He did two lumpectomies on me. My breast looks great. My husband was referred to him by his PCP for surgery. Dr. Silk did more tests and showed the PCP that surgery was unnecessary.

Nothing good to say about this dr. He walked out of the room during our appointment 3 times to answer his personal phone (meanwhile theres a sign asking you to turn yours OFF) told me what I already knew, gave me options I already knew I had, and told me to "pick one". Did not tell me what was in my best interest, which was the best option for me as I obviously went to a dr since I DIDN'T KNOW, and again his phone rings, walks out and leaves me in the room. I had to go ask the receptionist if my appt was over with, and he walked out and rudely says "we are done i sent over a prescription- any more questions?" Terrible bed side manner! Made me feel stupid, stressed and way worried than I was walking in. I still don't even know what to do or what is wrong. Im so frustrated and upset. This is the opposite of what a doctor is there for!! Avoid this man!

Went for cyst removal, great back. Repeated surgery, weeks later I go back I can feel a stich, oh no, no stitch. Yes there was, it became infected had it removed elsewhere! Never again.
