I went to the emergency room and they told me to contact dr. Slivka. I had broken my wrist in three different places. I went to him, it was absolutely the worst experience I've ever had with a physician. He was rude obnoxious inconsiderate and has no bedside manner. His rude comments we're absolutely ridiculous. I would not recommend this unprofessional jerk to anyone. At the end of my appointment he literally had me in tears. Because I have a bone disease. And I have broke several bones in the past. 1 rude comments he made was, you would think you would be used to it by now? I said I didn't know that you could get used to having broken bones and dealing with the pain that comes with all of that.? He was just so unkind passionate

Probably the worst doctor I've ever encountered. He clearly was not interested in seeing me, did not even look at my knee or the copy of the MRI i brought. He was on call and took 2 calls and I heard them - very rude to the patient and nurse on the phone. He had no plan or advise for me. No desire to go back.
