He was excellent. He listened. He talked. He cared. He was, what's the word? I can't, I haven't spoken so I don't remember everything. He was very helpful. He was just excellent. That's all I can say. He was good in every way possible.
clear and straightforward
Dr. Silverman was great. He really came highly recommended. My only issue is that I was late being seen, which caused me to sit in more traffic back to NH. I do, however, understand that things like this are often beyond anyone's control.
He was attentive and provided good feedback to me. Would recommend him.
It was fine.
I don't think it's reasonable to ask a patient who has just had a stroke to wait 4 months for an appointment.
I thought the provider was very kind. He listened to my concerns and was empathetic. He went over my records. I only wish he had more to define what is actually going on with my arteries.
excellent
Thank you so much Dr silverman treated my mom with respect and patiently answered all of our questions
I was very impressed that Dr. Silverman came out to the waiting room to get the patients.
