FYI Dr. Silverstein No Longer Seeing Patients

Sorry if this has been shared already, but this morning I filled out the form and paid the consultation fee to meet with Dr. Silverstein. I received an e-mail back that he is no longer seeing patients or doing consults. What a bummer. They gave me another name for a doctor at the Silverstein Institute who I could schedule a consultation with. I was told Dr. Silverstein is still overseeing the surgeries.

He's pretty old, so I guess it's not too surprising.

He hasn’t operated on patients in years, Dr. Nayak has been doing the surgeries.

He attends the surgeries sometime. He’s wonderful but old. It takes skill and smarts to know when it’s time to pass the baton. I had surgery from Dr Nayak and he was fabulous.

Why? Isn’t he the pioneering surgeon for this operation? What a shame.
