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.

Horrible experience. He doesn't listen. A Dr I had retired so I was referred to him. He completely changed the treatment plan. He rewrote notes that were incorrect. I do not recommend. He does not care about his patients

Best kind of scientist
Dr. Slivnick did an amazing job explaining my husband’s condition and how one thing led to everything else. No one had been so clear for us before. He had clearly familiarized himself with our complicated case before he met with us, very professional. Would definitely recommend him to friends and family.

Poor listener
Whether doctor or lawyer, he is the type that only wants to talk but not listen. Maybe I caught him on a bad day. That's possible. But was not satisfactory for me. He also gave me conflicting information from what I was told by my previous doctor.

Frustrating
I went to see the doc not realizing it is considered an outpatient facility being that is in an office building. I waited 50 min for my first apt. The doc was nice, but it was a lot of information plus a bit confusing. The worse part was they gave me incorrect information regarding my blood work saying they can send it to quest . They took many tubes of blood, and than I had to go get it at quest where I wanted to go for financial reasons. They still charged my insurance company which I told the not to run my blood, but they did anyway. Overall the experience was stressful and upsetting. I felt they didn’t listen nor care about me as a patient.

The Best ! A caring and very knowledgeable Doctor in my opinion. Dealing with any aspect of cancer is not a fun time but having someone in your corner with a calming influence is a main key.

I have been seein Dr.Slivnick since after my Open Heart Surgery where in 2011 where I became anemic. He is the most thorough Dr. I have ever seen and takes the time with you. I recently saw him per my PCP due to extreme fatigue.Again he recommended tests and can have blood work in his office plus I was anemic and had infusion in his office. He sent letters to 3 of my Drs. that I’m seeing due to GI, Rheumotolgist and my pulmonary Dr. He keeps on top of things and so does his kind staff.

I have an unusual blood cancer. Dr Slivnick identified it suggested an excellent doctor for a second opinion who confirmed the diagnosis and treatment. The treatment has been effective and the cancer is now under control. Dr Slivnick has been very caring, kind and extremely competent.
