If you suspect or have been told that you’ll need surgery to correct an issue in your foot and ankle, you want to be operated on by the best in the business. And while all surgeons have put in countless hours and have a wealth of experience successfully performing surgeries, the simple truth is that they all aren’t built the same.
In today’s blog, we explain what sets Dr. Silverman out from the rest so that you can make an informed decision when choosing a surgeon for your foot or ankle operation.
Don’t Just Choose Any Surgeon
Your friends and family may be able to provide you with some recommendations for where to eat when you’re in the city, but they probably don’t have a lot of experience with foot and ankle surgeons in the area, so it can be tough to know where to turn for a recommendation. Below, we hope that we can help explain what sets Dr. Silverman out from the rest.
While it’s true that the vast majority of orthopedic surgeons are great at what they do, we believe that Dr. Silverman stands out from the rest. For starters, he does everything he can to be with his patients throughout the entire process. Your care doesn’t end when the last stitch is in place. There’s pre-surgical consults, pre-operative rehab programs, the day of the operation, post-procedure care at the surgical facility, individualized rehabilitation program development and then follow-up visits where he’ll work to ensure everything goes as planned. He’s with you from the beginning until recovery is complete. Many surgeons can’t say that.
Going the extra mile for his patients is one of the main reasons that he opened his own private practice. While he still performs surgeries at larger clinics like Greenway Surgery Center, Dr. Silverman was motivated to open his clinic so that he would have more freedom to really ensure every patient got the care and attention they deserve. We’re not motivated by patient quotas or required to see a certain number of patients in a day. We can be more selective and take more time with each patient because that’s what they deserve.
And finally, Dr. Silverman goes above and beyond for his patients by always looking for new ways to improve his techniques and his overall knowledge of best practices. He attends orthopedic conventions all over the country and routinely connects with professionals in the area and across the globe to share his knowledge and learn from the best. When new techniques or improved surgical hardware hits the market, he’s oftentimes one of the first to perfect the techniques he believes in. He does this so that he can continually improve the high standard of care that he sets for himself.
