Testimonials

"Dr. Silk performed my LASIK about a week and a half ago. I have been seeing him for my eye care for a few months now, leading up to my LASIK and he has been wonderful. He has a great bedside manner and is a true, honest professional.

I would recommend him for LASIK and also for general ophthalmology any day."

"I would like to thank you for my successful cataract surgeries! My vision has improved tremendously and hope it will get better with time. Your skills and care have made my experience a lot less scary! Thanks again to you and your staff. "

"I had a weekend emergency with my right eye. I had gotten some debris that had been implanted in my cornea. Early Saturday morning, Dr. Silk had agreed to me meet at his office off hours and he removed the debris. I am very grateful that he came into the office on the weekend to take care of my eye emergency. I was in his office for a few minutes and he removed the debris. I highly recommend Dr. Silk!"

"We wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your quality care, in a timely manner and making patients feel like they were important to you and not just a 'number.'" 

"The downside of saying good things about Dr. Silk and his associates is that they ask me to do it again and again. I keep worrying that a good review will stimulate even more business for them and I will be left behind - - but it hasn't happened yet. :-)

My late wife and I discovered Dr Silk about twelve or thirteen years ago, when he performed a cornea transplant for her. She did not tolerate mediocrity, and Dr. Silk passed with flying colors! We watched his practice grow and expand over the ensuing years, and have been impressed with the caliber of professionals and staff that have joined his practice. My experience with them, thus far, has been sterling!

Furthermore, Dr, Silk's network of colleagues is equally awesome. Having a "pinch-hitter" leave his family Thanksgiving Dinner to respond to a near emergency conveyed a powerful message to us. Anyone with a network like this, is worth knowing!

I keep thinking that "I'm on borrowed-time" and "when is something going to puncture my balloon" - - but it hasn't happened yet!"

"Dr. Silk has been wonderful during the past three years I've been seeing him.  At my last visit he said I didn't need to see him about my corneal transplants again unless I experience difficulty. I've been telling folks how great he is. I never had a problem or complaint with Dr. Silk or with any of the folks who assist him.  It was a good experience all around."

"I would like to thank Doctor Silk and his staff at his office and at the Surgical Center. They ALL were so nice and made me feel so calm and relaxed. I have recommended Doctor Silk and his staff to my friends and neighbors. Did a great job, no pain, no problems...I will go back when I need the other eye done. I had a great experience."

"I had vision problems because of droopy eyelids. In order to correct the problem my eye doctor referred me to Dr. Rajjoub for corrective surgery. During my first visit Dr Rajjoub explained me in detail the procedure and what discomforts, if any, I should expect during my recovery. Dr Rajjoub recommended that in addition to correct my droopy eyelids I should also have my eyebrows raised. Overall, Dr Rajjoub was very caring, compassionate making sure that I was as comfortable as possible during the surgery. She performed the procedure in a highly professional manner, and I had no pain after the anesthetic wore off, and by the time of my post surgery visit most of the swelling has disappeared. I highly recommend Dr. Rajjoub."

"I started wearing glasses since I was 8 years old. Since then, my vision deteriorated until I was in my twenties. I couldn’t even see anything, not even something half a foot in front of me. My vision was bad. I heavily relied on glasses and contacts. Even with vision insurance, I would have to pay so much money for glasses with the extra thin lenses or the expensive contact lenses since most manufacturers did not make contacts with my prescription. When I was 22, I went to a LASIK consultation and they informed me that my vision was too high and that I was not eligible for LASIK. However, to check back in a couple years as technology improves. I went back about 7 years later and was told the exact same thing. About a year ago, one of my coworkers got LASIK done and she just raved about it. She gave me Dr.Silk’s contact information but I was hesitant to make my initial consultation. After being turned down twice for LASIK, I didn’t have high hopes for this time around. I finally made the appointment and traveled from Maryland to Virginia to see Dr. Silk. Based off my cornea and prescription, I was once again not eligible to LASIK. But, I would be a candidate for ICL surgery.

I went back to do some pre-op eye measurements. I got my surgery appointment with all of the necessary information and drugs ahead of time. By the time surgery rolled around, I wasn’t even nervous. I was excited to be able to finally see without any contacts or glasses. The surgery process was smooth. Dr. Silk was wonderful, calm, and professional. He would tell me what he was doing and what was going to happen next. The nurses in the operating room had amazing bed side manners and made sure that I was comfortable the whole entire time. I never felt uneasy or uncomfortable before or during the surgery. The surgery lasted about an hour and for the first time in 27 years, I was able to see the world without a lenses. As with ICL surgery, my vision was a hazy at first. But I could still see better than before my surgery. The next morning, I woke up and I could immediately see around my bedroom. It felt surreal. Dr. Silk made it happen. Thank you."

"Best service I've ever had – very professional. I appreciate Dr. Rajjoub's expertise, she is knowledgeable and friendly and always takes time to explain any questions you might have."

"I love Dr. Bishop! I've been there about four times now – each time with Dr. Bishop. I enjoy going to the Annandale office for my annual appointments. The staff is always so kind, cordial, and efficient."

"Dr. Bishop is fantastic as always! I am a picky person but my entire family sees Dr. Bishop."

"I highly recommend Dr. Rajjoub. Last winter she performed two separate eyelid surgeries on the inside of my lower left eyelid to remove chalazia which were obstructing my tear ducts. Both surgical procedures went smoothly as did the healing/recovery periods which took about 6 weeks respectively. Dr. Rajjoub is a gifted surgeon, so confident and compassionate. She listens to you and explains things very clearly. The staff are very professional and helpful in answering patient questions and returning calls when you leave a message that requires feedback. My advice to you as you read this review: look no further. Dr. Rajjoub is the best surgeon, and you will discover that, should you make an appointment to see her and entrust her to take care of you and your eyes."

"Dr. Silk performed cataract surgery on my husband and on me in the past and my vision is perfect, as is my husband's. Dr. Silk was amazing, is held in high regard and I wouldn't trust anyone else with this important surgical procedure. All went well for both us in our healing. I am grateful to Dr. Silk for his expertise, his bedside manner and for the follow up care."

"I’ve spent my whole life wearing glasses. Many times crying at the frustration of wearing the glasses. Pressure sores were common on my nose which were painful. Contacts were extremely difficult for doctors to fit to my eyes it seemed. Basic things like showering was extremely challenging because I couldn’t see the writing on the bottles.  Dr. Silk changed my life. I received LASIK in February 2023. It’s now Aug 2023. He gave me better vision than I could have ever imagined!! Thank you for changing my life!! The whole team was excellent. They educated me and were kind with every visit."

"I received PRK from Dr. Silk less than a year ago and I was completely satisfied with the results. 20/20 in both eyes and there was always a quick response time from him and his team whenever I had any questions/concerns. No joke, I went to 7 different consultations around the NOVA area and chose Dr. Silk because he had the best bedside manner, provided free touch ups in case if I was not satisfied after the surgery, and got me in contact with a former PRK patient so I can ask him questions on his personal experience. I would give more than 5 stars if I had the chance and if I know any friends or family who is interested in receiving PRK or LASIK, I will send them to this office. Thank you again!"

"When I made the decision to get LASIK, I began by reading reviews for local doctors. The number of 5-star reviews for Dr. Silk, and the fact that his office was able to schedule me for a visit immediately brought me in.

From the beginning, Dr. Silk was extremely meticulous about explaining the details of the procedure, and the benefits and risks. His pricing was very clear (no hidden fees or office visit copays) and better than other eye centers in the area.

I’d highly recommend Dr. Silk. He’s very professional, has a great staff, and puts a high priority on patient care and comfort."

"Dr. Silk pulled no punches and prepared me for my procedure. It was just what I was told and it was totally painless. Finding Dr. Silk was the best thing that ever happened to me. I have the vision of a two year old and it is because of the great job of Dr. Silk and his staff. I salute you for a job well done."

"My regular ophthalmologist referred me to Dr. Silk for a bacterial infection that caused a severe corneal erosion. Three other doctors had told me I would lose the sight in that eye. My eye looked like a rotten tomato when I came to him. Dr. Silk not only saved the sight in that eye, I have very minimal scarring. He is not only a fantastically skilled doctor; he explained everything about the treatment so I could, even in my frantic state, easily understand it. He even met me in his office on a Saturday and Sunday during the treatment regime because he wanted to closely monitor the situation and didn't want it to wait until Monday when the offices reopened. He was kind, compassionate, and caring."

"Dr. Rajjoub was fantastic! She is kind, compassionate, and extremely knowledgeable. I am so glad I found her. She is the third eye surgeon I interviewed before having the procedure done, and the only one that finally gave me the confidence to trust her with my eyes. I only wish I had found her earlier and gotten the procedure done years ago. I can see soooo much better now. Thank you Dr. Rajjoub!"

I visited two ophthalmologists and neither diagnosed by condition. When I found Dr. Rajjoub through my work at the Prince William Chamber, I visited and she was the first who suspected that I could have a more rare form of ocular lymphoma. She conducted the surgical biopsy and knew from the sample that her diagnosis was correct. Dr. Rajjoub tells it like it is and was refreshingly forthcoming & candid when describing my situation and options. Her expertise put me on a path to treatment and recovery. Since then, I've been the target of curiosity for a number of physician offices none of whom were able to diagnose my condition -- with the exception of Dr. Rajjoub! I give her an A+.

"I don’t think I could be happier about my LASIK surgery with Dr. Silk. He is very informative and answers any questions or concerns that you have regarding your eyes and the LASIK procedure. I was very nervous about the surgery beforehand, but during the actual treatment Dr. Silk and the assistant kept me very calm and used really encouraging words, just telling me how well I was doing and exactly what steps were next. It was very hazy afterwards and there was some discomfort, but after sleeping for like 6 hours after the surgery, I woke up and had a huge smile on my face because I could see! Amazing results, I am very happy because I was very nearsighted. Make sure you take the prescribed drops and artificial tears, sometimes my eyes can get pretty dry. I am very satisfied! Thank you Silk Vision!"

"Dr. Silk and his fine staff have been treating me for several years and I have always been exceptionally pleased with the care and attention I’ve received. Recently, Dr. Silk performed cataract surgery on both my eyes (two weeks apart) and the results are thrilling! My eyes are still healing, but the improvement in my vision is nothing short of astounding. I can see well at all distances, no longer need to use a magnifying glass and reading glasses to see my computer, read, or pay my bills. My depth perception is normal. I can drive and clearly read all types of signs that are far away. I couldn’t be happier with the results.

Thank you, Dr. Silk, for giving me back my life."

"First of all, although it’s not a walk-in type clinic and the office was full I was admitted on an emergency basis and was offered to wait. It took me just 20 min (!!!) before the Dr. Silk helped me. Second, while waiting in the lobby I noticed how busy the front desk lady was: she had to respond to non-stop phone calls (2 lines) and greet the patients and process their paperwork. She was incredibly polite and EFFICIENT. Third, Dr.Silk is a very nice person and my case (foreign body stuck in the eye) took us 5 min from Hi to Bye including thorough examination and the foreign body removal. So I am sure none of awaiting patients cursed me =)For the first time in the last 2.5 years living in VA I was happy to pay co-pay since that was an extremely EFFICIENT visit! "

"Dr. Rajjoub perform corrective surgery on my eyelids and eyebrows due to obscured vision caused by my eyelids sagging into my field of vision. Prior to seeing Dr. Rajjoub, I had a consultation with another plastic surgeon to address the corrective surgery and after the visit I was left with a lack of confidence related to the procedure, approach and results. He made it sound complex with iffy results.

When I went for a consultation with Dr. Rajjoub, she explained her approach to correcting my sagging eyelids that was different than the first consultation, more straight forward (as I had imagined). I was presented all of the pros and cons, of the corrective surgery and she did a great job of explaining the procedure in detail and managing my expectations. In addition, we discussed the options for improving the appearance of scar tissue below each eye. She said that she wold look into alternative (non-surgical) methods being tested to correct the appearance of the scare tissue and get back to me prior to my surgery date. She did get back to me and took the time to explain the progress being made on the non-surgical approach to improving the appearance of scare tissue and why she thought it wasn't a good fit for my situation. When I asked about correcting my eyelids and scare tissue at the same time, she said that the eyelid surgery can cause swelling where the scare tissue is which can have an adverse effect on the stitches correcting the scare tissue. Based on Dr. Rajjoub's advice, I went ahead with the corrective surgery on my eyelids. The one request that I made was that I didn't want my eyebrows and eyelids to look stretched. I wanted them to look natural.

The corrective lid and brow surgery looks GREAT! You cannot tell (other than knowing what I looked like before surgery) that I had work done on my eyes. There was swelling below the eyes that would have had a negative effect on the stitched to correct scare tissue. My follow up appointment is in February and at that time I will schedule surgery the correct the scare tissue below both eyes.

Thank you Dr. Rajjoub!"

"Dr. Silk performed my LASIK surgery a few weeks ago and since then I have been seeing 20/20 (or better) without glasses or contacts for the first time in over 20 years. Dr. Silk was very thorough with all the initial testing, provided a detailed explanation of the procedure (from beginning to end), and provided excellent after-care ensuring to answer all my questions (I had a lot). It is easy to get nervous, after all, it is your vision, but Dr. Silk’s professionalism and confidence in the procedure put me at ease. It is also nice to know that Dr. Silk continues to care for his own patients after the LASIK procedure rather than referring them elsewhere. It’s also worth noting that the office is clean and the staff is polite and receptive. I’m so excited to be seeing this well and couldn’t be happier with the overall experience."

"When I was ready for cataract surgery my ophthalmologist referred me to Dr. Silk and I am so grateful that he did. I have been more than just satisfied with the care I have received, I have been truly impressed. I was treated well by everyone involved from the moment I called to make an appointment through the aftercare following surgery. Everyone is friendly, considerate, thorough, knowledgeable and professional. Various options were explained to me but I was never pressured to agree to any process or type of lens implant that may have been more profitable for the center. I was encouraged to do what I was comfortable with. I would recommend Silk Vision & Surgical Center to anyone considering eye surgery. "

"I recently completed a cross-linking course of treatment as a study participant under Dr. Silk’s care. The treatment itself was exactly as expected from my own research and made a definite improvement in the vision of the affected eye. Dr. Silk and his staff are very helpful and professional. The cross-linking procedure for my Keratoconus has given me options for further corrective eye procedures that were not previously recommended for my situation. I recommend Dr. Silk’s office to anyone looking to do cross-linking in the future. "

"Dr.  Rajjoub and the Staff at Silk Vision is the best. She is the only Ophthalmologist I found who finally figured out what was wrong with me.  Dr. Rajjoub makes you feel at ease and takes the time to explain what she did and what I need to do. I've seen her twice and have never felt hurried. Wonderful experience. If your looking for an Outstanding Ophthalmologist,  look no further, she's the best. To top it off, today she said if I ever have any questions, to call, she is always available.  The staff at Silk Vision is fantastic as well. I have been to the Manassas and Annandale offices.  And for the record, I have seen some doctors (Orthopedic) recently  that make you feel like a "Paycheck" and not a "Patient".  That's the furthest thing you'll feel here. WONDERFUL..."

"I wore glasses for 17 years and I decided to have LASIK surgery because I wanted to enjoy outdoor activities with my family without the hassle of wearing contact lenses. Two weeks ago I had my LASIK done with Dr. Silk and I was extremely happy with my result. My eye vision is now 20/15. Dr. Silk exceeded my expectations. He examined my eyes thoroughly before the LASIK procedure. He took his time to explain what I was to expect before, during and after the procedures. I was able to see clearly after a post-surgery nap. The next day, I found my eye vision to be perfect and I no longer need glasses or contact lenses anymore. The receptionist at his office is also very nice, polite and helpful. I am so glad that I had this surgery and that I chose Dr. Silk. Thank you, Dr. Silk and your staff; I recommend Dr. Silk to anyone interested in LASIK. "

"I had cataract surgery six weeks ago by Dr. Silk, and couldn’t be happier. I was very nervous prior to the procedure, the thought of someone getting near my eye with a knife was not comfortable, but Dr. Silk went over the entire process, including what I would or would not see and feel. That helped a great deal, and the surgery was a breeze. Really. I was very comfortable; there was no pain and Dr. Silk told me during the procedure what he was going to do and what sensation I would be feeling. I’m exceptionally pleased with my vision now as it’s clear and bright and crisp in the eye that had the cataract. Very easy healing process; the post-op instructions were easy to understand. I’d recommend Dr. Silk to anyone. Thanks for a no-stress experience!"

"Dr. Silk is very thorough and professional. We were referred from an urgent care center and he was able to see us the same day. He explained everything he was doing and why and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the care he provided."

"I was having trouble wearing contacts because of my dry eyes and didn’t want to wear glasses anymore. At this point I decided to have LASIK surgery. Dr. Silk helped treat my dry eyes first and then I had my LASIK surgery. My vision is great and I’m ecstatic with the results. I’m 20/20 and no longer have to worry about putting in contacts or wearing glasses. Dr. Silk really took his time and did a great job. I tell all my friends who are thinking about LASIK to definitely go visit Dr. Silk."

"I was referred to Dr. Silk by my regular optometrist when I recently lost the vision in my left eye due to a severe contact lens scratch to my cornea. Dr. Silk prescribed a combination of medications that started my vision restoration within a week, and I’m continuing to recover. I’ve never waited for more than 5 to 7 minutes to be seen by Dr. Silk, once I arrive for my appointment; he’s very time-efficient, so visits to his office don’t negatively impact my busy day! I highly recommend!"

"I had LASIK surgery with Dr. Silk just over a week ago. I’m so happy with the results! Having a personal doctor with his own office is so much better than going to one of the LASIK centers. Everything was laid out plain and simple. The process was straightforward and now I don’t need my glasses at all! I highly recommend Dr. Silk over other places because the service is personal- you are treated as an individual, not just the next patient. Dr. Silk and her nurse assistant made the surgery as pleasant as possible and talked me through the whole process. If you want LASIK, this is the place to go."

"I was recently diagnosed with Cataract and Surgery was done By Dr. Silk. When I met Dr. Silk on the first day at his office I was so impressed with his clinical Skill and the caution he expressed regarding mild inflammation in the eye I immediately agreed with his advice. His Postoperative care was highly commendable. I have no hesitation to attest for his service if someone needs that. He is a compassionate and skillful eye surgeon. I am thankful for the best services provided by other members of the office. "

"Great doctor! He makes you feel comfortable and explains things to you! The girls at the front desk are super nice! I recommend Dr. Silk to anyone! "

"I recently had LASIK surgery with Dr. Silk as my surgeon. I can’t recommend him enough! I had lots of questions (after all, you only get two eyeballs and they don’t grow back) but he answered them all. Both his pre-surgical and after-care are very meticulous and professional. Two other LASIK centers had evaluated me for surgery (one for, one against) when I came to Dr. Silk. It was his thoroughness and insistence on details that led me to trust my eyes and vision to him, and I couldn’t be happier. "

"Dr Silk was recommended by a local eye doctor for cataract surgery. It turned out to be a good recommendation. He is very professional and good in explaining what he will do what he has done and the next steps. He took his time in l understanding my history (I previously I had two retina surgery in the eye that had cataract). The choice of hospital for surgery was good as was the additional laser procedure. All in all I am very pleased with Dr Silk and would recommend him to my friends and acquaintances needing eye surgery. "

"I was referred to Dr. Silk by my optometrist when my eye was at a crisis point! Dr. Silk and his office manager, Nicole, were immediately responsive to my situation and provided medical advice and emotional support. I was impressed (and greatly relieved) when Dr. Silk went the “extra mile” by providing me with his cell phone number, which I did need to use on Thanksgiving Day. Again, Dr. Silk was immediately responsive providing a connection with a backup physician who saw me within two hours on a holiday! Because my health is impacted by being on chemotherapy for breast cancer, Dr. Silk coordinated with my oncologist to address any complicating considerations and to ensure the pending surgery for a cornea transplant was scheduled at the best possible time between treatments. Prior to the surgery, Dr. Silk was very sensitive to selecting the best possible tissue from the cornea bank. In his follow-up to the surgery, he has been very accessible and supportive. I have appreciated his thoroughness, thoughtful decision-making and sensitive approach to my individual and unique situation. In addition, the attitude of caring and concern exhibited by the office manager has also contributed to a very positive feeling throughout this journey. I recommend Dr. Silk without reservation."

"Dr. Silk is very professional and an excellent eye surgeon. I went for a LASIK eye consultation and was immediately impressed with his thoroughness in evaluating my eyes and then every time I met up with him through to finishing the LASIK surgery. I am stunned that I can now see 20/20 without glasses and have no halos or glare issues. Other eye surgeries & issues are more his forte (he is fully trained in all aspects of the eye) but the care he took with my eyes indicates to me that he is methodical and truly cares about his patient’s vision. I would highly recommend Silk Vision."

"I was diagnosed with cataracts that left me virtually blind this past July. I am only 26 and this was a complete shock as I had perfect vision until a few months before. Dr. Silk was able to get me in for cataract surgery by mid-September. I chose a multifocal lens which helps preserve more visual function than a traditional lens and would allow me to continue with medical school to graduate on time. He and his staff were great at accommodating my busy schedule as well as going over the various options for lens implants, costs and financing options to get me what I needed. I would highly recommend him."

"Dear Dr. Silk,

It has been my good fortune to have been referenced to your care for my recent cataract operation. As you know, I had a large cataract in my left eye that seriously impaired my vision. Being unable to distinguish colors to perfection was my main concern since I have been an artist for over 50 years and a certified teaching in the fine art of China Painting since the 1970’s.

You performed the surgery on my left eye on March 18, 2008, at the Inova Surgical Center. Your operating technique was totally painless and was performed with the ultimate care and sensitivity. Throughout the surgery, you kept me informed of your profess and reassured me at every step of the procedure. Also to be commended are the staff at the Inova Surgical Center. This team was very professional and excelled in making me feel secure and comfortable before, during, and after my surgery.

Beginning the day after surgery, your post-operative care has been outstanding. You have been most helpful in assessing my recovery progress. You have also been a candid and honest advisor on the macular degeneration that also affects my left eye. Unlike many doctors who would immediately recommend proceeding with surgery on my right eye to remove the cataract there, you suggested a re-evaluation of my condition in December 2008 to determine if further action is required and would be beneficial. Given the positive progress since the procedure on my left eye, you have provided me with a proper eyeglass prescription that I have been able to fill at an eyeglass center close to my home.

Also, I would like to recognize and thank Nicole, your Office Manager, for her graciousness. At every visit, she has made me feel at home. She has been very congenial and ensures that my appointments are planned to suit my needs. She also follows-up with me the day prior to my appointments to ensure that I am still able to attend each scheduled visit.

To anyone seeking expert vision care, especially people that require complex eye surgery of any kind, I highly recommend Dr. Silk and the Silk Vision Center. I can personally assure you that his knowledge, his surgical abilities, and his pre and post-operative care are all outstanding. His techniques are state of the art and his willingness to provide candid feedback and advice will ensure your satisfaction. He has met and exceeded my every expectation. I’m sure he will do the same for you!"

"My mother was having trouble seeing. I researched and found Dr. Silk. Let me say this, my mother is NOT a fan of doctors. But we found Dr. Silk caring, kind, & compassionate. My mother is not a native English speaker, but Dr. Silk explained everything carefully enough so that she understood and was comfortable and at ease. She even trusted him enough to undergo two cataract surgeries under his sure hands. She underwent both surgeries with the least amount of nervousness and was completely fearless for the second one! I felt he made my mother’s case (which was quite severe) a priority and his treatment of her was exceptional. I highly recommend his services."

"The front office staff were very professional and pleasant. The office was very professional and decorated very lovely. Dr. Silk explained the entire procedure and even talked with my son about the procedure and my concerns as well. Dr. Silk was very helpful and very attentive during the procedure and especially after the procedure.

I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank you for the fantastic improvement in vision obtained as a result of my recent cataract surgery. Prior to surgery, my vision was severely limited even with eyeglasses. After the surgery, I no longer require glasses for daily activities and can see better than I have for many years. I had worm eyeglasses since high school.

Your staff and the staff of the Fairfax Surgical Center were excellent during the course of my treatment and surgery. I could not have asked for better results."

"recently had cataract surgery and Dr. Silk was my surgeon. I was very impressed with the staff in his office, the staff at VHC, and with Dr. Silk personally. In the office the staff was friendly, helpful, always greeted me in a professional, caring manner. They were very accommodating, when I got lost, the first time I visited, and was 45 minutes late. They were so nice and allowed me to keep my appointment, with only smiles and encouragement. Dr. Silk was very helpful explaining the procedure, answering all my questions, and taking any fears I had away. As a result of the surgery, I am amazed at the results. I felt as if a miracle had occurred when the patch over my eye was removed, and I could see. Everything was so bright and clear. I had no idea how poor my vision was until I was actually able to see. I would recommend Dr. Silk and his staff to anyone who has eye issues. The experience was painless and very rewarding."

"The surgery was about what I expected but the results were beyond belief. So much involved in so little time. Excellent job.

I had been told by two other doctors that I would lose the use of my eye as a result of an infection. Dr. Silk was able to save most of my vision and was, in my opinion, a real miracle worker. I never thought I would ever be able to see anything and he was able to save a considerable amount of my vision. He also explained everything to me in terms I could understand. He was patient and very caring. He followed up with me over the weekend and met me in the office on his day off because of his commitment to my health.

Thank you!"

"I recently had cataract surgery performed by Dr. Silk. The whole process was easy and efficient. Dr. Silk thoroughly explained the procedure, helped to schedule things with the surgical center and responded to my questions. The surgery and after-care were excellent. Dr. Silk is very skillful, competent and approachable. I highly recommend him for eye care and surgery."

"Dr. Silk was very thorough when it comes to examination and treatment. He always made me feel at ease and comfortable. On my first office visit, he knew what kind of treatment I needed. We really didn’t discuss any other option at that time because there was none for me. At the situation I was in, I knew surgery was the only way. As soon as the pre-certification was sent, I went right on it. I didn’t have second thoughts. I immediately put my trust on Dr. Silk, and I didn’t regret it. He helped me get my life back.

I had an excellent experience. What I like most about Dr. Silk is his bedside manner. For me, he’s got a very good one. He made me feel relaxed during and after my procedures. He came and visited me in the recovery room right after surgery to check on me, and made sure I was all right. A gesture (moral support) I needed during those times, especially I didn’t have anybody with me before and after my surgeries. Overall, I am very happy and satisfied with Dr. Silks’ expertise and excellent services. I have found an excellent ophthalmologist and I am very thankful for that. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others."

"Everything from the first visit, the surgeries, and to the last followup visit was perfect. Could not have asked for any more! Highly recommend Dr. Silk and his staff if you need cataract surgery."
