Andrew B Silva's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Silva is an amazing Doctor, just be prepared for an hour or more wait to see him. This has been my case every single time I have an appointment. I wish they could schedule patients more accurately in terms of allocating sufficient time.

We love Dr Silva and his office. I have taken 3 of my kids to him for different reasons and each time he diagnoses the problems accurately and cautiously. His bedside manner is fantastic, he always gives options and lets me feel like I’m at the wheel, making the final choice, never bullied into surgeries or treatments I don’t feel comfortable with. We had great experience with surgery outcomes and speedy recoveries. My only negative is how hard it is to get in…he is TOO good at his job, and too popular!

Dr. Silva and his staff are very nice and pleasant people. But unfortunately I had a terrible experience with them. The day before my septum surgery they called me to reschedule it to 45 days later, because they scheduled it in the wrong facility. When it finally happened, they started my surgery with about a five hour delay. The night of the surgery, I was left without painkillers, because they accidentally sent my prescription to a wrong pharmacy. But all this is nothing, comparing to the end result of the surgery. MY BREATHING IS SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE THAN IT’S EVER BEEN BEFORE THE SURGERY!! I asked Dr. Silva to undo it, but he said that not everything that is done can be undone, and referred me away to a different surgeon. That other surgeon was not too eager to be fixing somebody else’s screwup‘s. The nostril that was breathing at about 50% capacity, now completely collapses to the point that I cannot take a breath in! My nose is PERMANENTLY DAMAGED for life and I am horrified! I think I need a lawyer.

Extremely disappointed. I was referred by multiple families to Dr. Silva for my toddlers recurring ear infections. The day we were seen we waited over an hr and a half to see the PA (annoying, but I work in healthcare so I understand some days are rough). Was told to call Jeff/office manager to set up surgery and I've called (more like chased) at least 5 times and never have received a call back. Will take my son elsewhere at this point.

I can't say enough about Dr Silvia and his team. He has helped my two sons and my husband. He does this with grace, humor and compassion. He spends time with you and doesn't make you feel rushed. He cares about his patients and shows that incredible "bed side manner" that many doctors are missing. He most recently placed tubes in my son's ears and as a mother, I felt comfort knowing he was in good hands. Also, to his "sidekick" Jeff in scheduling. What an amazing person he is. He makes things happen!! What a wonderful addition he is to the team. You will not go wrong with Dr. Silvia. He is the best of the best!

Have been a patient since 2007 and I can say Dr. Silva is one of the most professional doctors I have been to. I have had multiple surgeries conducted with Dr. Silva and no complaints at all. I had major sinus issues that were corrected in 2009 and recently had my tonsils removed with no complications.

So one of my closest friends had his tonsils removed a couple of weeks ago with Dr. Silva and at first all seemed well. Then 6 days goes by and my friend noticed he was still coughing up some blood.... so he goes to get it checked out early that day and they tell him everything looks ok and not to worry. They give him some pain pills and he passes out. Flash forward a couple of hours later when he wakes up and is coughing more blood then before.... then he starts throwing up blood..... he is rushed back to the hospital for a second time in one day because someone made an error... as he’s on the way he has to hang out the window of a moving car because of the amount of blood coming from his mouth. Once he arrives at the hospital he goes into shock and they had to give him an emergency surgery to stop the bleeding. When he awoke they told him he almost needed a blood transfusion because of the amount of blood he lost. All because Dr. Silva (who made the first sugery) did something wrong. I don’t know what those people are doing there but the fact that my friend went early in the morning to say something was wrong and none of them could find out what it was is just not acceptable. I would be ashamed to say I work in a place like that. Don’t waste your money on mediocre service because it’s not worth the risk.

I am so thankful that I was referred to Dr. Silva to see my 2 yr old with constant ear infections. He wasted no time and made an action plan to get tubes and resolve my son's issues and had the audiologist test his hearing in 1 easy appointment. My child does not typically enjoy Dr. visits but Dr. Silva had him laughing and smiling. Very impressed!

My son is a high school athlete and had some seriously impacted sinuses. Dr. Silva met personally with us, explained both the positives and possible negatives of sinus surgery for him, and the follow up care after the surgery was exceptional. Our son can breathe, smell, and sleep without snoring/sneezing, etc, and we are very grateful. Dr. Silva is both realistic and caring, and explained everything so that we could understand it.

Dr. Silva was amazing! My son got a bean stuck in his ear. I called at 8:30 am and his office worked us in at 10:15. It was too stuck and we had to go to the surgery center. Rather than take the afternoon off as he had planned, Dr. Silva and his staff got us scheduled at 1:30 and removed the bean. So,so grateful!
