I always feel comfortable with Dr. Silver. I've seen him for this pregnancy and my previouse one, he is always so helpful and informative. I appreciate that his main focus is on positive things about my pregnancy. I trust his information and appreciate the great care he provides for me and my family.

May 21, 2013

As stated, Dr. Silver is the only one I will see. He truly cares about me and my situation and I completely trust and respect him. I also adore Rita- she knows who I am and is very good to me and patient and knowledgeable through all of my questions.

May 20, 2013

I always have a great visit with Dr. Silver.

We love Dr. Silver and Rita! We feel like VIP's with them & the office, MA staff.

no medications or follow up care

I spent most of my time with the midwife, Rita. It was my first time meeting her and Dr. Silver, and she was very sweet. She had a very calming presence and spoke in a soothing tone. She was good about answering any questions and providing a lot of information up front so a lot of questions I had were answered before I even had to ask them.

March 01, 2013

I met mainly with the nurse practitioner, she asked all the questions and answered all my questions. I just wish I could have talked more with the doctor about my concerns with out having to repeat myself. I expected to meet more we with the doctor not the nurse practitioner.

January 28, 2013

I just love the Nurse Midwife - she does her job very well. Dr. Silver is fantastic too!

December 26, 2012

We love Dr. Silver. My husband is always leary of new Doctors but feel very comfortable with Dr. Silver - thank you!

December 11, 2012

As a first time, mother-to-be, I had a lot of questions and Dr. Silver never made me feel silly. He answered all my questions, as did the mid-wife, and all the while made me feel important.

December 03, 2012

I love meeting with Rita. She is so awesome. I really appreciate that she shows concern about what's going on with me and she is very easy to talk to.

November 19, 2012

Both the Doctor and the Mid-Wife were awesome, Caring and very willing to answer all of our questions. This is our first, so we kept them really busy with questions and we did not feel rushed at all.

November 19, 2012

We were very pleased with our meeting with dr silver! He explained everything so well and answered all of our questions and then some.

October 16, 2012

Dr. Silver is very thorough and thoughtful with his explanation of treatment for me. He knows that I can be a worried patient and he takes his time to help settle my nerves. I also had a great experience with Sam, the midwife. She is very caring and takes her time with me. I love them both!

October 02, 2012

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Silver and Rita Paegle! They are so smart, kind and fun to talk to. I receive excellent care every time I am there.

September 27, 2012

Dr. Silver has an amazing way of communicating with me. He always addresses my concerns, and doesn't make me feel rushed. He even anticipates concerns that I may have and answers questions that I didn't even know I had yet. He is very kind and caring. This visit his expertise and kindness really came into play.

September 05, 2012

I felt that Dr Silver was condescending and surprisingly unsympathetic about my previous losses and reasons for seeking the appointment. I felt he was dismissive of my concerns and impatient with my questions.

September 04, 2012

Doctor Silver was very knowledgeable. We will recommend him to anyone we come in contact with.

June 04, 2012

I found Dr. Silver to be very logical, and I like that in doctors. I liked that he took my concerns and let me know what he thought about my treatments, but also let me have time to make my own decisions. I don't usually go by first impressions alone when it comes to my care, so we will see how things go from now on! So far, I really like him and the staff.

May 02, 2012

My father came with me to my appointment and he is extremely good at asking the right questions and getting everything out of an appointment that he can. Had he not been with me, I'm not convinced that Dr. Silver would have spent nearly as much time with me or explained as much as he did.

April 28, 2012

I have had a very good experience with Sam and Dr. Silver for many years. They are caring and competent and give me excellent care.

March 07, 2012

I don't know that I would recommend this care provider only because from my one visit being so short, it's difficult to make any conclusive expectations about him.

March 07, 2012

They all sat down in the chairs to speak with me and my family.

January 25, 2012

I was pleasantly surprised that Dr. Silver was willing to spend as much time with us as he did. I figured he'd be uninterested in answering simple questions about foods and medicines. But he welcomed all questions. I was also very pleased that he didn't talk down to me or treat me as though I were less than educable. I was VERY happy to learn he had a great sense of humor. Stuffy doctors don't put anyone at ease.
