Stuart L. Silverman's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Silverman has been my provider for seven years. He is the most understanding I have experienced when it comes to conditions that others blew off and ignored. This weekend I sent an email after a really rough night. I simply was hoping he would see it sooner on Monday morning. I was shocked when I got an email back quickly with a treatment plan.

The absolute BEST!!! I can't even begin to tell you my pathetic journey to finally finding the rheumatologist right for me: Dr. Stuart Silverman. I've been through six of them. Dr. Silverman was beyond wonderful---took time to give me the best exam I've ever had (short of my husband--who does amazing ones, too) and diagnosed me immediately. Really cared. Really, really intelligent and knows medicine!!!! And the staff is terrific too, Ian especially and also phlebotomist, Steven (hope I spelled his name right). Very, very grateful.

Kind doctor who is very knowledgable and validating. After going through over a decade of debilitating health problems, he finally validated some diagnoses (For any patients who may be similar-Early Sjogren's, CFS/ME, Dysautonomia/POTs/orthostatic hypotension, Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, spinal osteopenia, etc.) and has started me on treatments that are  improving my quality of life (Plaquenil for Sjogren's, he prescribed rifaxamin and atrantil for SIBO, etc.) I love how he is integrative incorporating both big pharma and holistic medicine, which takes an open minded provider who stays up to date with research. I contact him frequently for help and he's pretty responsive via email. He's very sweet and tries to find the humor in detrimental situations. Additionally, I love how he doesn't always make you test and treats the symptoms. I've been poked and prodded many times over the last decade to no avail with no answers or treatments that helped. Some of the tests I needed, I couldn't do due to my other conditions and he was kind enough to prescribe the treatment anyway. I highly recommend this doctor if you think you have rarely diagnosed disorders as he knows more than most, My only complaint is that he's very busy and has many patients so I have to remind him of things, but also I understand I'm a complex patient with many health issues.

Six weeks ago, I went to Dr. Silverman for my Chronic Active Epstein Barr Virus. It seems that the lab lost my bloodwork results but Silverman and/ or his office staff wouldn't acknowledge this. Worse, Dr. Silverman wanted me to schedule a new appt to discuss a treatment plan, which made no sense since the bloodwork (as he finally acknowledged) had been lost. He seems very out of it. At the front desk they were giggling about how out of it he was during my visit. Very strange and demoralizing. All in all, over a six-week period, I called about a dozen times, including vms and emails to the office manager (who didn't reply), and am now giving up and looking for a new immunologist.

I wish I had checked here before seeing him. The bad reviews are correct: he should retire. I'm not sure if he was ever a competent doctor, but he certainly isn't anymore. Very full of himself and ignored the bad effects of his suggested treatments. Another rheumatologist also contradicted his diagnosis.

My first meeting with Dr. Silverman called to mind the real-life House, the TV Sherlockian diagnostician who gives patients answers that have eluded everyone. Dr. Silverman is that without the character’s acerbity or drama. He is intelligent, direct, yet compassionate and respectful, and really took the time to listen and asked me questions. He also has a sense of humor and is cool. His wonderful staff members I met were professional, kind, and instantly likable. I like how he provides a full-range of solutions, especially holistic ones, makes communication accessible, and how his office is well-run and organized.

His knowledge is unmatched. He answered all my questions, and I had many. Because of him my osteoporosis has improved to almost osteopenia and I'm not finished yet with my Forteo program. I have progressed from first diagnosis 27%. I trust him, and his decisions. My quality of life is much improved due to his advice. Top notch in his field!!!

office staff is impossible to get into contact with, and as a result I was unable to get my prescription refilled- the pharmacy can't get into contact with the office, I can't get in contact with the office.... I got suddenly cut off the medicine and suffered withdrawal as a result.

This office is a joke! He used to be good but he NEVER RETURNS CALLS HIS FRONT OFFICE DOESNT EVEN KNOW WHAT THEIR DOING! This Dr started at a 4star rating to below 5 stars! I I were you please choose a office that really cares about you. Free yourself from being frustrated. That’s all they did to me the last 3 yes I finally Quit HIM! I LOATHE THIS OFFICE!

The worst man you’ve ever met in your life. Very rude. Does not answer questions. We had specified so many questions and was taken aback and did not address them. Please do not go to him. Potentially ruined my fathers life and causes lasting damage.
