Leading Interventional Pain Specialist Dr. Jagjeet Singh Joins Altair Health at New Freehold Office Healthcare system devoted to comprehensive spine care grows bench of pain management experts

With the addition of interventional pain specialist Jagjeet Singh, MD and the opening of its new office in Freehold, Altair Health – one of the nation’s first physician-managed healthcare systems devoted to compre- hensive spine care – continues to expand as it revolutionizes spine care for patients in New Jersey. Dual Board-certified in interventional pain medicine and anesthesiol- ogy, Dr. Singh specializes in treating all types of chronic pain, complex regional pain syndrome and failed back surgery syndrome. He is a key opinion leader in neuromodulation, including spinal cord stimulation and neuromodulation for diabetic neuropathy and chemotherapy-in- duced neuropathy. Dr. Singh is seeing patients at Altair Health Freehold, located next to CentraState Medical Center in the Ambulatory Care Center at 901 West Main Street, Suite 240 in Freehold. It is the healthcare system’s second office in Monmouth County and 10th location in New Jersey, which also includes a state-of-the-art spine center in Morristown and a surgery center in Florham Park.

“Back and neck pain can be completely debilitating, and being able to alleviate that pain – which some patients battle for far too long – is in- credibly rewarding,” says Dr. Singh. “What’s more, pain management can be even more effective for patients when it’s part of a comprehensive, coordinated approach to care. That’s exactly what Altair Health delivers.” Dr. Singh joins a distinguished group of pain management experts at Altair Health who collaborate with the healthcare system’s full team of spine specialists – including neurosurgeons, physical therapists, clinical psycholo- gists, physiatrists, wellness specialists and more – to manage each patient’s care from start to finish. “We’re proud to have some of the most progressive physicians specializing in spine care at Altair Health,” says Dr. Chris Valerian, COO of Altair Health. “Not only is Dr. Singh on the cutting edge of interventional pain manage- ment, he puts his patients at the center of everything he does, making him a natural fit as we deliver a convenient, patient-centric experience from end to end.” Prior to joining Altair Health, Dr. Singh spent 10 years practicing pain management at a private practice in New Jersey. Altair Health is one of the nation’s first physician-managed healthcare systems devoted to comprehensive spine care. Headquartered in Morristown, NJ, a team of spine specialists – including neurosurgeons, physical therapists, pain management specialists, physiatrists, wellness specialists and more – collaborate and leverage the power of integrated, evidence-based care for improved outcomes.
