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!

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.

(During my virtual visit) I felt Dr. silver seemed a little distant. maybe because it was a virtual visit. he answered my questions but didn't "offer" any additional medical advice. he just answered my questions. that was good but as a first time mom who's whole birth plan was around an out of hospital birth experience, didn't even know what to ask. I was hoping Dr. Silver would kinda walk me through the whole process.

I wasn't informed when I arrived that I would not be seeing Dr. Silver as scheduled. It was a shock to meet a new provider who knows nothing of my condition or situation during the end of my high risk pregnancy. I would prefer to be informed when I arrive if Dr. Silver is not available to meet with me or answer my concerns regarding my c-section and the decisions to deliver my baby early.

I love dr silver & when he was able to come in I definitely felt at ease, but this experience was really rough my appointment took almost 3 hours and it was a regular ultra sound & check up. the other midwife did not know what was going on or that my fetus has a heart condition nor did the ultrasound tech. it made me feel very uncomfortable & I much rather would've waited for someone who knew what was going on or fhat looked over my file
