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.

The Best
My son and I have been seeing Dr Silver for over 30 years. He was God Sent for my son. He listens to my concerns and helps find a solution. He has helped improved my sons health so much. He is the nicest person you could meet, not just as a doctor but as a person. My son loves him and trusts him so much. I also have great trust in him. He feels more like a friend because he takes an interest in our lives and we can talk like friends not just patient & Doctor. This makes a huge difference in the Doctor - Patient relationship. I Think my son would feel like he lost a family member if he could not have him as his doctor anymore. Thank You more than you know Dr Silver.

Dr. Silver did an excellent job extracting a clot from the ear drum in my one good ear. The clot had adhered to the drum and had to be extracted very carefully. Dr. Silver was very gentle and took his time to remove the clot without injuring the drum. He explained what he was doing as he worked and helped me stay calm during a very uncomfortable procedure. I would certainly recommend him to anyone.
