Dean N. Silas, MD

I was pleased w/the caution the hospital displayed for COVID-19 exposure. The colonoscopy took 5 hours - I sat in a chair waiting for better than 3 hrs., much of that wait was caused by an older EKG when a newer one was available AFTER an ablation. One of the nurses commented that I had the world's longest colonoscopy I understand the delay was a concern for my health and I believe Dr. Silas is terrific at his profession.

Fantastic colonoscopy. No side effects, very happy w/team, including anesthesiologist and nurses.

Good.

Dr. Silas was very respectful and helpful. He listed attentively to my questions and we worked together to outline future follow ups related to my EoE.

Excellent experiences with this provider across all visits.

Dr. Silas has been very helpful throughout my visits with him. He was quick to order all the needed tests and diagnose me. He always called me right after results came in to discuss the results and next steps. He is very knowledgeable but explains things in terms I can understand. He also seems to genuinely care and that shows from his quick response time and consistent follow ups.

Dr. Dean Silas is a great gastrologist.

We always have a great experience with Dr. Silas. X is a non-verbal quadriplegic adult who is totally dependent on adults for care. Dr. Silas understands X's needs.

Dr. Silas office is sometimes hard to get in touch with. But the biggest frustration with the office is the hold time when I call the office. I have never called the office and been on hold less than 15-20 mins. I hope they somehow improve the amount of time spent waiting to have an appointment made or a question regarding medication or his J-tube addressed. This is the biggest frustration about the office.

Dr. Silas, is always friendly & takes the time to go over my last visit before he enters the exam rm. The office staff is very welcoming, & very efficient.

I always look to see if Noreen is working. She is very caring & knowledgeable -

Dr Silas always caring and listens to what I have to say and discusses any ongoing issues in regards to GI problems. Has followup visits to assist in making things better and discusses need for any other Specialists I may need to see down the line.

Dr. Silas was very professional and easy to understand.

Dr. Silas seemed to know his field. Had a endoscopy, which went well, nothing found but still have no idea as to what my pain/problem might have been.

Dr. Silas was great - very straight forward, however - the tech got the prescription wrong - I don't know why - then she talked with the doc & came back.

visit was good everything I expected to happen happened test scheduled for end of June

Very good.

Dr Silas went beyond the call of duty in my case. He put me in for my colonoscopy in a already tight schedule because this was the only week in my schedule I could do it.

It was a very informative visit, regarding what to expect with my upcoming colonoscopy.

he showed me care and concerns all the visits.

This provider seemed to push a prescription for my problem & said it may be expensive & didn't know if ins. would cover. Ins. does not cover & costs $500.00 and would have to stay on it to effective! Saw my primary MD & gave me a simple solution with OTC options!

Very good visit. Very good doctor.
