Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Silver diagnosed me as bipolar after one visit and a ten question generic quiz. He immediately put me on a combination of antidepressants and medication. He never once referred me to a psychiatrist my requests. Dr. Silver did substantial harm, as did Northwest Primary Care.

I have taken my 97 y/o father to Dr. Silver for years. He has always treated both of us with kindness, patience, and compassion. He has been level-headed in his advice and has given ear to our questions or thoughts.

I've been seeing Dr. Silver for nearly 30 years and he's always been professional and very tuned in to what my issues have been. He's willing to listen and always has a plan that involves follow up and review of progress. You can tell he care!

Been meaning to write this review for a while. About 3.5 years ago, went in to NWPC clinic and saw Dr. Silver for first time regarding some intestinal issues I'd been having but hadn't gotten any answers for. Within 5 minutes of meeting me, he was trying to prescribe me anti-depressants, rather forcefully, despite me insisting I felt fine mentally. For me, Dr. Silver represents everything wrong with modern doctors. I would not go back to that clinic.
