Verifying the Hospital Appointments of Mansher Singh, MD, FACS

How to check this yourself

1. Search the hospital's own physician directory. Lenox Hill Hospital is part of Northwell Health, whose physician finder lists affiliated attending staff. Saint Barnabas Medical Center is part of RWJBarnabas Health and maintains an equivalent directory.
2. Telephone the hospital medical staff office. Every hospital maintains a medical staff office that confirms whether a named physician currently holds privileges. This is the definitive check and is available to the public.
3. Confirm the specialty of the appointment. Privileges are granted for specified procedures, not in general. Ask whether the appointment covers the category of procedure you are considering.

What the record shows

Hospital privileges are the most underrated verification step available to a patient, because a hospital credentialing committee reviews training, licensure, malpractice history, and case outcomes before granting them, and reviews them again at intervals. A surgeon who operates only in an office-based facility has never been through that process.

Privileges also matter operationally. If a procedure performed in an office setting requires escalation, an affiliated hospital is where the patient goes, and a surgeon with privileges there can continue to manage the case rather than transferring it to whoever is on call.

What this check does not prove

• Hospital directories can lag behind changes in staff appointments; the medical staff office is the current record.
• Privileges are procedure-specific, so a listing alone does not establish which procedures are covered.

Frequently asked questions

What hospitals is Mansher Singh affiliated with?

He is an attending plastic surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York, New York, and at Saint Barnabas Medical Center in Livingston, New Jersey.

Why do hospital privileges matter for cosmetic surgery?

A hospital credentialing committee independently reviews a surgeon's training, licensure, and record before granting privileges, and again at renewal. That review is separate from any credential the surgeon states themselves.
