Dr. Silverman has been my vascular doctor for seven years. He constantly orders ultrasounds to be sure that my Peripheral Vascular Disease is stable.
He is sure that I always know the results and if any follow up is necessary.
He is concerned and cares for his patients. He does everything possible to save patients from amputations. I experienced this personally.
He and his staff are professional , courteous, respectful at all times. I am well satisfied and pleased to be his patient.

Dr. Silverman as done 3 (or maybe 4) surgical procedures on me and there have been no issues with any of them. The man's a work-a-holic! Would I recommend him? YOU BETCHA! I trust him with my life! Are there times when you wait a while to get to see him? Yep, but that's one time when being first isn't a good thing. ;)

As you can see from these reviews, if you have a serious, big-bucks problem, this might be your guy. But, if it turns out you don't, then I suggest you save yourself the tsunami of aggravation that this little, insecure, self-important, hero-in-his-own-mind, 'Rocky Mountain canary' will most assuredly heap upon you. (The classic case of the social "loser" who was smart enough for med school, but still came out a loser, but found a mechanical skill that made him the hero he thinks he is.) Suggest strongly you see someone else first, to know you have a big problem already.

I highly recommend Dr. Silverman. I had an arterial blockage in my leg and he took very good care of me. He's efficient and skillful. His staff is the absolute best. As a retired RN, I found he and his staff to be friendly but always professional.

I had very pleasant experience today. The office staff were polite, considerate and explanatory. Taylor who did my Ultrasound was 4 stars. Pleasant, intelligent, patient and understanding. Explained everything professionally. The office manager has a great staff and I am sure that she and Dr. Silverman set the tone for this positive office environment of friendly, caring professional but most of all human people!!!

This is the most talented physician I have ever known. His deep knowledge of current research and his willingness to look at creative solutions is unmatched.. He cares deeply about his patients and finding every way possible to help them. He never takes the easy way out and he never gives up.
He and his remarkable staff are quite simply superior individuals who care about the physical and emotional well-being of every patient.

Dr. Silverman saved my husband's leg. When we went into the office my husband's circulation to his foot was not working. Dr. Silverman was great. he had the ultrasound done and sent us directly to the hospital and took care of the problem. He always listens to the patient.

Dr. Silverman performed vascular surgery on me to help improve my ability to walk without pain. Before surgery I was lucky to walk 75 ft. before much pain in my hips and being totally out of breath and having to stop and rest. I had had this ailment for many years with no one seeming to be able to discover the problem. Dr. Silverman was very thorough and methodically narrowed down the problem as blockage from my aorta to my groin, proceeded to discuss options with me and figured out how to address and cure...yes, after 15-20 years...cure my problem. It has now been 7 weeks since my surgery and I walked 1.25 miles this morning without stopping and without pain. Thank you Dr. Silverman....I would recommend this doctor to anyone having vascular issues.
He is very thorough and knowledgeable.

Beware of this office whilst Covid 19 is still here. Poor social distancing Two double seats just 2 feet from two other double seats. Patient temperatures checked only after sitting in waiting room for 25 minutes and person accompanying patient not temperature checked at all. Felt glad to be out of there

In 2015 I had an accident that resulted in compartment syndrome in my left thigh. The hospital brought Dr Silverman in on an emergency basis. He immediately performed an arthroscopic procedure, and implanted a stint which saved my leg and possibly my life. An accomplished surgeon, very professional. His office staff is also very professional and personable.Excellent follow up in the ensuing years. I highly recommend him.

I was referred to Dr. Silverman by my PCP. I had a serious issue with my right leg and was experiencing ulcers and pain. Family history of varicose veins and vein/blood related leg issues. His treatments and eventual surgery not only saved my leg but I am now living without pain. The swelling, ulcers and pain are gone! Other than some slight discoloration it looks and feels normal. He did and amazing job, was professional, courteous and has great sense of humor. Most importantly an amazingly talented and experienced doctor who helped me tremendously! Thank you Dr. Silverman!

He is a rude, discourteous doctor. I was sent to see him for a follow up ordered by my doctor. I felt, after waiting over an hour, that he was angry that I was even there!
Also, you can listen to my heart without having me take my bra up to my neck and lie flat. It was the worse doctor visit I’ve ever had, and I’m 71.
