Dr. David Da Silva, MD

Met with Dr DaSilva on March 31, 2025. He was kind. Other than that, he was totally scattered and seemed confused. I made the appt as a new patient, and for a hernia I knew that I had. He seemed pretty uninterested in the hernia, and addressed it stating I didn't need to have it fixed as I could live with it at my 'age'. That was my take away regarding that. I believe Dr. DaSilva may be in the early stages of a dementia type issue. I hope for his sake that isn't true , but he reminded me of another family member that years later was determined to have that issue. I think its time for him to retire. I wouldnt trust his judgement as he was all over the place and seemed unable to concentrate on me as a patient.

Would not recommend as a PCP; lacks organization, limited availability for appointments, does not prioritize urgent health matters, and staff made errors in coding referral for insurance.

Overall, does not listen nor care! Says bizarre things! His has no integrity nor transparency! An awful person to be in the medical field!

I am told by Dr DaSilva that I have 10 years to live! Can you believe this? He told me that I have a leaky heart valve and my life will be cut short. He gave me no further explanation, information, or hopes. Are there any doctors out there that could help me please?

Terrible inflexible Doctor. Have major issues about how they coded my appointment. Doctor and team are providing limited help to resolve.

Fake compassion, casual attention to detail and impatient with questions.

DaSilva is grossly incompetent and unfit to practice medicine. He fabricated a wild story one night at 1130 pm about me " telling him( I) was a danger to myself and couldn't take care " of myself, and falsely reported these lies to APS. This caused so much stress that I developed, overnight, a chronic stress related skin condition, that has progressively worsened and is extremely painful and debilitating. Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES trust or even talk to this incompetent and irrational person. Do NOT trust him at all.

Dr. Dasilva is a very weak, timid man. Not the kind of man who want for a doctor of medicine. He rushes through the appointments and rarely looks you in the eye. He has also made some serious mistakes on my medical records, which had to be corrected. Better to look elsewhere for a doctor.

Rushed, doesn’t listen, not willing to say “I don’t know” becomes instantly defensive when questioned.

Discharged patient with MAJOR error in discharge orders. Discharge was on a Friday, so we could not get it rectified until the following week. Made changes in patient's complex drug regimen without talking to patient's regular treating physicians. For the most part, we have been pleased with care by Sutter providers. Not this time.

Dr. DaSilva was more concerned with my mask that i wore into the office being CDC approved then how I was doing. Even after I put on the mask he had his assistant provide me; he was still going on about it. After I told him that I just lost my house, could care less about if my mask was CDC approved or not, and was there for a Dr. visit he proceeded to walk out of the room. When he walked back in and found out I wanted him fired he walked me to reception then told them I needed another Doctor. There needs to be some accountability to treating a patent this way; he put in my after patent summery that i requested a cancelation; what a joke.

Dr. Dasilva seems to be in a hurry and doesn't really listen very well to his patients. By far one of the worst physicians' I have ever encountered. he is condescending and has to be one of the worst physicians I've ever had the displeasure of having as a doctor of medicine. I won't be going back ever again.

The most horrible doctor I have ever met. He does not communicate well and is very rushed in his behaviors. Do yourself a favor and do not visit this "doctor".

We had very interesting experience with Dr. DaSilva's office. For the past five months my wife has had pressure in her head, ringing and pulsating ears, dizziness etc. We had her sinuses checked and nothing was detected. When we came to Dr. DaSilva, he sent my wife to CT scan and MRI which we really appreciated. However, problems started later. We waited for one month but never heard anything from MRI. We called to imaging facility and they told us that Dr. Dasilva's office did not send an authorization and lab results. We contacted back Dr. Dasiva's office and they said that would leave a note to a doctor. We waited for another week, nobody from Dr Dasilva's office contacted us. We called again, and got again into the same circus. Finally, my wife made an appointment with Dr. Dasilva to understand what is going on. When Dr. Dasilva saw her, he acted as if he had never seen her in his life. He was rude and inconsiderate. For every question that my wife asked he was responding "This

He is a very knowledgeable doctor, and very cooperative with his patients. He maintains a very upbeat attitude. Sometimes I feel like I am going into Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. I love his line You confusing common sense with insurance companies, and they have nothing in common. I wish he would promote a plant based diet.
