Dr. Sanford M Silverman, MD

He has been tremendously helpful in controlling my pain

when I first met Dr. Silverman I thought he was great and really cared. He told me I was a candidate for a spinal chord stimulator, and had other options and that he was going to help me. As soon as he met with the workers comp nurse his attitude immediately changed. It was so obvious that he now cared more about keeping the insurance costs down rather than helping me get better. I even spoke to his counselor Tammy about this. His front desk help, Fran, is the rudest person I ever met. When I told the doctor that she has been rude, nasty and hangs up, he Made it seem as if I were lying. He said No one else ever had a problem with her. Boy, I wish I had read the reviews prior to going there, seems like many people find her to be rude and nasty. I missed one appointment due to workers comp not providing transportion,as they always did, because I can no longer drive since my injury. A couple of weeks ago I called the morning of my appointment to let the Dr know I was at the hospital with… my mom, having critical emergency surgery. They were annoyed but told Me to come in the next day because he was leaving on vacation After that . I called the Dr. Again the next morning, explained my mother had complications and may die and that I can not leave her side. Office staff was very nasty and when I spoke to the Dr. Directly he sounded annoyed and had no empathy at all. I stayed at the hospital with my mom for 13 day, And never left her side, fortunately she passed away. I was devastated, I lost my best friend and love of my life. When I called the Dr. Office to find out when he was due back from vacation, Fran hung up on me. (Not the first time) I called back again and she stated, "you've been discharged." Click, she hung up. I was in total shock! A docor without empathy for his patient is a .........I will let you finish that thought. I have never received any correspondance from him. I would have been treated better by an enemy, during the most devastating time in my life, than by own doctor, who claimed he really cared. I understand that being a doctor is a business and if he didn't keep the workers comp costs down, they would not refer him patients. The Hippocratic oath, which doctors swear, states: to treat the ill to the best of ones ability, I wonder if Dr. Silvermans was changed to treat the insurance companies to the best of his ability. His actions, Or lack of, have shocked and devsated me more than he will ever know.

This is a monster. He is Hilter in disguise. I watched him abuse my 82 year old mother of using substances that came up negative in her urine. He would hold back pain relief and threatened her to noy treat her anymore. .

Staff is horrible and smell like an ashtray

This is a narcisstic doctor who lacks compassion . He uses his doctor title to put down others. I would never recommend him as a doctor . It's so sad that people like him would want to be a doctor and lack compassion .

Went to Dr Silverman for a back pain, was given an injection now Iam pain free. I even received a follow up telephone call asking how I was after the injection. Great office.

In less than 1 year Dr.Silverman made it possible for me to be almost pain free. I have recommended him to many people where I live. I think he is the best.

I was suffering with shoulder pain and numbness in my arm and fingers. After sending me for an MRI, Doctor Silverman gave me an injection in my neck. I have been pain free for almost two years now. I had suffered on and off for years with pain and the only other suggestions were surgery and pain pills. Thank goodness Dr. Silverman took the time to listen to me and didn't just try to send me on my way with a prescription like some doctors

This doctor changed my life. I was desperate, in pain, suffering from addiction. Dr. Silverman treated me and was the only doctor who figured out what my problem was.
