Daniel I. Silvershein, MD

Awful, incompetent staff. Made an appointment here and was asked to give all my insurance information over the phone to make sure they were in network. After they supposedly processed it, I was assured that they accepted my insurance and given an appointment. When I arrived for the appointment, Dr Silvershein’s secretary told me she wasn’t sure they took my insurance, called my insurance and kept telling them she didn’t think they took it, even though I had confirmed with BOTH doctor and insurance company that they did. She hung up and told me sorry she didn’t «think» they did. I then called the insurance company AGAIN and confirmed that yes, in fact, they do. Huge waste of time. I didn’t actually see the doctor, this review is for his staff. There are plenty of others in NYC, won’t bother coming back here.

Had a great experience. He was knowledgable and decisive. Mapped out clearly all the posibilities of the virus I was battling, and took time to answer all my questions thoroughly.
All in all really impressed and would recommend.

Dr Silvershein has been my doctor for about eight years now, and I would recommend him. There’s no question that primary care doctors strive to be efficient (read: fast) to offset reimbursement pressure by seeing as many patients as possible, but I think Dr. S is sharp and experienced enough to quickly and accurately diagnose illnesses. He also seems like a genuinely kind and conscientious guy. The biggest negative is that there is often A LOT of waiting time in his office.

Great doctor. He gets to the point, has a very high success rate in identifying health issues in my family and we’ve thrown pretty much everything at him. Been our general practitioner for about 7 years and can’t imagine going to another doctor.

Dr. Silvershein is a very nice man; however, his office and his lack of follow-​up led me to find another doctor.
I had a pretty low blood count and he never bothered to call me and tell me that that I was anemic. I was feeling really tired and exhausted and just attributed it to my job, low and behold, my gyn was the one who diagnosed it. Afterwards, I called Dr. Silvershein’s office and had my labs faxed over. I couldn’t believe it.
Needless to say… I won’t be back to this office.

I’ve been waiting/​begging for the results of my bloodwork from an appointment in July, hence one star.
Why is it so hard to get doctors to provide test results in a timely fashion!!! This is a very basic function of a doctors office and it shouldn’t be so hard to get this information!
Have they figured out a way to collect interest on my lipid panel???
Is there some new-​fangled investment opportunity in hoarding medical records?
ARGH!

He had a great approach and good bedside manner. I feel like I know what is going on with the medical side instead of fumbling through it.

Brilliant physician. He’s younger than most so very easy to talk with and relate to. Also has a great sense of humor and helps to make you feel at ease.
