Horrible personality. Does not care about patients. Talks bad about patients after they leave. Office staff super unfriendly. Manager should retire as too old and cranky.

No compassion, no manner, or professional etiquette , won’t listen and didn’t even attend to my complaint of pain or high blood pressure they have taken in their clinic if I’m about to drop dead. He should be investigated for what he does. Please , it will be very helpful to think and reconsider your choice before going to this doctor.

This *person has absolutely not one ounce of compassion, patience,manners or kindness. I suspect he’s a little shady too, as he only refers you to his friends of the same religious faith.

This jerk asked me if I had a plan for my medical treatment. When informed that I did not, as my other Doctors had not made one, he responded thait "people who don't a plan are weak." This doctor (lower case) was rude and rushed, and behaved like I did not matter. AVOID- and read other reviews

Oh my goodness, what a nightmare. Dr Silverman is the worst experience I've ever had with a doctor. I've seen a lot of doctors in my life believe me. He supposed to be a Carpal Tunnel doctor. But he is full of it. He does not know what he is doing. If your health is important to you, go to a real doctor. One star is too much to rate him.
