PATIENT TESTIMONIALS//
“In Mishnah Sanhedrin 4:5 it is said: “Whoever saves a single life is considered by Scripture to have saved the whole world”.The meaning is that you have save the whole world at least twice :-)At the beginning of this journey I told you that I’m putting my life in your hands, and thank you for taking such good a care of them by being very sensitive to my feelings, Human, caring, understanding and most important, professional - I will never forget this!Much appreciation and love.”
“Dr. Silver was a God send!I had a high risk pregnancy and had seen a few other doctors before finding Dr. Silver. They all made me feel that having a healthy, full term pregnancy was impossible and that I needed surgery right away. I felt so overwhelmed and anxious about what would happen to my baby before arriving to Dr. Silver. Being a knowledgeable specialist, she put me at ease from my first appointment. She didn’t rush the process and also encouraged me that she didn’t feel the need for me to have surgery. Because of her confidence and professionalism, she made the rest of my pregnancy enjoyable rather than filled with worry. At that first appointment, I remember her saying to positively, “We are going to get you to full term!” And that’s exactly what she did, with a healthy baby and all! No surgery was even necessary thanks to her attention to detail. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their specialist. My family is beyond grateful for a doctor who was experienced yet also cares about you as an individual. I most likely will be high risk in future pregnancies and I am looking forward to seeing her again as my specialist.I really think things would be different had I chosen a different Doctor.I cannot recommend her enough.”
“I first arrived at Dr. Silver’s office at 8 weeks pregnant. I’m a high-risk type l diabetic so I spent the next 7 months in her care. During this time, Dr. Silver had both my care and my daughter’s care held at the highest priority. She is straight and to the point and she made me feel safe during a scary period of my life. She most importantly got my daughter and me to the end of pregnancy as healthy and safe as possible. I always felt like she was “in my corner”. I was able to email her after hours and get a response when I felt scared for our health. Not only do I feel like she was the only one on my large care team that was 100% in my corner, but her staff reflected that as well. I didn’t wait long for my appointments, usually about 5 minutes to be taken back. When 8 months pregnant and seeing her twice a week this became very valuable to me. I hope when other mothers find their Perinatologist that they get half the care I received while with Dr. Lori Silver. I highly recommend choosing her to be on your healthcare team!”
“I love Dr. Silver. She is a skilled and caring doctor and my family trusts her completely. Thank you Dr. Silver!”
“I wholeheartedly trust Dr. Silver, and have only the kindest things to say about her. She was warm, caring, and incredibly patient with me. Having navigated a very high risk pregnancy, I would not have gotten through it without Dr. Silver’s guidance. She was very thorough, and I felt she was invested in my baby’s wellbeing as well as my own. I always left my appointments feeling the reassurance that I needed. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a doctor they can trust and feel completely comfortable with. ”
“I LOVE Dr. Silver! She has helped me tremendously, easing my physical and mental discomfort throughout my pregnancy thus far.I’m a 31-year-old, first-time mom who has struggled with epilepsy and chronic migraines for the better part of my life. Driven by fear, I truly believed, at times, that pregnancy would not be in the cards for my. Boy, was I wrong!After assembling a team of top-notch doctors to monitor me and my baby (boy!), and with Dr. Silver as my MFM Specialist, I’ve been shocked by how wonderful this pregnancy has been for me. Dr. Silver is the one to thank for that. Not only has she remained available, but she has consulted with my other doctors, taking on each obstacle as it comes, continuing to find solutions.I can’t say this pregnancy has been is perfect, but I can say that Dr. Silver has time and time again shown up for me and my baby, and I feel safe and secure no matter what comes our way. And, that feeling of safety is absolutely unexpected, rare and priceless.Thank you, Dr. Silver. You have no idea.”
“I am seeing Dr. Silver since the beginning of my pregnancy! She is amazing! And I feel so safe with her! I highly recommend Dr. Silver! ”
“I started seeing Dr. Silver at the beginning of my pregnancy due to several high risk factors and we always looked forward to our appointments with her. Dr. Silver’s wonderful traits included thorough assessments of my current health and the health of our baby, excellent bedside manner, and great advice on diet to help our baby thrive. The office is aesthetically pleasing and very organized and the staff is extremely helpful. She knew our baby’s gender from the first appointment and managed to keep it a secret till birth (which was what we wanted). Towards the end of our pregnancy we saw her several times a week and we brought large groups of visiting family members with us and she was eager to accommodate us all. We had a very successful birth and are the proud parents of a very healthy baby. We owe a lot of that to the help of Dr. Silver. I’m just sad that now that our baby is here we won’t have any more appointments with her.”
“I’ve been seeing Lori since about 11 weeks when I had a bad bleeding episode. Turns out I had a Sub Choroinic Hematoma and my awesome OB Dr Ghozland got me in to see her to calm my worry that day. We continued to see her for the hematoma monitoring as well as the big scans like Nuchal & Anatomy and were about to be released till much further on when I got diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes so back to bi-weekly’s with Lori. I look forward to her appointments she is quick in a non rushed kind of way just really knows her stuff. Always takes time to chat post appointments to go over any questions and generally keeps you calm when things get stressful. I wish I didn’t have to see a MFM doc but I’m so glad we were referred to her!”
“Dr. Silver moved to Santa Monica, and I followed her for my next pregnancy even though her old office was right up the street from me. She is THAT good.In my routine 19 week scan, Dr. Silver found a very serious heart defect in my baby. I am healthy and had an otherwise very healthy and comfortable pregnancy, so this was a shock. My husband and I both cried during that appointment, but she remained compassionate (and not awkward), and gave us the facts. She referred us to a cardiologist and supported our decision to get a second opinion with another cardiology team. We went on to have almost biweekly appointments between the OB, different cardiologists, and Dr. Silver, so we worked with several different doctors throughout the second half of my pregnancy. Dr. Silver was literally one of the best doctors on my entire team.Unfortunately, my son passed away at a week old. With my next pregnancy, I contacted Dr. Silver for an OB referral and am seeing her again as my MFM specialist. I wholeheartedly trust her skill as a doctor and her professional opinions and suggestions, and I appreciate her ability to be matter of fact with bad news while remaining compassionate. Doctors are humans, too, and it’s nice to see they have emotion in sad situations. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could.”
“I have had the BEST experience with Dr. Silver who has moved practices to Santa Monica... I FOLLOWED her there even though her office used to be 5 minutes away from my house and now I have to leave an hour early to get there.Here’s WHY: I had a history of my water breaking early twice before the first time my son was born at 34 weeks and is healthy but the 2nd time my water broke at 22 weeks and my daughter passed away after living an hour after in my arms ( I had a different MFM who was HORRIBLE!!!) so my biggest concern when I got pregnant again and having a rare surgical procedure to help me in future pregnancies was finding a great MFM and I was referred to Dr. Silver.She was SO compassionate about my loss, she spent extra time with me to make me feel comfortable because being pregnant was just about the scariest thing ever now, She is so supportive of the surgery I had to have an abdominal cerclage placed pre-pregnancy and makes me feel like we are in this together and actually used that term. I feel like I can call her whenever about anything and she goes above and beyond to put me at ease and so far she has gotten me almost to term! as I am still pregnant. I would recommend her in the utmost! you really don’t find MFM’s like her and I feel just so fortunate to have found her and I will feel sad when I don’t have appointments with her anymore. If I could give her 10 stars I would, and she would deserve them.”
