Dr. Silver has saved my life 5 times. He is compassionate, skilled and knowledgeable. I belief that he is the leader in his field of expertise. He remembers my medical history without ever opening a chart. He checks on me in the hospital even if he isn't rhe attending physician. A physician like him is one in a million.

Very unprofessional, he writes control substance medications for his friends who are not his patients, the office is an unorganized mess, the staff is unprofessional as well. Dr. Silvers is a quack, he should not be able to practice psychiatry, my educated assumption that his patients are better off seeing ANY other mental health provider, also Dr. Silvers is sneaky and tries to up-charge his patients for his own selfish greediness. STAY AWAY. Plus- He is allegedly being charged by three patients for sexual harassment. He accosted me in his office by exposing his thighs (inner and outer) Buttocks, and lower abdomen, which were all heavily tattooed, very inappropriate behavior. His licence should be revoked.

It was 3 days before Christmas and I woke up at 4am with an uncontrollable nose bleed, stemming from a sinus infection. Had to ride in ambulance to USA ER, where I spent 15 hrs and then another 13 hours in ICU . Dr Silver performed a 6.5 hr surgery and he and his team were the best ! I was home for Christmas. God bless him and his team !
