"Doctors take an oath not to do harm. Dr. Trites did me harm. She is very sweet, but she lacks common medical knowledge, so in my opinion, she should not have a license to practice medicine. She did not take my pain seriously, she withheld important information that was in my test results, and she refused to treat my condition. She doesn’t think the birth control pill has side effects, and she doesn’t think fibroids can cause pain and bleeding. Twice she told me I “shouldn’t have side effects” from the birth control pill. Then I went to her with heavy bleeding that was causing anemia and crippling abdominal pain. She said, “It’s probably just perimenopause,” but ordered an ultrasound that found a fibroid. When she emailed me the ultrasound results, she didn’t mention the fibroid. She wrote, “Your pelvic ultrasound shows no signs of anything that would cause irregular bleeding or pelvic pain.” I asked her if the fibroid mentioned in my ultrasound report could cause pain and bleeding. She cut and pasted the same answer, “Your pelvic ultrasound shows no signs of anything that would cause irregular bleeding or pelvic pain.” I asked her again to address the fibroid. She said yes, I have a fibroid, but “this would not contribute to bleeding.” It’s common knowledge that fibroids can cause extreme pain and heavy bleeding, so I have no idea why Dr. Trites said otherwise. I highly recommend finding a different doctor if you want one with basic medical knowledge who takes your pain seriously."

"I really recommend Dr. Bender he & his staff are the best! "

"I switched to Dr. Silverstein when I was pregnant with my second child. She immediately gained my confidence as she was very thorough and intelligent in all of her evaluations. She is matter of fact/ speaks to the science/ medicine - which I appreciated as it helped me understand how she landed on her recommendations and conclusions. This also gave me confidence that she was making the proper medical decisions for me and my baby. Dr. Silverstein helped safely deliver my beautiful baby girl and I will always be appreciative that I was in her good hands. I have also continued to see her post baby maneuvering questions and testing of a lump in my breast, questions around irregular menstrual cycles and pre-menopause conversations. I highly recommend Dr. Silverstein. "

"This doctor charges you to give you test results over the phone. so your visit will cost you double co-pay. be aware"

"It took me two visits to get it done. They called me once and scheduled me when it would be impossible to get what I needed done. Then I came back a second time to get the test done for real. Once the results came in, she gingerly made the weakest possible effort to contact me. I reached the phone like 3 seconds after it stopped ringing, called back immediately, and she was all of a sudden missing and never called me back, even after several messages left. She didn't care. She had a 1970s gym coach demeanor in general - not friendly, not warm. The unprofessionalism was still a little shocking. Office staff is nice enough."
