, Dr Singh removed two Morton's neuromas, one in each foot. I found him to be very knowledgeable and reassuring, the procedures went very well and I'm now finally able to run without pain! Excellent experience, would highly recommend

Thank you. There is no much misinformation about surgery outcomes online. If the surgery is done well it can make a huge difference to the patients.

Mr Singh was optimistic about the treatment he could offer for my very painful arthritic right 1st MTP joint and advised on the best procedure. The operation and recovery went smoothly and I felt in good hands with Mr Singh from start to finish.

The care that I have received from Mr Singh and his team has been outstanding from start to finish. The surgery went extremely well and I am very pleased with the results. The level of care that I received throughout - from my first consultation to post op was really well managed and done so with a friendly smile. Everything was explained to me clearly and I felt listened to so I knew I was in capable hands. I would highly recommend Dr Singh to anyone considering surgery.
