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.

A Life Saver
In 2017, I had a serious biking accident which resulting in a displaced fracture at C3 and C4. Dr. Silver was on call at the hospital when I came into the emergency room and what a blessing that was. He was so kind and so down to earth. He patiently explained the surgery and put all my worries to rest. The emergency surgery lasted 4 1/2 hours, until the small hours of Sunday morning. Yet Dr. Silver was there by my bedside at 8 am, checking on me. Fortunately, my recovery was fast, complete, and I've had no complications since then. It's impossible to express the gratitude I have for Dr. Silver and his team.

Need a Great Neurosurgeon? Dr Silver is the Best!
Dr Silver is very prompt, caring and compassionate. If you follow his instructions you will do great. He has done two surgeries on my back, one in 1997 on my low back and one in 2018 on cervical back I was satisfied. Both involved nerves, when he finished the nerve pain was gone as he said.I highly recommend Dr Silver.

When I went to Dr Silver I had no clue what to expect. All through the workman's comp and insurance waiting to be paid not once was he short tempered or in a hurry. Always professional and caring. One of the nicest, caring doctors out there. Yes, go! Recommend him.

I HAVE BEEN A PATIENT OF DR SILVER FOR MANY YEARS AND HAVE HAD LUMBAR AND CERVICAL SURGERY PREFORMED BY HIM WITH EXCELLENT RESULT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM. HE IS KIND, COMPASSIONATE AND HIGHLY SKILLED. I LIVE 5 HOURS AWAY FROM THIS SURGEON AND IT IS WELL WORTH THE TIME AND TRIP TO SEE HIM.

Wow! I don't know what I can possibly say to express how amazing Dr Silver as. He listens, really listens. He pays attention, asks questions, and answers all of yours whether they're small or the major ones. He doesn't pull any punches, but he also doesn't say anything deliberately to scare you like some doctors can. Go. He's the right one.

I had C5C6 discectomy and fusion in November 2015. Surgery was a success. Dr. Silvers had great bedside manners and always spent enough time with me explaining in detail my condition and procedure. I would recommend him to anyone! ??

Waiting was not problem because spent as much time as needed when saw physician. Did not feel rushed. He preformed 3 surgeries One cranial, 2 spinal over 6 years. The outcomes were excellent and surpassed expectations. Traveled over 700 miles for both spinal operations because of success with first experience..
