Matthew G Silva's Online Review Report Card

I saw Dr. Silva for my hernia. He did such a fantastic job of explaining the diagnosis, what my options were and the types of surgical techniques he would use to repair it. My recovery was much faster than I expected and I'm back to doing the same things I did before. The whole office was so caring and patient with me. Overall great experience!

Husband was patient for simple sebaceous cyst removal from the back. He is diabetic and has A-fib. I questioned the decision to put him under general anesthesia and I feel it wasn't necessary. He expressed concerns about certain meds as a pain reliever due to adverse reaction, but was given a script for it anyway. He was offered meds for pain before surgery and declined, but the nurse still had him take it. His blood sugar was at 150 when he went in and it was at 65 and dropping when he got out of surgery. His blood pressure was taken when he got out but not his blood sugar. He was only given water to drink but not offered anything to eat, which I find odd since he hadn't eaten in almost 24 hours and for a diabetic that is an issue. I had to ask a nurse behind the desk for juice or food and he found a sucker and some apple juice. The nurse, Karen said she might scrounge around for a cheese stick or yogurt. This is unacceptable for a hospital OR recovery room.

MURDERER!

Murderous quack, that’s how to define this arrogant idiot. MURDERER! What’s up doc? You have no more ignorant BS to say? No explanation as to what you’ve did to my brother and my family?

I have been privileged to have experienced Dr. Silva's expertise on two (2) separate occasions: (1) June 2016, he performed an abdominal surgery and took the greatest of care with me, seeing to my daily well-being, medically AND personally. I was in the hospital for 4 days and because I was a bit uneasy to go home still, he allowed me to stay one more day. He made sure I knew how to care for the drain that was still in me for a few additional days and sent me home with my feeling confident enough to handle things. Follow-ups in the following weeks were very timely and when I needed additional pain meds, he willingly saw to it that I was kept comfortable. I healed well with no medical problems. (2) He knew how nervous I was to get my 'breast cancer' surgery DONE and OVERWITH, so he went the 'extra mile' (with the help of God) and his loyal staff, and was able to secure a "New Year's Eve" date for my surgery rather than making me wait...He removed a 2 centimeter cancer tumor from my left breast and other smaller cancers/pre-cancerous sites from 6 of my lymph nodes. I was allowed to go home that very day. The area was filling with fluid and he IMMEDIATELY got me into his office and drained the breast three separate times. No muss, no fuss! He talks on terms that a person can understand and is patient with the person/patient for which he is caring for. His bedside manner and his friendly, easy-goingness makes for a comfortable patient/doctor relationship. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND Dr. Matthew Silva and I appreciate his dedication.

This doctor is responsible for killing my brother, from Dr. Young's negligence all the way to Dr. Silva's cocky arrogance really shined through when handling my brother and his care. These 2 surgeons are the dumb and dumber of the OR these 2 surgeons were never skilled enough to handle my brother and his care and instead of doing The ethical thing the medically correct thing and transferring him to a hospital that was equipped to handle my brothers care they decided to take a risk at my brothers and families expense with some medical procedures that they weren't skilled or experienced enough to handle correctly in the first place readily admitted such and killed my brother opened him up 4 times in a 14 hour time frame. Congratulations Matt Silva and Peter R Young Jr. you successfully hacked up my brother like he was a piece of meat, your negligence, arrogance, medical malpractice oh and let's not forget that cocky attitude didn't favor my brother well in this situation. These doctors are ill equipped and knew that going in. Tell me Doc? Is it protocol to discharge a post OP patient with a fever of 101? With a fever of 103 the night prior to discharge? Is it protocol after surgery to not attach a drain tube ? After dealing with a gunshot don’t you think the smarter route would’ve been to hook him up to a colostomy bag for 30 days until everything was cleaned up and you made sure everything was good inside before dealing with something as dangerous as a bowel? I've never in my life heard of that, any of it, and you know the new scapegoat for everything even medical malpractice is COVID. I pray none of you heartless "medical professionals" ever have to experience what you have put my family through. All this COVID crap is a cover for stripping us of our rights and give these so called medical professionals a smoke screen to get away with negligence and ultimately murder.

Dr. Silva has a wonderful bedside manner; making a person feel as though they are his 'only' patient. I truly appreciate him and the surgery he performed on my abdominal hernia. THANK YOU, Dr. Silva :-)
