Dr Silva has been my doctor for 20 years, a great doctor and a wonderful person. I saw that he retired very quickly. I hope he is well. I will miss seeing him.

When you ask for the doctor to return you call you are at the mercy of his nurses... who lack MD after their name will decide whether to forward it to the Doctor... Let alone being extremely unprofessional, child like..no bedside manner here....stop recommending them due to personnel

He has been my doctor for almost 30 years. He diagnosed me within minutes when no one else could figure it out. He's the best. Friendly, caring and great personality.

Here is that rare doctor who tells you the truth, speaks to you like you're an intelligent human being and has a sense of humor. He truly cares about his patients and what's best for them. Doesn't do or send for tests that are not necessary.

Horrible doctor! Condescending attitude and belittles the patient. Even the way he talks to his own staff is belittling. Needs to get rid of his God complex and may not be so bad.

I've had Dr Silva as a Doctor for 18+ years. In my opinion it would be difficult to find another physician with his knowledge. His manner is assuring and pleasant. In short I feel very fortunate to have a Doctor of this caliber.
