Reviews
Dr. Silvers is very sincere in the work that he does for this patients as well as knowing his craft. I've never seen doctors quite much like him that has a since of humor, and always willing to help you in any shape, form, are fashion. I tilt my hat to and excellent doctor but most of all a caring doctor.
Great visit with Dr. Silvers. Prompt, Professional & Efficient. Need more Doctor’s like him.
Love Dr. David Silvers he is a very professional doctor that cares about his patients, has good bed side manners. Calls you back when you make arrangements for him to call you about a matter. I really can’t say enough good things about him because everything I have experienced has been good! Happy and appreciate having him for my doctor. Darlene C.
Dr. Silvers and his staff provided me with excellent care. They were professional and compassionate.
I am giving Dr. Silvers a 5 star rating. In reference to the receptionists , they have failed my expectations, they don't answer the phones when patients are calling in . One elderly lady made an inperson visit. She complained that she called for many days off and on with no answer or call back. She explained to the receptionist that she decided to make a personal appearance to schedule an appointment. They also spend a lot of time chatting with one another and letting the patients wait.
