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.

My husband saw Dr. Silverblatt in April 2017, after having been referred by our PCP. Dr. Silverblatt suspected Lyme Disease and sid blood tests for that only. It wasn't Lyme. He kept on suffering until May 2018 when he got a call from our PCP. Hed been to a conference on Lyme and the 32 other blood-borne diseases causeed by ticks. He had Babesiosis, caused by a tick bite. He took 5 days of medicine and it cleared up. We feel that Dr. Silverblatt should have diagnosed it. $90 for nothing.

My experience with Dr. Silverblatt was wonderful. He took his time listening to my symptoms and asking me questions. He was very helpful in explaining what the symptoms could possibly be caused by. After running the appropriate tests I was diagnosed and treated accordingly. I'm feeling much better now thanks to Dr. Silverblatt!

I was told I may have had lyme but it is gone now, although my symptoms are actually worse and I was never treated. Went to another Lyme Specialist, was diagnosed with lyme and treated for lyme. Finally feeling better. I would not recommend this Doctor.

I would NOT recommend seeing this doctor. EXTREMELY rude and told me in the matter of 3 minutes that I am diagnosed with fibromyalgia. This is what doctors due when they don't know what's wrong. If you have Lyme disease DO NOT waste your time or money. First review I wrote but he deserves it and should also retire as he seemed very incompetent.

Highly unstatisfied with Dr. Silverblatt. He does not acknowledge that many people infected with Lyme disease do not have positive test results. Once my test results came back as negative, he did not listen to my symptoms. There are approximately 300,000 undiagnosed Lyme cases each year and he prevents that number from lowering. I was later diagnosed with Lyme by two Lyme-literate doctors based on my symptoms and I had positive test results. Silverblatt needs to educate himself in Lyme.

Dr. Silverblatt took an abundant amount of time with me at South County Hospital for treatment for CDifff. He was very nice and highly recommended.
