Dr. Silverstein spent a great deal of time explaining my "condition" and all of the solutions. He answered all my questions and was very cordial throughout my visit.

Dr Silverstein and his staff are knowlegeable and efficient. I always feel cared for by the entire practice. The only complaint is the answering service during lunch - I shared my concerns with the staff and Dr Silverstein. He immediately let the system know there was an issue.

The Dr. I saw was outstanding! No nonsense, plain language, and took the path of least resistance to address the issue (non - surgically) and had a nice calm personality, I would recommend him to others looking for a podiatrist, without hesitation.

Dr. Silverstein excels at actually listening to his patients (not all docs do). He answers all your questions and provides relevant referrals and has an excellent bedside manner. So glad my initial appointment was with him and will continue with this superior medical professional.

Experienced pain in my foot for many months due to fracture and a callous. I also have worn out tissue,on the bottom of my foot he removed the callous and fitted a temporary surgical bandage on my foot. The pain was gone. Dr. Silverstein is making an insert to go into my shoes so I will be comfortable. Years ago Dr. Silverstein did a hammer toe for me pain free. He’s the Best!! RICHARD

Dr. Eric Silverstein was the best surgeon that I have had the pleasure of meeting. He was new for me, but he was concerned about my feet! He's straight forward with great bedside manners. He's concerned about your time and his. I love him and his staff! I would refer him in a New York minute! Be blessed my new family!

Dr. Silverstein is one of a kind. He makes you feel important and just not a patient. Some doctors are quick to send you to a CVS drive thru. Dr. Silverstein thank you for the good job.

Dr. Eric Silverstein is nothing short of a miracle worker. I was born with 12 toes, and for most of my life I was told by doctors all over the world that nothing could be done. I searched everywhere different countries, different specialists and was repeatedly told that the surgery was either too complex or not possible. Dr. Silverstein was the only doctor who had the knowledge, skill, and confidence to take on my case. From the very first consultation, he listened to me, understood my situation, and treated me with respect and care. He didn’t see me as a complication he saw me as a person who deserved a solution and a better quality of life. The surgery was successful, the healing process went smoothly, and today I am walking something I truly once thought might never happen. The results have exceeded my expectations, both physically and emotionally. This surgery has changed my life. If you are searching for a doctor who is brilliant, compassionate, and willing to go where others won’t, Dr. Eric Silverstein is that doctor. I will forever be grateful to him and his team. Thank you, Dr. Silverstein, for giving me my confidence, mobility, and a new chapter in life. Dean Wilson

I was a little thrown off by Dr. Silverstein’s process. I had seen other doctors, so I was trying to explain their treatment and diagnosis. He basically told me they were wrong (and they were). And I’m glad he did. Because Dr. Silverstein diagnosed me and treated me within that one visit. Could’ve saved myself 6 weeks in a boot for a stress fracture I never had if I had seen Dr. Silverstein first. It’s clear Dr. Silverstein has a deep understanding of podiatry and effective treatment. He also gave me options and didn’t force me one way or the other. If you have a problem with your feet and want to know what’s actually going on and how to fix it go see him.

Attentive, pro, detailed, explains clearly, put all options on the table
