I could not get in to see my doctor so they put me with Dr Dasilva. It was the first time I have seen him and I was very pleased. He was friendly and thorough. He reassured me and even did an unplanned injection. He took his time and was… just nice!

Dr. DaSilva is the first doctor to take the time to explain why surgery of any kind could not be performed on my mom. I'm very thankful for his knowledge & concern & rerouted to the best measure for pain control. Thank you!!

Dr. Dasilva is the best. I had a complete knee replacement in June 2023. Couldn't have gone better. His staff is excellent.

First appointment visit today. Called in about one minute after checking in for my am visit. Went quickly into radiology for a couple of films. Dr Dasilva came into room after about ten minutes after reviewing X-rays. Very friendly and personable. Did a quick thorough exam of my injured shoulder and discussed probable causes of my pain ( eg torn rotator cuff ) and the need to get an MRI for definitive proof of soft tissue injury as X-rays were negative for any obvious fracture. All in all an excellent encounter and I look forward to future diagnosis and treatment.
