1 review for Silverman Burton MD
I hate doctors; let's face it - the state of health care in our country is the laughing stock of both the free and the not-so-free world. I think maybe that people in North Korea have a slightly harder time getting decent health care, but not much! The docs in our country typically don't make it very easy to approach them, even when insurance and other considerations aren't an issue. They're always available only during banker's hours or what-have-you, and VERY eager to get rid of you.
Patient: My back really hurts!
Doc: You have a cold. Go home and get some rest and plenty of fluids.
You know, crap like that. MAN, I hate doctors...
...or, at least I did, until I met Dr. Silverman.
Lemme tell you something about this guy: I called his office one night complaining of really bad pain in my throat. It was about 5pm on a Friday night and I had no idea who to go to - the emergency room is never a help ANYWHERE, so I chanced across Dr. Silverman's name in the yellow pages.
His staff was very friendly and squeezed me in THAT NIGHT so I could see the doc, who even though it was close to time for the office to close by my appointment (they close at 7, thank the moons!) still stayed to talk with me...
...and man, did he ever! Not only did he find out what was wrong and prescribe antibiotics, he sat down and talked with me at length about my entire medical history, helping me to get some help with other issues that I had always wanted help with! He was kind, attentive, and made me feel like a valued patient that he actually had a vested interest in healing!
Imagine that!
Dr. Silverman, you are a credit to your profession, and I am very thankful that I have found a physician as great as yourself!
