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.

Great experience!
I’m a new patient, so expecting lots of paperwork to fill out, I arrived plenty early. Check in was very quick, and the receptionist polite & helpful. I was taken in to see a nurse who asked a few questions before she brought me over to the x-ray tech. After my x-ray, perhaps 10 minutes passed before I was seen by Dr Silver, who explained his diagnosis, explained my options & provided detailed answers to my many questions,. My mind was truly at ease thanks to his patience and explanations put in easy to understand language. I’d also like to say that even though I was early and not expecting to be seen for at least 30 minutes, I was seen before my appointment time, and I actually was finishing my visit right at my scheduled appointment time. If you’re unfortunate enough to need an orthopedic surgeon, make the best of the situation & visit Dr Silver at OrthoNY.

Great demeanor and knowledge
Doctor Silver was able to see me quickly and determined that my issue was other than what I’d thought and prescribed a course of care that is resolving my condition. Great bed side manner too!

Fantastic visit
Dr. Silver and the team at the 5 care way in Saratoga were awesome! Dr was easy to talk with, knowledgeable, confident in his approach and respectful and reassuring in assessment treatment. Highly recommend Dr. Silver. I’d love to find a general practitioner as good.

Dr. Silver did replacement surgery of my shoulder. I was having discomfort and he discussed my problem. He sent me to a person who does pain management. He is kind, friendly and extremely competent in what he does.

He’s the best!
Dr Silver is always kind and knowledgeable. He did a knee replacement for me 12 yrs ago and he was the best then and still is. He always discusses what options are available so I can decide on what I feel is best for me.
