    UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL

    Dr. Silver was absolutely wonderful to meet with after losing our son a month prior. He was compassionate, reassuring, and humble. It was easy to tell that he really cares about helping us get the best care possible in the future. I couldn't recommend him more for pregnancy after loss.

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    Dr Silver was wonderful. He helped me feel at ease with my concerns. I would 100% recommend him to anyone who asked!

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    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.

    UH HOSPITALS AND CLINICS

    My nurses, the ultrasound tech, and the Doctor were so fantastic!

    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.
