I love Dr. Silver so much. He is the (almost) perfect balance of natural and medicine and he answers the questions and doesn't leave until I'm done asking questions. Love it, he's awesome.

Seems to be in a rush, especially because I'm a boring pregnancy, but very caring and takes time to listen to me and work with my desires for birth. He's quirky, but blows me away with his composure, flexibility, and demeanor. I've never met a birth professional like him, and believe me, I've talked with a lot of birth professionals. I'm hoping my delivery is as boring and textbook perfect as my pregnancy this time! I trust that UofU will make it happen

Really appreciate Dr Silver. We came to him for our halfway ultrasound for our baby, and we were able to ask him questions on if he believes we are still on track for trying for an out-of-hospital birth. He heard our questions, and gave a positive response. We are grateful for his balanced perspective.The ultrasound tech was also amazing! She walked us through the anatomy scan and talked us through what she was looking at with our baby. It really made it personal. I loved it!

Dr. Silver was wonderful! He used evidence backed studies to back everything he mentioned to me and help me to realize that Google doesn't know everything. He gave me hope at a time when hope is sometimes hard to find. I appreciate the time he spent with me, his thorough explanations and willingness to answer any questions I had. Thank you, Dr. Silver!

I can't thank Dr Silver enough. He recognized several of my needs without me even telling him. He has shown so much support and concern. This has greatly reduced many of my fears and worries.

dr. silver was disappointing and seemed callous. he wasn't listening to anything I was concerned about and could not answer any of my questions. I left with more questions than answers and feeling ignored and let down. it was a terrible experience. I felt unheard and not treated. it was very frustrating.
