    Out of all of my decades of being treated by a primary care physician, Dr. Silva has been the best that I could ever ask for. Dr. Silva motivates me to want to do better when taking care of my health. Dr. Silva explains everything in terms which I can understand and gives me adequate advise to make good choices for my personal health. The doctor also encourages me when he notices that I am doing a good job at implementing his care plan for me.
