Lawrence Silverberg is a ruthless, conniving, despicable hustler, scheming excuse for a human being. Don’t let him talk you into surgery. He misdiagnosed me, did unnecessary procedure , and forever damaged my foot.

Just the worst dr and person i have ever had the unfortunate privilege of meeting, he is a terrible human being on top of being a terrible podiatrist. I went to an orthopedic foot and ankle specialist, an MD after seeing silverberg. The MD said he had no idea how silverberg came up with the diagnosis apart from wanting to do an unnecessary procedure strictly for greed,/money at the cost of my time, pain and what i would have to endure. please stay away he is a terrible person with no clue regarding what the word care and diagnosis means, STAY AWAY!!!!

Worst dr in NY, he is a fake and a fraud, he puts up his own reviews because he has an SEO and internet marketing web site, which allows him to put up his own fake reviews. he is the worst individual as a human being and a dr and dishonest, a con man, and should be shut down. Google his name and watch the youtube videos and other urls which depict him as a fake.

Years of pain along with a progressing large bunion, and after getting two other consults, I finally found Dr. Silverberg on line. He is warm, knowledgeable, comforting and explained everything . I put off the surgery and unfortunately my bunion got worse. I wish I found him earlier. My foot looks and feels fantastic! He is everything you read about in his reviews! Informative during consult, gives clear instructions pre and post surgery, follows the patient closely after surgery , I'm very pleased with the results. Outstanding experience!

I found Dr. Silverberg on line and I went to see him because the great reviews he had and, I have to tell you, he is a magician. After years of looking for a podiatrist to correct my bunion , which had a bad surgery few years ago and hammer toes, I feel lucky I had found him. He did a great job on my right foot, the results are so good that I will be doing the left foot after 6 months of the first surgery. He has great bed side manners and he was very clear about I had to expect after the surgery, pain level and length of time it would take to be able to feel comfortable with my foot. I did follow his instruction to the T, resting time, what to do and not to do. I am very happy with the results and I will be doing my other foot on April 1st. I recommend him 110%

I visited Dr Silverberg last June. He was warm and approachable. while he recommended surgery, he also recommended that I could wait for technology to catch up. And he suggested how I could alleviate my ankle pain without surgery. My only disappointment was that he could not do my surgery himself

My foot feels worse after the procedure. I went two other doctors after and they were both horrified at what Dr. Silverberg did. Do yourself a favor and get a second opinion! I regret going to him.
