“Dr Silva's direct honest approach to my care was the best I've experienced”

I came to Dr Silva to treat my varicose veins, the treatment was explained clearly to me in a way that was easy for me to understand. The treatment went well producing great results with very minimal pain. Dr Silva not only discussed my treatment but took the time to discuss my overall health with compassion and honesty.

“Amazing precision and skill in regenerative medicine”

Dr. Silva is extremely precise and methodical in his treatments. As a career firefighter and a past athlete, I have sustained a lot of reoccurring irritations to injured areas of my body. He has treated my low back, hip, shoulder and neck. PRP, prolo, and an oxidative nucleoplasty to an herniated disc have been a saving grace to be able to continue doing my job as a firefighter. Without his treatments I would have been out of the job due to some of my continuous problems. He is innovative and spends a lot of time to develop an appropriate plan for what your body needs. Dr. Silva's bedside manner is wonderful and he has an incredibly kind and diligent staff. In any future care of ailments or injuries, I will always choose Dr. Silva before considering surgery.

“Suffering from Trigger Finger in both hands I was looking fort a nonsurgical alternative. Doctor Silva gave me that option. My hand strength has returned and the pain has decreased to almost nothing.”

I had the most relaxing and informative consultation and treatment I could ask for. Doctor Silva knew exactly what was going on with the inner workings of my hands and exactly where the inflammatory problem areas were. With my decision made, doctor Silva went to work with skill and precision on the most affected areas in my hands that prevented me from performing tasks in need of raw hand strength. After one treatment, my hand strength is returning and the pain that was constant and intense, is now almost unnoticeable. There is great truth and healing in regenerative medicine and a nonsurgical option for me was the best decision I could have made. A quick procedure with a quick recovery time is what doctor Silva made possible for me. Thanks, Avery.

“Instantaneous results”

Dr. Silva was fantastic. He was attentive and listened to the long history of lower back issues that I've experienced. He completely understood my condition and approached the diagnosis both clinically and with sincerity. Great bed side manner

“Amazing experience! My knees went from extreme arthritis from so many years of extreme athletics to 100% pain free with one treatment.”

Dr. Silva is very knowledgeable on the latest in sports therapy (I am a veterinarian so I know quite a bit about joints), He did a comprehensive informative exam and took his time to explain everything about the treatment and what to expect. He was very professional and kind. I couldn't ask for a better doctor and a better result.

“Excellent outcome for shoulder PRP treatment, great doctor”

I had PRP treatment for a rotator cuff tear of my left shoulder to avoid surgery. After 12 weeks the outcome on the PRP injected shoulder was as good as the surgical outcome years earlier on my right shoulder. I would choose the interventional approach again if the occasion arises.
My exsperience with Dr Silvia has been excellent and most enjoyable. He is well educated, well spoken and up to date.
I am also a physician and have had stem cell, PRP and Prolo therapies on my shoulders and knees. All of the procedures have led to relief of pain in my joints and better functionality of the treated joints.
Interventional therapies definately have benefit and should be considered as part of any theraputic plan particularly in the case of the musculoskeletal system

“Genuine and thoughtful approach to care”

Although i researched ahead of time, I still felt nervous coming in. Dr. Silva spent so much time with my exam and answering all the questions i had. He was genuine and informative and within the two hours he spent with me, he put me at ease. He explained the options I had in terms that I understood and even added some humor to my fear of needles. The ultrasound was incredible, he pointed out what he was looking at and what was concerning. I've gone through the traditional route of MRIs and surgery and never once experienced that in the past. I can tell he genuinely cares for his patients and is really passionate about what he does.

“Caring doctor with impressive experience in regenerative medicine”

I was so impressed with Dr. Silva. He spends plenty of time with you as the patient so neither you or he are rushed and you leave feeling not only heard but also confident with a treatment plan. I have had Stem cell treatment with a prior Doctor, PRP, and Prolotherapy with Dr. Silva, all to treat osteoarthritis pain, torn hip labrum's and lumbar and sacral pain. I am doing great and plan to repeat if needed in the future to keep pain from returning as it is the best and easiest way to avoid unnecessary surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Silva and the type of treatments he offers to help enable your body to either heal itself or minimize your pain so that you can enjoy being active. He knows what he's doing, and is very experienced which was key for me in deciding to go to Dr. Silva. The whole field of Regenerative types of medicine is very new to some doctors and should only be offered by very experienced doctors. I felt very confident with Dr. Silva and his whole facility & team.

“Pain Relief Finally Achieved!”

From the get-go, I was impressed with Dr. Silva and his staff. Friendly and competent, I knew I was in good hands the second I walked in the door. Dr. Silva is not only extremely fantastic in his knowledge of the human body and the procedures he specializes in, he is so thorough in explaining what was going on with my neck, knee, and foot, using 3D models and pointing out on my x-rays where the trouble was occurring and why. He made what could have been a scary appointment fun and interesting! Of course, people can work themselves up before a procedure, and I certainly fall in that category. I have to say that I was more comfortable during the prp procedure than I expected, and it was not at all bad, truth be told. My recovery was a breeze and each day, the pain I had experienced for 2 plus years melted away little by little. In fact, It's been 9 weeks since getting the prp procedure, and I can say with complete confidence & relief that I experience zero pain! Pain free is a blessing!

“Very pleased with the level of technical expertise & communication”

I was introduced to Dr. Silva via recommendation from a musculoskeletal specialist. My work with Dr. Silva has resembled a “restoration project,” with separate treatments to different areas over 14 months. He has (or is) treating a 25+ year old impact & twisting injury to a foot/ankle; knee issues related to osteoarthritis & improper tracking; and persistent back pain arising from several sources, including a painful annular (disc) tear.

Our most recent work involved injections into a bone (foot) and a disc in my back. This work involved more inherent risk so greater discussion in advance. Dr. Silva responded to my questions with patience and options. His treatment plan was tailored to my needs and his team was on top of everything. Their work was performed with as much focus and attention to detail as it was with kindness and compassion.

From the “patient perspective,” there is not a single part of my experience at I.O.W. that they could have managed better.
