He goes above and beyond in every aspect! He does not just look after medical needs. He looks after the whole family and their needs beyond the operating or procedure room. He definitely exemplifies the “Hypocratic Oath” He has been a God send to our family

He is very coompassionate and understanding the needs of the patient. More doctors should be like him. I can't say enough good things about him.

Extremely caring and is in the top of his field. I trust him completely with my 9-year-old child and her diagnosis of Crohn's disease

Wonderful, compassionate. Absolutely would recommend him. If only he could be cloned! He helped both my special needs son as well as an infant I fostered (child had reflux, food allergies, was on Neocate and Neocate Jr, now doing fine with g.i. issues). He picked up on neuro stuff at first glance at infant. Wonderful person!

In these hurried times it is rare to find a doctor that spends time and listens to you. Dr. Sylvester is never in a rush, sits down and gives me and my child all his attention. He has made my child feel much better and we are very thankful to him.

He's been my doctor for a long time and he has always been fantastic. While the ladies working in the GI department at CCMC have caused me much grief and pain he has always been kind, caring, and did all he could to try and give me my life back.
