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.

Great doctor
Dr. Beck Silvanos came very highly recommended to me. Everyone that I know that has been to him for his services has been very well pleased based on those recommendations I made the choice to make an appointment with him as well. He has a great bedside manner and I sure do like the way that he closed my incision when he replaced my knee Therapy went great based on his recommendation overall on a scale of one to 10 I would give him a 10 I think he’s a fantastic doctor.

Everyone is extremely helpful and nice, and always on time. I had right shoulder surgery about five years ago, not only was it successful, but my shoulder is better than it ever was. Treatment on my left shoulder hasn’t required surgery, I can do things that hurt a few years ago, with no pain now.

He was very attuned to my needs. He was very upfront and told us like it was. He was highly recommended to me by another fabulous doctor, who knows my whole family. I would recommend him to anyone who asks me if I know one to see.

Worth the drive
We live over an hour away from the Gainesville office. The thing that stands out for me about Dr. V, aside from his knowledge, is that no matter what my questions are, he is happy to answer and gives me an answer that I can understand (not medically knowledgeable here!). I leave knowing more than when I came and know what our next step is.

The best of the best!
Doctor 'V' is very professional and thorough while being kind and attentive to his patient's concerns. My hip replacement with Dr. 'V' went very well in every way. No problems or issues. Dr. 'V' is a perfectionist and gets it right the first time. Thanks doctor!
