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 Silverstein replaced both my hips. He is a remarkable surgeon. Terrific office staff and my meetings with him were informative and reassuring. Hospital care following surgery at St Francis was excellent. Can't recommend him particularly and CJRI strongly enough. Thank you, Dr S!

Eric Silverstein is great! He’s operated on me twice over the years. Total knee and hip.Very easy to talk to, explains everything so well. No issues, would highly recommend him to anyone seeking orthopedic surgery. Office staff is very friendly and accommodating and appointments run on time, no rushing you through..

Great experience ... twice!
I've had two procedures by Dr. Silverstein. And each time, the results were pretty close to perfect. Office visits are a pleasure and professional -- from staff to Dr. Silverstein himself. First procedure was a rod implant in right leg; almost easy peasy! Second was a total knee replacement. Thankfully, Dr. Silverstein approved my doing PT ahead of the surgery (as well as after, of course) making recovery that much easier. Highly recommend!

Highly recommended!
Dr. Silverstein and his staff were very personable and professional during our meetings. He explained the hip replacement procedure thoroughly including what to expect post-operatively. I had few issues with the surgical site and have been pain-free in the joint since the operation. He and his staff were timely in responding to my requests for insurance documentation and records. I highly recommend him for any joint replacement procedure!

Tough hip reconstruction
This is my second surgery with the great Dr. Silverstein. I cannot recommend him highly enough. I had a very complicated hip revision with my sciatic nerve involved. I could barely move when going in for surgery and the minute I awoke from a long surgery, I felt immediate relief. Dr. Silverstein and his entire staff showed me great care, gave me as much time as needed to explain things clearly and treated me with patience and kindness. I feel so lucky to be his patient

Exceptional experience. Exceptional surgeon.
Dr. Silverstein replaced both of my hips, a month and a half apart. I'm 52, and had been in progressive stages of pain for three years. Relief was almost immediate following each surgery. Don't bother considering other surgeons. And don't wait until you're in agony. Get it done. Exceptional results. Great team. Could not be happier.

My mother (91) fell and broke her femur, her hip and her pelvis in two places. She passed recently at 97. She was forever thankful that Dr. Silverstein was her doctor. She walked fine as long as she lived. Amazing, amazing skilled, brilliant doctor. We can never thank him enough.

Dr. Eric Silverstein is a brilliant surgeon. It took me 8 1/2 years to find this talented Dr. whom I can never say thank you enough to. I was to the point where I could barely walk, stand, and drive when I met him in 2018. I had a large cyst behind my knee which had displaced my major nerves and artery. I had a hole which he patched with pigskin. I had 100% confidence as I was going into the operating room. He was the only surgeon who knew how to fix my crippling condition. I’m not one to recommend to many Drs. but this Dr. is truly talented and well spoken. His whole office team was so efficient and respectful. I thank God that another talented surgeon had taken the time to direct me to him. I am forever grateful for being a patient of this Drs. Please don’t ever second guess your decision to work with him.

My mother was turned away by other surgeons after breaking her femur several years ago. At that time, she was already in her nineties, and after an exam, Eric expressed confidence that he could do a hip revision and femur replacement in 51/2 hours. Voila. My mother will turn 97 this year and she is living alone with little assistance. Highly educated and highly skilled, Dr. Silvertein's greatest attributes are compassion and listening skills. Now I am referring a dear friend who's 82 for knee replacement surgery, and I am receiving the anticipated reception from Andra that my mother and I got from Debbie several years ago.

Dr Silverstein is a great doctor and surgeon. Prior to my operation last Friday, he walked me through everything and was very reassuring. His confidence gave me confidence in his abilities, but he wasn't cocky or unwilling to explain everything in detail and give me the time of day. Two weeks out of Knee surgery and I am already walking.

After 4 long years of living in extreme pain due to a bad hip implant, I finally found Dr. Silverstein, who diagnosed me with an infection in the hip joint area which caused the hip to not heal correctly. He went in and removed the old hip components and eventually re-inserted a new hip and ever since I have been in zero pain and finally have my life back. Before meeting Dr. Silverstein, my life was all pain and playtime outside with my kids was pretty much non-existent.

The whole experience was exceptional. Dr. Silverstein's treatment of my arthritic knee elliminated pronounced pain I've had for months and subtle pain for years. He is a terrific communicator, adept at quickly diagnosing root causes, pragmatic in his recommendations, and respectfully candid with his views. Best surgeon I've ever met or been a patient of without exception.
