Dr. Silverstein is just the best! Highly knowledgeable and experienced doctors seldom have such a great bedside manner. She is easy to talk to, listens and addresses/explains all of the pertinent issues in an understandable fashion. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Silverstein to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and intelligent yet compassionate gastroenterologist. I will never see anyone else!
Dr. Silverstein is knowledgeable and 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.
Update :Been in and out over the years, Dr. Silverstein did my routine colonoscopy, which was handled correctly and went well. Here's the issue, Dr. Silverstein is too busy, she needs another Doctor, possibly another front office personnel, and two PA's, one to replace Melissa who is far too stubborn and egotistical for my taste. I have been on a medication since 1985 for ulcerative colitis. I also travel out of town 4 days per week for my job. I ran out of the meds and asked Melissa to please renew the prescription. Melissa replied that I should have my primary send over my last Labs, CBC, which was done in October of 24. I requested them to be sent over to Dr.. Silverstein and Dr. Sharma's office said that was done, and gave me the date. I waited a week while traveling, called Dr. Silverstein's office and was now told I had to come in, which I agreed to do, but that I.was traveling for two weeks and only had a 48 hour window before I left again; nothing worked, Melissa dug her heals in and said no, schedule an appointment or I don't renew. I said I.would make an appointment but needed the meds, the answer again was no. So here's the real rub, for three years I have never had a meaningful conversation with Dr.. Silverstein, been all Melissa Mechler, her PA. So let me say this, Melissa is not a Dr. She is a PA, she did not take the same curriculum, the curriculum is very different. She doesn't refer back to Dr. Silverstein, and that's just not acceptable to me. I have left the practice for another in Pompano where I have been assured that I will go over my medical history with the Gastroenterologist, not the PA. There are far too many Doctors in South Florida hiding behind PA's, and I don't like it.

Dr.Silverstein is an amazing doctor. She is caring and always willing to listen to you and follow up if necessary. Office staff is very efficient.
Dr. Taryn Silverstein is absolutely fantastic. She is kind, compassionate, thorough, patient, intelligent, attentive, and comprehensive. Beyond being all of the aforementioned, what I appreciate the most is her willingness to not only treat the presenting problem but find the root cause and discuss preventative care. I wish I could have her as my Primary Care Physician, because she is absolutely the most phenomenal physician I have ever been treated by in South Florida. Update: all the above is still true but I will change South Florida to Nationally because I have now been treated at Mayo Clinic and Memorial Sloan Kettering, and I can confidently say she is the best in the nation. I really can’t express how grateful I am for Dr. Silverstein, she is wonderful.
I was referred to Dr. Silverstein when I came to the area after having the same G.I. doctor for many years. She is instilled a level of confidence in me and I feel that I can trust her with my health issues. She is professional, sensitive, caring, and very informative I would recommend her to anyone
Dr Silverstein is not only one of the best doctor in town but she is also an exceptional human being, you won’t regret having her as your doctor for life.

We shook hands and I’m having a procedure next week.

Dr. Silverstein never gives up on me and believe me it’s easy to give up on me because I’m such a pain and I’m such a problem. Thank you, Dr. Silverstein
I am so glad I found Dr. Taryn Silverstein, she is a fantastic listener and wants to collaborate with you in addressing your health. The only downside was it did take me over 6 months of waiting for an available appointment to establish as a new patient. Nevertheless, I feel I am now in wonderful hands.
Taryn is the absolute best. Really nice staff. Cant say enough good things about her practice. Highly recommend!
Dr Silverstein is superb. She listens and makes the appointment very comfortable.
Dr. Silverstein is a pleasure to be a patient of her office and of her. She is understanding she takes time and patience with you and I appreciate all that she has done for me.
Obvious why she was such high reviews. Outstanding bedside manner and a superb physician.
Dr Silverstein is a hidden gem!!
So thankful I finally found a Gastroenterologist who listens, has compassion, and assisted me in developing a treatment plan that we both agree on.
