Professor Silburn has been treating me for 10 years , has always been very professional and supportive, he shows an interest in you as a person so you don’t feel like just a number. He has away of distracting you by conversation so I hardly feel the injections. He is always willing to listen to any health issues. Professor Silburn is an amazing human without his help over the years I would hate to think where I would be as far as my health goes .

Prof Silburn is exceptional in his knowledge, his evaluation of sometimes conflicting responses, his understanding, his patient communication. He is exceptional in every way. He is simply the best.
