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 Silberg did 2 meniscus surgeries and recently did both knee replacements six months apart. I thought I wasn't healing fast enough and he said I was doing better than good I was doing great. I guess I was being too hard on myself but he assured me I would be fine in a short time and I am. He is a wonderful caring surgeon. His nurses and staff are wonderful as well. I proudly tell everyone about Dr Silberg.

Dr. Silberg has the best bedside manner. He listens and is never in a hurry. He is encouraging and compassionate. He even smiles and might just crack a joke which helps to put you at ease. I would highly recommend him. My only complaint is his front desk people are rude and appear to not like being there.

Outstanding Orthopedic doctor. Replaced my right knee more then 8 years ago and I’ve have never had any problems with the knee. I recently saw him again for a badly sprained left ankle and have fully recovered my use of it, that’s a big deal when your 83 years old.

I had a total knee replacement surgery in Dec. 2019. I am thrilled with the results. His surgery was quick and my recovery time is almost as fast. After 7 days, I was almost completely pain free with minimal swelling. I haven't felt this great in many many years. I have always been able to get in and out of my appointments in a timely manner. I have found Dr. Silberg to have a very pleasant bed side manner and is very knowledgeable in his field.

Dr. Silberg did a total hip replacement on me. He is by far the most attentive, compassionate not to mention skillful doctor I’ve come to know in my 52 years. He had to remove 3 screws before the replacement that had been there for 20 years. I’ve sent my brother-in-law and half his family there and they all love him too. He’s worth the wait if you can’t get an immediate appointment. Thank you again Dr. Silberg.

Dr. Silberg performed arthroscopic knee surgery. He did an outstanding job, and speaks to his patient before the surgery and your family member after the surgery. Dr. Silberg is very professional, and cares about his patients. Dr Silberg takes the time to listen to his patient and answer your questions and/or concerns. Thank you Dr Silberg

Dr. silberg is simply the best around and I wouldn’t go to anyone else. My wife and I have had multiple surgeries the past 2 years with perfect results! To those who think the wait times are too long or it takes too long to get an appointment...... there’s a reason..... he’s the best around. If you are looking for a quick fix, roll the dice and go somewhere else. My advice is focus on the long term results. It’s worth the wait and you won’t be disappointed.

Dr Silberg is absolutely amazing! The only problem is you have to wait forever to get a appointment with him. So if you are in pain plan to wait to get in. They will put you on a waiting list. I could get a hip injection in February, there is nothing available until March. Now mind you they did offer me March 10th, due to work I couldn't have day off. Now I have to wait until the end of March.

I had a total knee replacement done by Dr. Silberg. I had been looking for a knee surgeon and two of my other physicians both recommended Dr. Silberg. I am still in the process of healing and the scare left from the surgery is barely visible. Everyone who sees my knee comments what a beautiful job he did. I believe I will be needing surgery on my other knee and Dr. Silberg is the only doctor I would consider. You need to make your appointments well in advance, he is very busy.

You may make an appointment to see the doctor but that does not mean you will see him. He sent in his PA who said he was just reading my post op report and then proceeded to ask how my knee was doing (I had hand surgery). Then he incorrectly guessed another body part. By then I highly doubted his ability to read. And on top of that he continuously touched my shoulder and leg, which I found incredibly irritating. I never got to see Dr. Silberg that day. I don't know if I will return.
