LONG ISLAND, N.Y. — The Long Island medical community is mourning the passing of Dr. Shridevi Singh, a highly respected breast surgeon from West Babylon, whose career was defined by compassion, excellence, and an unwavering commitment to her patients.
Dr. Singh, who practiced medicine for many years in Massapequa and surrounding Long Island communities, was widely admired not only for her surgical skill but also for the empathy and dignity she brought to patient care. Colleagues describe her as a physician who blended technical mastery with genuine humanity — qualities that left a lasting mark on patients and peers alike.
“Dr. Singh was more than a surgeon — she was a healer,” said a colleague at a Long Island medical center who worked alongside her for over a decade. “Her patients trusted her because she listened, cared deeply, and treated every case as personal.”
Over her distinguished career, Dr. Singh became a trusted figure in breast surgery, guiding women and families through some of life’s most challenging diagnoses. Her work not only advanced surgical outcomes but also helped raise awareness of early detection and patient-centered treatment approaches in the region.
Outside the operating room, Dr. Singh was known for her kindness, mentorship, and strong community presence. Many former patients and coworkers have taken to social media to share stories of her warmth and the hope she inspired in others.
Her passing represents a significant loss to both the Long Island medical community and to the many lives she touched through her practice and advocacy for women’s health.
As West Babylon and the surrounding towns reflect on her legacy, one message resonates across every tribute — Dr. Shridevi Singh embodied what it means to serve with both skill and heart.
“Her dedication saved lives and changed lives,” one message read. “She gave people not just treatment, but courage.”
Dr. Singh’s memory will endure in the patients she healed, the colleagues she mentored, and the compassionate example she set for the next generation of physicians.
