Eesha Singh, MD, MS, is a vascular neurologist who specializes in the care and prevention of stroke and other conditions that affect blood vessels in the brain. As a neurohospitalist, she treats patients admitted to the hospital with a wide range of neurologic illnesses and emergencies. She continues to work with patients after they leave the hospital, helping them recover and manage their long-term neurologic health.
As part of the stroke team, Dr. Singh is committed to expanding access to advanced stroke care across the Chicago Southland. She works to bring specialized treatment closer to the patients and communities who need it.
Because neurologic conditions can affect women differently, Dr. Singh leads the Women’s Neurology Clinic for women whose conditions may be affected by pregnancy or hormone changes. She works closely with maternal-fetal medicine and cardio-obstetrics [specialists to treat conditions such as stroke, eclampsia and headaches during pregnancy. She helps women with a history of neurologic conditions safely plan for pregnancy. She also treats headaches and migraines, offering Botox injections and nerve blocks to ease pain and help patients return to daily life.
Dr. Singh believes patients should understand their diagnosis, treatment options and what to expect from their care. She takes time to answer questions and make sure patients have a voice in decisions about their treatment. Much of her work focuses on expanding access to advanced stroke care so patients can receive specialized treatment closer to home, including opportunities to participate in clinical trials.

UChicago Medicine is committed to fostering a corporate culture of ethical behavior and integrity in all matters related to compliance with the laws and regulations that govern the delivery of healthcare. This aspiration is central to supporting patient care, research, and teaching at UChicago Medicine.
Some of our physicians and health professionals collaborate with external pharmaceutical, medical device, or other medical related entities to develop new treatments and products to improve clinical outcomes for patients. In some instances, the physician has ownership interests in the external entity and/or is compensated for advising or speaking about the entity’s products or treatments. These payments may include compensation for consulting and speaking engagements, equity, and/or royalties for products invented by our physicians. To assure objectivity and integrity in patient care, UChicago Medicine requires all physicians and health professionals to report their relationships and financial interests with external entities on an annual basis. This information is used to review relationships and transactions that might give rise to potential financial conflicts of interest, and when considered to be significant a management plan to mitigate any biases is created.
If you are a patient at UChicago Medicine and would like more information about your physician’s external relationships, please talk with your physician. You may also visit the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Open Payments website at https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/ . CMS Open Payments is a national disclosure program that promotes a more transparent and accountable health care system. It houses a publicly accessible database of payments that reporting entities, including drug and medical device companies, make to covered recipients like physicians and hospitals.

All information is open to personal interpretation, if there are questions about the data, patients and their advocates should speak directly to their health care provider for a better understanding.
