Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Exceptional
Dr. Silas is very personable and thorough. He does a complete review of your health record; discusses all recent tests results; discusses current medications and makes adjustments to same as necessary. I'm very comfortable sharing 'life challenges' due to my 50+ years as a Crohn's patient with him I've never felt rushed during my office visits and have always received prompt replies with any questions that I've asked him using the Patient Portal (LiveWell)
