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.

My experience with this doctor is the worst, so be forwarned. There is a lack of good doctors within this specialty but I would encourage you to get multiple referrals instead of choosing this doctor without looking for a better one.

Dr. Silva is an excellent Endocrinologist. He is always friendly and caring. He takes the time to visit with you and listen to any concerns you have. He carefully explains things in terms that you can understand. His staff is also friendly and caring. It is obvious that he is a superb doctor because his waiting room is always full and you have to book appointments far out. These are all obvious signs of how well liked and respected that he is. I recommend him to my family and all friends.

I have been Dr. Silvia's patient for 20 years I think that speaks for it's self. He is compassionate & kind. At times he can seem hurried that is only because he has many patients & that tells me he is an excellent Dr. It's like a restaurant with a parking lot full of cars that tells me they have Excellent food. Dr. Silva is an excellent physician.
