Dr Silverstein always explains what she is doing & why she wants to have you take a test or medication . I have 100percent confidence that she is looking out with my best interest in mind
I am a patient of Dr. Taryn Silverstein for the past six months. I went to see her when I was in extreme discomfort from a GI episode. I live in Miami and drove 1.5 hours just to see her after reading all of her amazing reviews. She took her time with me and listening attentively to everything I had to say. Since that time I have been back two other times for further evaluation and review of test results and she was equally patient, understanding and calming. She not only does a thorough review of you clinically; but also physically exams you. I am highly impressed and amazed by the use of the GI Alliance portal and how quickly Dr. Silverstein has responded to all my messages within 24 hours. I can't begin to stress how incredibly impressed I am by this. She even took the time to call me personally on a Friday later afternoon to offer me reassurance to what was going on with me medically. I am still in the process of doing further tests; etc; but no matter what the outcome is I feel confident in my choice of this incredible physician. I know I will be heard and well taken care of. In this day and age a physician such as Dr. Silverstein is a rarity. Her energy and positive attitude only adds to her amazing qualities. I feel blessed that I found her.
I had a scheduled endoscopy with a different physician who was called away on a family emergency. Dr. Silverstein stepped in to take over. I was extremely anxious as I have medical PTSD. Dr. Silverstein was so kind, understanding, and supportive that I can't recommend her more highly.

The office of Dr. Silverstein and herself are very kind. I like the fact that Dr. Silverstein actually listens to the patient. Developes a plan with the patient. Keeps in contact with the patient to assure the treatment is being carried out. If that is what you like I highly recommend Dr. Silverstein.
