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.

He's amazing.
My son has horrible reflux. Dr. Silber has personally called me when I have concerns and he pushed to have him admitted to the hospital when I felt he needed it. Very attentive, great listener.So happy we found this doc. So happy. I don't understand the negative reviews.

Dr. Silber is an amazing pediatric GI Dr. He has been seeing my daughter for almost 4 years. She was a complicated case but he didn't give up or rush to put a lifetime diagnosis label on her. He made sure he had all the information needed to make a correct diagnosis and proceeded with treatment and didn't stop until we found the best medical treatment and always listened to my daughter and I's concerns at each visit. I would recommend him to any of my friends.

Excellent DR.
Dr. Silber is AMAZING! My son is autistic and he was incredibly kind to him. He is thoughtful, kind, and had beautiful bedside manners. We are grateful for his expertise and to finally understand our son's disease.

Should retire
Dr. Silber try’s his best, but he is missing the mark for being a pediatric doctor. Every visit, our child is never acknowledged till the very end as an afterthought. His bedside manner is incredibly thoughtless and unhelpful. And his approach to medicine is try everything all at once rather than pinpointing really solutions. If you get scheduled with Dr. Silber it would be wise to transfer care.

Dr. Silber is amazing. He has been seeing my son for 10 years. He listens, asks AND answers questions and makes sure we understand everything. He, personally, returns phone calls when my son has been sick. He truly cares, best bedside manner. He doesn't rush through visits takes the time to thoroughly explain everything. Not sure what we are going to do when my son has to see an adult GI doc...

Went to him because of emergency GI problems and my regular GI doctor couldn't see me. Explained my long list of GI problems and how his office failed me the first time. He did not believe me or that he or his doctors could be wrong, which they were. He did not bother to read the short letter containing all my GI problems. I was in a wheel chair about to faint and he made me stand up. I broke down crying and he was not empathetic. Said he was going to prescribe a medicine and didn't.

Dr. Silber is unwilling to listen to you and what you need. He will not deal with any problems. He will simply prescribe medication to stop pain instead of figuring out why thee is pain. Simply put, its hundreds of dollars for a five minute visit with a man who's only in practice for the money.

Dr. Silber saw my son for more than a year and didn't do anything to help him. After speaking with friends who have also seen him, we all had the same experience. First, you will be given medicine for acid reflux (regardless if your child has it). Then, he will schdule an upper GI swallow study. But, he will cancel it at your pre-procedure visit claiming it's not longer necessary for various reasons. Lastly, you will follow up and he won't do anything else so you just stop going. He's terrible!!
