One of the best doctors I've ever seen. Took his time to ask lots of questions and listen to my answers. Did not rush at all. Was genuinely concerned with figuring out my issue and coming up with the best treatment plan. Showed me websites for helpful products, ruled out some medications by asking my history with certain classes of drugs, and did not try to push any specific treatment. He took into account my lifestyle, the inconvenience of regular injections, and the difficulty of get good results with a nonspecific presentation. He even went to consult a radiologist to get an opinion about an MRI result. He is the kind of doctor others should aspire to be.

I appreciate that Dr. Silver was able to see me and discuss my increased migraine frequency and great concerns. After a scary ER visit it was nice to be able to discuss a plan with my doctor and come up with hopefully a promising solution to ending my migraines. Dr. Silver is willing to listen to concerns and my questions about supplements and help me understand what the research is showing for migraines and what would actually help me. I have been with him many years and you can tell he's taken thorough notes because we were able to document that certain migraine medicines make me worse.
