Miguel R. Silva Bariatric Surgeon M.D.,F.A.C.S.

So I visied Dr. Silva today 07/08/2010. The expierence was great. The lady at the front desk was very nice, the place itself was beautiful (private house but converted into a medical facility) very professional!!! My appointment was 245 but i saw the doctor around 4pm...there was alot of people waiting and told me how great Dr. silva was and told me i was in great hands! I first got weighed in and then Dr. Silva gave me his consultation. Although i wanted to have a certain procedure done he advised me that with me being obese all my life i should try the VSG. Not only would i have to switch insurance to cover it but this insurance would pay for any future plastic surgery...after giving it thought i decided i was going to do the VSG "Sleeve" and not Lapband. He advises you based on you and what would work best in the long run for you. He was very charismatic. I look foward to meeting him again after I get all my required tests (psych,blood,heart,abdonial) done! He truly is great and i recommend him to anyone!

My first impression of Dr. Sliva was good.rnI had a close friend and few folks I know that have had either VSG or Bypass performedrnby him. So, he came highly recommended andrnthe compliments were great!rnrnMy impression of Dr. Silva never changed. I just which he would have come to visit me in rnthe hospital. Yet, his partners came and were very attentive and concerned. They arerna great team of qualified and professional dr's. rnrnThe office staff was good. In the end they handled all my paperwork professionally. rnrnDr. Silva is one of the most caring Dr's besides my PCP who just makes you feel comfortable and he gets the job done!rnrnWell, I'm going to my first two week soon.rnHe supplied great information, but I will bernable to expound more on aftercare in the future.rnrnThe only structured aftercare I know of is the occasional checkup with surgeron. I have a wonderful PCP who has called me and spentrna significant amount of time checking up on me. So, as long as I get Dr. Silva's scheduled checkup appts. I should have any problems.rnrnNow, I was very well informed when I went in the office and was so eager to get things started. I don't know if he had to spend a lot of time with the risksrnof surgery. I was so eager to get sleeved! I did that on my surgery date, upon getting ready to sign some consents forms, I was startled by a least one question. Again, I was very well informed and over zealous. So, maybe certain things that were told to me briefly , I didn't really comprehend everything. It happens to the best!rnrnOverall, I would recommend Dr.Silva to anyone wanting to have this surgery. Hisrnsurgical competence was excellent, rememberrnI studied him out tooth and nail. Like I said, he has a marvelous team that are readily there to care for yournmatter what. You can rest assure through thernGrace of God and experience and concern ofrnDr. Silva you will be ok.rnrnPeace

He made a wonderful first impression. He was very informative and direct. His staff were very professional and polite. Overall I had a positive experience and highly recommend his services.

MY first impression of him, was very good. He explain just what I need to know, and he explain the surgrey. His staff was great, they help me get all my appointment for the other doctors. He office was new, the fireplace was great. I need to walk around with a sign that tells everyone just how good he is. I would rate him a 100, he explain after care, and if I had any other questions, just to call him at his office. Dr Silver had both surgical competence and great bedside manner.

I think is not a right word to describe Dr. Silva. He is the most caring Doctor I ever have he does care about his patients. The follow up after the surgery is really good. The personel in his office is also very caring and as soon as you get to see the doctor your feel like home becuase of the love and the caring that they have for the patients. That is my experience I am extreamely greatful to Dr. Silva and I will recommend the Doctor to anyone.

Dr. Miguel Silva is so welcoming and makes you feel \"normal\". He answers every question in a personal manner, un-generic, and seems to have an infinite amount of time for his patients. You never feel rushed when you're in his office, and the number of awards and certificates on his walls are some what reassuring. He is very confident when he explains the wls procedures which makes me feel safe.

Met with Dr Silva today, and I have to say first, I did not wait long to see him and his staff handle everything in a timely matter..he was very concern about my situation I had with a previous surgeon, I've told him everything, what I was going through, I've been trying to have surgery for 3 years now, he pretty much gave me a positive outcome leading up to me having surgeryrnhe was very happy to hear that I was approved 3 months prior to our visit, so he said we shouldn't have a problem being re-approved...i have to re-do my pre-op test for him and plus see psychiatrist because my previous one is over a year old, he did address the risk of the surgery and me on coumidin, the difference between him and my previous surgeon is communication, didn't communicate well with the surgeon before him, thanks Dr Silva for listening. You were attentive to my feelings and you made me feel very comfortable, I would recommend him to anyone

When i first met Dr. Silva i was like wow. But my PCP recommened him and i love her style as well. His staff is wonderful as well. Long wait times but it is all worth it, i just sign in and go next door to get a pedicure. If you are thinking about it hes your best choice, but be prepared he is a busy man. Fourtunately i have been blessed not to have aquired Sugar, Hypertension or anyother disorders; but i am the perfect canidate to get anything because of my weight. He explained what was going to happen next. how it would happen and it happened. He doesnt play he he understands that he is holding your future in his hands and he takes this very serious.

I met with Dr. Silva for the first time on 2/17/05 and meeting with him for about an hour I must say I was very impressed with him. After completing all my appointments this week I'm scheduled to me with him in a few weeks.

His staff is very friendly and office atmosphere is pleasant.

When I first met with Dr. Silva I felt good.
After severa visits to his office I lnew he was the right seargen for me. His Staff treated me very well, they were nice and very helpfull in starting the appointments for my surgery. There was really nothing I didnr dis-liked about Dr. Silva he was/is very attentive to my fellings and was very helpfull with any questions I had. I believe that he really likes what he does and he is very confident. I will really recomend Dr. Silva to anyone. He has been strick when it comes down to my well being after the operation. Over all I would really recomend him for this operation. The only thing I didnt like was the fact that the time I was in the hospital I didnt get a visit from him. The other two surgents in his office can to my room to check on me.
