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.

Superb service and personal attention
Dr Silverman has always (for over 25 years) been personable and interested in my welfare while performing a thorough exam and attending to issues found therein. I recommend him to others.

AWFUL - DO NOT GO HERE
Absolutely no customer service, no respect for our time, doctor couldn't have talked faster to get us out of there, never received visit paperwork so figuring out the prescribed medicine is a crapshoot. Cannot get a live body on the phone except when transferred to the wrong department because they can't be bothered getting you to the right person. WORST OFFICE EVER.

Knows his 'stuff'
He usually has Medical students in the OV and walks through the exam and calls out many skin items for their education. This thorough scan provides assurance that the exam is comprehensive.

My son is special needs. Dr. Silverman always spoke to my son and showed respect for him and whatever response my son had. He showed patience and we very much appreciated this.

Great with kids!
Dr Silverman is a pro with kids! My daughter did not want him to examine her skin condition but he brought out the Kermit the Frog puppet and that did the trick. He also was very reassuring about her condition and provided thoughtful options.

Very nice doctor and informative
Dr.Silverman was very informative during my one year olds appointment, overall i had a really good experience in the office... front desk and MA were very nice and helpful. I feel a lot of relief after seeing Dr.Silverman as a first time mom any weird thing on your child makes you go crazy, but I'm glad everything is okay. Thank you Dr.Silverman!

Excellent dermatologist.
I have been a patient of Dr. Silverman for almost 25 years. He is an excellent dermatologist. He listens to his patient's concerns, is very thorough in his examination, and my visits are never rushed. Highly recommend.

All staff were helpful and pleasant, from the front desk to the medical assistants. Dr. Silverman has an excellent bedside manner in addition to his extensive expertise, which made an appointment for several difficult conditions very easy for my daughter with special needs. She was happy and confident throughout the appointment, which is a first for her. Dr. Silverman gave us a detailed treatment plan and explained everything very patiently in a way that my daughter could understand, which is crucial for her cooperation with treatment at home. The medical assistant also gave us a list of helpful hints and contact information for home care and the follow up, which is so very helpful when dealing with multiple issues.

I have been seeing Dr. Silverman for over 15 years now...absolutely one of the best doctors in any specialty that I have ever used as a medical professional. He now sees my wife and has seen my three children whenever skin conditions became an issue. Thorough, patient and professional (while still friendly) he is a pleasure to have on our side.
