Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Saw Dr. Silfee in the ER at Holy Cross hospital. He was so knowledgeable and very informative. He made me feel at ease while there and really has wonderful bedside manner!! I am thankful he was doctor during such an uncomfortable situation!

Allen was super helpful during my ER visit. He was very personable and explained things well. I was having abdominal pain and there wasn't a clear cause. He did a good job of looking through all the possibilities. He wasn't able to pinpoint the exact cause of my pain, but was able to give me medication to help somewhat and gave me a recommendation for a specialist. It was a super busy night in the ER, but he took the time to really think through what could be causing my pain and how to eliminate different possibilities. He also gave me super thorough discharge instructions. I don't think I have ever gotten so many papers from a doctor.

Dr. Silfee recently took care of me at Holy Cross Germantown. He is very personable and friendly, and did a superb job stapling my head back together (literally) and keeping me informed throughout the procedure about what he was doing at each step. Very good bedside manner. Very good experience overall (considering the circumstances).
