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.

Pain after surgery
The worst experience I have ever had with any doctor. Dr. Lawrence Silverberg was to correct a bunion and a hummer toe. After the surgery I ended up with the same bunion, hammertoe and a hardware. My toes are crooked. There is a strong pain in my foot and it hurts every time I take a step. I am far worse than I went in for. Horrible doctor, stay away!

I would not recommend silverberg as he failed to solve my problem, showed no interest in helping me, and gave me wrong advice which I learned from another doctor. Going to him was absolutely a waste of my money!

This Dr, who I don't know qualifies as a dr., as podiatrists are not md's, nor DO's, so other than fitting someone with a insert based on the mold of their feet, do not provide a service at all. An orthopedic surgeon, can accomplish 100x more, with a greater level of expertise, precision, and knowledge. This DPM was the terrible, the worst experience I have ever had. He must have gotten his degree from a cracker jack box. There was no level of understanding of my problem nor the skill level

Don't allow podiatrist Lawrence Silverberg to operate on your feet if you want to be able to walk without pain. I have been living with pain as a result of his surgery, and it is not right that he continues to practice medicine after all the harm he has caused to patients like myself.
