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 ENT!

Excellent Visit
Dr. Silver listen to my concerns and based on examination developed a plan for me to deal with sinus issues. A few days into that plan, and I have achieved relief of my symptoms.

Quality Care
I used Dr. Silver as a provider after an unexpected trauma left me with a “broken nose” needing septum repair and turbine reduction. My procedure was more complicated bc I have a coagulation disorder where I had to coordinate with my hematologist. Dr. Silver made this anxiety producing experience less traumatic. The pain management was exceptional and I barely needed anything. The packing discomfort was tolerable. I was able to return to work in a week. The follow up visits were fairly quick with all questions answered. I would recommend Dr. Silver to anyone, regardless of the reason they need an ENT. Office staff and the surgery center also did a great job of coordinating care.

Dr. Silver was top notch!
Dr. Silver’s visit was great. He listened, discussed pros and cons of treatment plan, and made a referral to his colleague, who was also very good. Impressed with quick access and follow-up with office staff in scheduling follow-up. So far great ENT facility and providers

Great ENT Specialist
Dr Silver has been consistently effective, considerate and prompt in dealing with my ENT issues. He has successfully treated my sinusitis, blocked ear tube after flying, chest congestion and sinus headaches. I highly recommend him.He has great 'bedside manner' with patients, though I cared a lot more that he quickly fixed my ENT health problems. Dr Silver also manages my sublingual drop allergy therapy, which has been a big benefit for my overall health.
