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.

Dr. Silva was very friendly. He explained to my Mom everything what the procedure entailed. He made my Mom and me feel very comfortable. The plus of course was him explaining everything to my Mom in Spanish.

Dr. Silva is a caring physician. He smiles and makes you feel comfortable. Unfortunately, the office team at Dr. Gentile’s office where he practices twice a week, are not reliable. . I requested a copy of the progress notes and tests je of December 8 and also to talk to the doctor about a new prescribed eye drop and never received a response. . I believe that Dr. Silva is unaware of the damage the office team did to our patient doctor relationship. Sorry Dr. Silva! I will recommend him as a good doctor but in a different office where he practices.
