My 1st Impression of Dr. Silva was he was very understanding and it was all my decision there was no pushing me into anything. I really Liked that about him. As I got to know Dr. Silva he has become kinder and kinder.
Dr. Silva's office is very clean and his staff is wonderful. They set up each appointment for me which was GREAT!!
The only thing is be prepared to wait at least 1 hour and half to see him, but it is worth every minute you wait.
Dr Silva is very informative and not pressuring at all. He lets you know your risks in detail and will not coax you into having to do surgery, the choice is up to you. His office staff is extremely helpful and thorough.
Dr. Silva answers all your questions and will be honest.
He is a very easy going person and makes you feel very comfortable !!! The more I got to know him the more comfortable I felt and safe about him doing my surgery !! The office staff is very friendly and helpful especially Tanya his assistant ! I don't have anything bad to say about my surgeon ! Don't be nervous around him he's a very honest trust worthy surgeon .He is very on top of your care and wants to make sure you realize that you need to keep your post-op appontments its very important to follow up with your surgeon ! Before you have your surgery he makes sure you are very aware of the risks of this surgery !!! I give my surgeon a 10 he's the best !!!!
I found a new surgeon, thanks to this site. He is excellent! Dr. Silva is very friendly, well spoken and knew his stuff. I met him at his other 'office' in Eastchester, he saw me right away, so no complaints. Dr. Silva's office staff handled all the appointments, very convient, I would say within a week I had all the appointments. I had already seen a Phycologist, and had the Endoscopy from my previous surgeon, so I need the Ultra sound and Heart EKG test. I will tell you that Ultrasound hurt! I guess I'm a wimp, but she really dug deep to look at my gallbladder. So far I have two left, the pulmonary and nutritionist. I hope I wont have to wait long for a surgery date. I think I will go with St. Josephs in Yonkers, I've heard good reviews about it. I'll keep you posted.
Dr. Silva is friendly, professional, and is able to help with any fears I may have had. On the day of surgery he spoke with myself and my family beforehand to relieve the stress. In recovery he was there as well, and came to see me in the evening of the surgery to see how I was doing. He and his staff are very supportive. Tonya in his office is great. My preop screening tests went smooth from schedule to completion. Postop went just as well. I am 9 days postop today, and am very happy that I had the band placed. I would recommend Dr. Silva to anyone who is considering this procedure (or any other surgical procedure). Dr. Silva is not only my surgeon, but my Dad's as well. Also, I work in the medical field and chose Dr. Silva from many other surgeon's that I know from the workplace. As far as I am concerned, he is the one to go with.
I met with Dr. Silva on Thursday, October 17, 2003. He was very pleasant and very informative. His office staff is excellent, Tanya made all the appointments right after I met with Dr.Silva for my clearances. I'm so excited and can't wait to finally begin my new life on the other side.
Dr. Silva is a wonderful, caring, extremely competant, and friendly doctor/surgeon. He is extremely knowledgeable about all of the gallbladder/lap-band questions/issues that I have had. Most of all, he is a great listener, and very attentive to his patients-as soon as I walked into his office, he made me comfortable and happy that I chose him for my surgeries. When I had my gallbladder taken out, Dr. Silva took wonderful care of me!!!
To day was my first visit. The office is so clean and the staff are very nice. The atmophere of the office, is BEAUTIFUL! Dr. Silva, was so nice. As he sat behind his desk, I thought that he was a tall man, but when we went in to weight me in another room, I was wrong, he wasn't so tall. He treated me with respect. He didn't rush me at all, he took his time, answered all my questions and was very detailed. I would recommend him to anyone. He didn't mentioned anything about aftercare. He said that we will have other meetings and we will talk more. He address the risks of surgery head on, he told the percentage of someone having and infection and he never mention anything about DEATH, which I like. It made me think that He has so much confidence about his self that there was no need to mention death.
I had my first appointment with Dr. Silva on January 30. He was very informative and patient with all my questions.
