Dr. Frederic Joel Silverblatt, MD

Dr. Silverblatt has been caring for me both in and out of the hospital. He has considered and prescribed the very best of antibiotics. Unfortunately, I have become allergic to some, and we are struggling to find the right one. He has consistently prescribed ones that work very well on different types of bacteria found in my system, and has never given up yet!

Dr. Silverblatt was very patient and thorough when treating me for my tick bourne illness. He made time to answer all my questions as well. Definitely recommend.

Dr Silverblatt was very nice, as was his staff. However, after having a tick bite and six months of being ill and having classic severe lyme symptoms, I was told by Dr Silverblatt, "I probably had lyme but it is gone now, no need to treat with antibiotics". I continued to suffer for months until I got a second opinion from another Lyme Specialist. I was diagnosed and treated for Lyme and immediately saw improvement. I would not recommend this doctor if you suspect you have lyme. Disappointed!

After receiving negative test results for Lyme disease, Silverblatt refused to even consider the possibility that I had Lyme disease. For someone who said in an appointment that he has had Lyme disease three times in his life, he clearly has a skewed idea of what the disease is if he refuses to treat others for it. Many people with Lyme disease do not have positive test results. Over 300,000 Lyme disease cases in the US go undiagnosed each year and Silverblatt allows for many of his patients to go untreated for Lyme disease. My two appointments with him were a waste of time and only caused my symptoms to progress even more. Silverblatt thought that my raised lymph glands were indicative of a lymphoma. This was bizarre because of course my glands would be raised because I am fighting an infection! Also, I had seen a hematologist/oncologist months before who had labs drawn which came back as normal. Surely, the hematologist/oncologist would know if I had a lymphoma. Luckily, I was… diagnosed with Lyme disease by two Lyme-literate doctors and am now being treated. Silverblatt is a prime example of how you have to be your own doctor and fight for your own health because no one else will do it for you.

an absolutely wonderful doctor, that really spends the time to listen to you and your symptoms, I highly recommend this doctor.

Waste of time for chronic lyme, took phone call from dealerships about his car in middle of visit, time to retire totally disappointed

The BEST, caring, conscientious, informative and attentive.

Disappointed, I heard great reviews about Dr Silverblatt and was left with a very superficial prognosis that I felt was inaccurate and inconclusive plan of treatment.I wouldn't recommend him and I canceled further visits.
