Silverman Stuart MD

I agree 100% with all the 5-​star reviews of Dr. Silverman. I thank him for going into medicine every time I see him. His entire staff is fantastic.

I had no trouble getting the first appointment but it was all down hill from them. The appointment was rushed and he had his techs draw blood for which I never got the results. I signed a release for a transfer of my records from my doctor in the east and the staff never processed it. After multiple calls to the practice with multiple promises and excuses I asked to speak with the doctor. He called and started going on about how he can’t get the perscription for ambien, which had nothing to do with me. He promised everything would go smoothly as the recetionist was fired. A month later the same nonsense was going on and after I yelled at his office manager that it had been 3 months and all they give me are excuses and promises but nothing changes, I asked to speak with the doctor. He never called… A mess of a practice for sure. Completely shocking that a medical doctor would allow a practice to be run so poorly and for him to be so rushed, confused and disorganized…

Dr. Silverman was able to diagnose and treat my condition which had baffled over 10 other doctors. If I’d listened to the other doctors, I’d still be very sick and my life would be in shambles. Dr. Silverman spent 45 minutes with me on my first visit, carefully going over my condition. Every follow-​up since has also been wonderful and he is also always available via email. His knowledge of fatigue conditions is extensive. I cannot recommend him enough.

Dr. Silverman consistently shows up late for appointments, and as a result, has spent very little time with me. He rushes me through my questions, offers very little details about test results, and then rushes right back out of the room. When I’ve managed to capture his attention for more than five minutes, he has been knowledgeable and given me some help, but I leave feeling as though I had to fight for it.
Additionally, while his front desk staff is courteous and helpful, the woman in charge of prescriptions/​insurance coverage (Nina) is atrocious. She is completely unresponsive by phone and by email, and has even flat out lied to me about contacting my insurance for approval on prescriptions, only for me to find out it never happened, and my insurance was actually quite willing to cover the medication with a recommendation from the doctor.

Dr. Silverman is a wonder doc when it comes to fibromyalgia (I’m sure he’s excellent with other conditions, too). When I showed up to his office after being advised to see if fibromyalgia might be causing my symptoms, I was so tired all the time I was falling asleep driving, in so much pain there were days I couldn’t move or sleep at night, and generally miserable and unsure what to do. He figured out that restless leg syndrome was causing my sleep trouble right off the bat, and gave me something that let me sleep normally – no more fatigue. Then he figured out something to stop my migraines, and we worked together to figure out a combination of treatments that would improve my pain. I’m a hundred times happier and more functional than when I first went to him, and can’t recommend him more.

Dr. Silverman is the best doctor I have ever seen. I had a problem with fatigue for years that no one could figure out. Dr. Silverman figured it out in *one* visit and after following his recommendations, I feel better than I have in years. Thank you! His assistant, India, is very good and efficient. You won’t find a better doctor.

I have to agree with N.J. I didn’t find him arrogant personally, but I ended up paying about a ton of $ for tests which then amounted to nothing. He doesn’t like responding to phone, so patients are encouraged to email. Well he doesn’t always respond to email either. My net result was to pay $ 1400 out of pocket for tests, to have him tell me to buy myself a home traction kit for $ 12, which looks like a bra on a coat hangar, and not shockingly, does nothing. I sent a follow up asking him if he had any other diagnoses or recommendations for me, considering the amount of $ spent, and he never responded.
