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.

Extremely Professional
Extremely Professional. Rarely does one encounter a physician who is kind, patient and understanding, with complete expertise of one’s medical issue. Dr Nesbitt Silon is one of those rare physicians. She discussed options for short term and long term tx and patiently listened to my concerns. Her entire office staff was equally professional and respectful. I am so fortunate to have discovered Dr. Silon.

Indifferent and rushed
Went to Dr. Nesbitt Silon on a recommendation from my primary care doctor. Had issues with my index finger since I cut my hand about 3 months prior. Dr. Nesbitt Silon loosely provided some options including doing nothing, PT, and surgery. Left the decision up to me, but provided very little guidance or pros/cons of each option. When I went back for a consultation she mentioned that she would consult the PT who was treating me, but no such conversation took place. She comes across as distant and not very personable.

Dr. Nesbitt and her assistant were prompt, informed and thoroughly professional. They were aware of my previous medical history at MMI, although this was their first contact with me. Dr. Nesbitt was (wisely) not distracted by my own ambiguity concerning my hand/wrist/forearm injury. I believe her judgement to be unquestionable and I look forward to our next appointment with confidence.

I had carpel tunnel surgery - very successfully done. Very professional. My wife had severe arthritis in her hand and was also treated very well by Dr. Nesbitt. I like that she explains in detail what is wrong and what she is doing to help with the problem.

Dr Kristen Nesbitt-Silon has been my ORTHOPEADIC SURGEON since 2009. She performed endoscopic carpal tunnel surgery in both my wrist back in 2010 and also repaired a "trigger finger". Both of my wrist, hands and the trigger finger have worked beautifully without carpal tunnel or trigger finger pain in that finger since my recovery. She is an exquisite Endoscopic Surgeon: the carpal tunnel "scars" blend so beautifully in with my normal wrist wrinkles that it looks like I've never had surgery at all. I recently had another trigger finger & thumb issue and immediately knew that Dr Nesbitt-Silon was the only surgeon I want to correct the issue for me. I highly recommended this talented/gifted Surgeon to anyone in need of her expertise!

Dr. Nesbitt was very informative about my issue with my wrist, answered all my questions and made me aware of the options I have. We discussed both options available and I made a decision on the course I wanted to take. She was very agreeable with the choice I made. Should the need arise, I will not hesitate to consult with her again.

Dr. Nesbitt was extremely knowledgeable and took time to explain my condition and options. I never felt pressured or hurried. She even came back into the room to check on me as I waited for the technician that was going to provide me with a brace. Overall, I was very satisfied would recommend her.

Dr. Nesbitt Salon is very personable. I typically don't have to wait very long to be taken back to an examining room. She took sufficient time to hear why I was there and to explain the problem I was experiencing. She has never pushed any surgery I was not ready to utilize. I have been her patient for almost a decade.
