Dr. Patricia Sylla, MD

I came to Dr. Sylla for a second opinion for an anal fistula and it was the best decision I ever made. There are several types of surgeries for fistula repair, and not a lot of information online, so it's incredibly important to find the right surgeon. Dr. Sylla specializes in the anorectal advancement flap repair, which requires 2 surgeries, but it's worth it as she's an expert. As a 30 year old woman, I am beyond grateful for finding Dr. Sylla as I am one year post op without any sign of recurrence and an extremely minimal scar. Highly recommend!

Dr. Sylla was very knowledgeable, professional, kind, caring, humorous, and accessible. She answered all my questions and concerns. I trusted her completely. Her surgery was very successful. I would recommend her to anyone, including my family.

I was given bleak options by surgeons at home, who said surgery would leave me with a colostomy bag, and sought a second opinion from Dr. Sylla. Dr. Sylla believed she could remove the entire tumor without leaving me with a bag, which is precisely (and I do mean "precisely") what she did (confirmed by the pathology report). I am fortunate and eternally grateful to Dr. Sylla. In the unfortunate circumstance anyone reading this needs or knows of anyone needing a colorectal surgeon, it is worth going out of your way to be seen by Dr. Sylla.

I had a partial colectomy at Mt. Sinai in October 2020. Dr Sylla and her surgical team were top drawer in every respect. I couldn't ask for a better experience.

Dr. Silla made having a colectomy seem almost easy. Caring and very good at what she does. Aces

Ulcerative colitis patient. Dr. Sylla skills saved my life. Five years post op and doing well. Highly recommend. Forever grateful.

Dr. Sylla is an outstanding clinician. She evaluates each patient as a unique individual. Because of her skill and intelligence, I was able to care for my husband three months after my surgery when he had sudden quadruple bypass surgery. Dr. Sylla is a blessing to her patients.

I had hemorroidectomy surgery just two weeks ago. I put the surgery off for years because EVERY SINGLE DOCTOR I EVER VISITED told me it was going to be an excruciating recovery. Now that I've done the surgery with Dr Sylla, I can honestly say the pain wasn't nearly as bad as I was warned it would be. I didn't need strong painkillers post surgery - only Motrin and the great news is I have NO MORE disgusting uncomfortable bleeding dhemorrhoids. YUK! I cannot believe it took me this long to do the surgery. I suffered with chronic hemorrhoids for far too many years because I was afraid of the surgery. I loved Dr Sylla. Her skill, warmth and chipper bedside manner are reassuring and uncommon! An esteemed DR that I admire tremendously recommended Dr.. Sylla to me and I'm grateful she did. This surgery improved my life so much! Within 8 days I was walking and managing most daily tasks without much discomfort. It's 2 weeks and I'm exponentially better and so relieved it's "behind" me!

I had an outstanding experience with Dr. Sylla. A true professional. A “doctors” doctor. She was recommended by another physician at Mt. Sinai who said I would recommend her to anyone in my family. I echo that recommendation! I’m only sorry I didn’t find her sooner so that two other members of my family could have had the benefit of her as their surgeon.

Dr Sylla made me *whole again*. I don’t have pain every day anymore and the day she operated on me at Mt Sinai, I felt well taken care of.. (her team was kind- I was nervous but they helped me through it.. anesthesiologist was even good!). If you’re looking for this type of doctor, you just struck gold, she’s the bomb.

Dr. Sylla saved me. I was diagnosed with diverticulitis by another doctor & it was all downhill from there. I had 4 failed surgeries & spent 31 days in the hospital. Another doctor referred me to Dr. Sylla & told me if anyone could help me, it was her. He was right. Dr. Sylla is beyond knowledgeable about her practice. She performed two surgeries on me & both went perfectly. That was a year & a half ago. I trust Dr. Sylla with my life & every member of my family's.

Dr Sylla is a very knowledgeable, to the point professional. She is amazing!

Dr. Sylla is the rudest, most inhuman, and heartless practitioner I've ever encountered, not only I do not recommend anyone to step in her office, I don't think she should be practicing medicine. Furthermore, I was misdiagnosed, mistreated, and disrespected during the whole procedure.

A rocket scientist!

Dr. Sylla is one of those rare doctors who speaks and explains everything happening medically so it is understood. I am so grateful to her for her caring and expertise. She is a gifted surgeon and definitely changed my quality of life and highly recommend her services.

After a failed hemorrhoidectomy I came back to discuss what other options were available. My issue is worse than before such painful surgery and Dr. Sylla could not care less. She didn't even give me a chance to take my pants off bursting into the room asking yeah, what do you want? As if I was bothering her. Then she says there's nothing more that can be done, I tell her I read that laser therapy is an option and all she said was I dont do lasers. Yes but it is an option you shouldve given.

Dr. Patricia Sylla is the the best doctor EVER. If you need surgery I highly recommend her because Dr. Sylla is a modern day Super Woman. She has an amazing personality and is extremely patient with her patients. Words really can not express the gratitude my family and I have for Dr. Sylla. She is just unbelievably fantastic. From a 1 to 5 star rating Dr. Sylla is a 10; TEN STARS. Thank You Dr. Sylla. Your the BEST.

With enormous gratitude, that I highly recommend Dr. Patricia Sylla, as a colon and rectal surgeon. She is quite frankly one of the finest doctors, I have ever met. Dr. Sylla is a true medical professional in the full sense of the word. I had a very complicated condition. Dr. Sylla met with me and my wife, explained my condition in a warm and professional manner and presented her recommendation. As a result of Dr Sylla's surgery and post operative care, I am living a very full and happy life.

Dr. Sylla performed a complex surgery on me 3 weeks ago that very few surgeons in the world would be able to do. She is a very skilled and highly trained surgeon. She is also a very nice person who is kind and compassionate. Dr. Sylla and her staff made me feel at ease. Dr. Sylla is a thought leader in her field and is an excellent surgeon. I am very pleased with the outcome of my surgery and fast recovery. I feel very fortunate that Dr. Sylla was my surgeon. I highly recommend Dr. Sylla.

A great experience from my first call to make an appointment with her assistant Natalie, who was very helpful, to the staff at the practice office when I got there for my appointment; very professional and pleasant. Dr Sylla is very personable and knowledgeable. She listens well and explains also very well. She has confidence and poise and a good sense of humor. I also clearly perceived that she cares about her patients.
