Stay away. This Dr is no good. He removed my gallbladder and I caught MRSA in his nasty hospital, Samaritan, which is another place you should try and stay away from. Then while in the hospital something broke inside me to leak bile and he had to do another surgery. That was Feb. 2013. Then he had do another surgery in Jan. 2014 to fix a hernia with a mesh. I’m in pain and he said that was normal and gave nothing for the pain bc Samaritan frowns upon pain killers. He also did an surgical procedure on my wife and screwed that up too. I will never go to Samaritan or Dr Silk ever again. Even if I’m dying!
