"Dr. Silverstein is caring and thorough! I had been seeing another GI that was just pushing surgery and when I switched to Dr. Silverstein she really thought about the actual cause of my recurrent flares. Something my previous GI NEVER did. I am forever thankful for Dr. Silverstein and would recommend her to everyone!"
"I tried to get a GI physician appointment for weeks due to constant intestinal problems. The soonest appointment I was offered was 13 weeks away. Dr. Silverstein made time for me within a few days! She’s professional, easy to talk to and I was so relieved to have her help me."
"Dr. Silverstein is a wonderful doctor ♥️"
"I saw Dr. Silverstein and her PA, Melissa. They were kind, caring, and very professional and timely. All the people at both the office and outpatient facility were pleasant and had smiles on their faces. I'm sorry I do not have photographs of my colonostomy to post."
"First time appointment but impressed with Dr Silverstein. Comes across as very kind and caring wich are essential features for a physician"
"The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. I really appreciated how through and compassionate Dr Silverstein was I would definitely recommend you check her out. Definitely coming back!”"
"Dr Silverstein and her staff are absolutely great."
"Dr. Silverstein is one of the BEST Doctors I've EVER encountered! She is Genuinely concerned with YOU! She truly Cares, & she Listens carefully to All you have to say, and answers All of your questions thoroughly! She is very aware of all the latest information, and she VALUES YOUR Input as a Patient! I'm SO Blessed to be her Patient! She helped save my life, treating a very rare & strange colon disease! Thank You, Dr. Silverstein, for going that extra mile, and for thinking outside the box!"
"Excellent experience with the doctor and staff at this office."
"Went last year to see Dr. Silverstein. She diagnosed what an issue was that I have been suffering with for many years and gone to the doctors over and over again with no resolution until I saw her. She is so kind and so thorough. She didn't rush me and I felt so comfortable talking to her. I highly recommend her!"
"I absolutely love Dr Silverstein she has been my Dr. for years! I trust her with my life… Thank You Dr. Silverstein.."
"Dr. Silverstein is very knowledgeable and professional. Her office staff were also amazing."
"I have been seeing Dr Silverstein for 3 years now and have always been impressed by each visit. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and Dr Silverstein listens makes you feel like you are very important and is always concerned about your health. She will write notes so when you leave the office you remember exactly what she spoke of. I would highly recommend Dr Silverstein."
"first time , I really liked this one she was very thorough in our consultation and was not rushed. Dr Silverstein is a keeper!"
"Dr. Silverstein is knowledgeable and seemingly good at what she does. The disconnect is the switchboard, you just can't reach anyone period and the machine has a rude answer that if you don't know your parties extension or you happen to hit O for operator it just says goodbye. They are wildly busy, possibly too busy and need to throw the answering machine out the window or interview a service. I am right now 8 days and 5 calls to the switchboard and have not been able to reach a human to get my results. Just for the record, some of us are busy too."
"This review is long overdue as Dr. Silverstein has been our family gastroenterologist for over 10 years. In my opinion, Dr. Silverstein is one of the most capable, knowledgeable, and caring physicians that I have ever known. She treats me as “a whole person” rather than just someone with a gastrointestinal disease. Before seeing Dr. Silverstein, I was overmedicated and not doing well at all. Dr. Silverstein spent considerable time with me, discussed my lifestyle and the stresses that I am under, and put me on a more holistic treatment plan that included some medication, yoga and breathing exercises, natural supplements, and regularly scheduled endoscopies and colonoscopies when necessary. She stabilized me. Today, I see Dr. Silverstein when I have flareups. She responds to my calls and messages right away and squeezes me into her extremely busy schedule when I am not feeling well. She does this with the utmost kindness and compassion and makes me feel very cared for. Dr. Silverstein also follows up to see how I am progressing, and it is not unusual to get a phone call from her after hours. Honestly, I feel very lucky to have her as my gastroenterologist. I recommend Dr. Silverstein to anyone that seeks a smart, experienced, compassionate physician and partner in their gastrointestinal healthcare."
"The doctor and staff are top notch. They listen, remember, and take action. Seriously, no matter how long the drive, for the best care possible it's so worth it."
"Omg where can I start Dr Taryn was so kind sweet and friendly. That was a plus for me and my sister in law. She was very informative very detail about the procedure. Before I got to see her, I was scared , nervous, had anxiety, but she made me feel so good that I am ready for my procedure on February. We need more Doctor like Dr Taryn Silverstein. Thank you so much for your kindness. Sincerely Jenny"
"Dr. Taryn Silverstein is amazing! She is knowledgeable, sensitive, informative and most important compassionate. I immediately felt at ease – and felt confident in my receiving expert medical care. She listens to every concern you have and really cares about your concerns and makes sure she addresses each. Staff at outpatient was great, too. Walked away, very impressed w. the overall experience. HIGHLY recommend"

"I was having sporadic severe discomfort under my bilateral rib cages, left side into my upper and lower back. I called to make an appt with Dr Silverstein but the first appt was April 11- (I would be a new pt). I called back later that day to see about seeing someone else and was able to get in within 3 days to see Melissa Melcher, NP. Everyone was very polite. I was very satisfied with my visit, she asked many questions, said she works closely with Dr Silverstein and has ordered several tests for me before making a definitive diagnosis. I feel confident in seeing Melissa."

"Dr. Silverstein has been my gastroenterologist for many years. She has always been very thorough and willing to spend time answering any questions. She and her office staff are great. I highly recommend her."
"Dr. Silverstein came highly recommended to me for my first colonoscopy screening because I am "at that age now"!! I was very surprised that when I made the appointment back in June/July 2022 to have a consult prior to procedure, for them to inform me that the first initial availability was almost 3-4 months away! I was dumbfounded by that, but when I met her for the consult, I can see why she comes highly recommended. She has impeccable bedside manner and takes time to answer any questions you might have regarding your upcoming procedure. I have to say that my entire experience was a pleasant one, (well except for the day prior but ONLY due to the extreme constant evacuation of your bowels)! LOL. When I arrived at the surgery center, the entire experience went well and without a hitch! Thank you to both Dr. Silverstein and your crew for making my experience of having a colonoscopy an easy one that NO ONE should ever be worried about if having her as your Gastroenterologist!!!!"
"Dr. Silverstein lived up to everything I had read about her in her reviews. She is professional, thorough, knowledgeable and personable. She treated me like a person, not a patient. I’m in the medical profession as well so I know first hand how important this first encounter is. I have already recommended her to two family members. Five stars is well earned."
"Dr. Silverstein genuinely cares for her patients. She spends so much time talking to me and listening to my issues. She ALWAYS answers my messages on the portal or phone messages in the same day. She is patient and very knowledgeable about various methods of treatment. If the first option doesn’t work she is in it for the long haul with me and is prepared for the next suggestion. I am so thankful she is my doctor!"
"Doctor Silverstein is one of the best doctors I’ve had. She is very understanding and helpful. Not only does she take her job seriously she takes inconsideration of the patients fears and concerns to make you feel welcomed and on the same page."
"My husband has seen 8 Gastro’s, Prior to seeing Dr. Silverstein, In a few visits, this angel from heaven got my husband on the correct track, digestive problems that have plagued him for many years were taken care of. One was removing him from a laxative that he was told to take by all the previous doctors, Another one was stopping the probiotics he was also told to take. I only wish that we knew about Dr. Silverstein Much sooner. We would highly recommend Dr. Silverstein, she is from a Rare bunch That actually listens to your problems, And tackles how to make you feel better, If the rating was higher than five stars I would give them to her"
"Dr. Silverstein is the best doctor I have- she is amazing at what she does! She always delivers exceptional care and is incredibly determined to help. She really listens to what you need and wants the very best for her patients. I trust her and she has been a godsent to me through my continued health journey. You can tell she wants the best for you and helps you want the same through her positive, encouraging and understanding personality. I have been her patient for 3 years and I wouldn't be where I am today without her. She is so supportive and dependable- I always recommend her. Can't forget to mention her highly competent and friendly staff. She or her nurses will call or email you back the same day if you are having an issue. They just all care and I couldn't be more grateful!"

"It was finally time to see a (GI) specialist! My OBGY gave me a list of 4 specialists to choose from. I eliminated 2 on the basis of proximity. I called the office of the other 2 to schedule an appointment. One, was eliminated after the receptionist gave me a bad vibe on the phone. I don't think she was having a good day and unfortunately carried her issues to her workplace. Although I scheduled the appointment, I didn't show up. On the other hand, I showed up for my appointment with the other specialist. When I arrived at my appointment with Dr. Silverstein, the receptionist was very cordial, polite and accommodating. I inadvertently forgot my insurance card at home. Since I could access it online, she graciously allowed me to email it to her. The wait time was reasonable. Once inside, Dr. Silverstein herself was so cordial and human. She asked questions to help her understand my overall health better. She offered suggestions, and showed personal interest. At the checkout counter, the young woman was patient and helped me secure a good day and time for the procedure. Great experience from the start! Looking forward to my procedure next month."
