Dr. Christopher P. Silveri, MD - Spine Surgeon - Fairfax, Virginia

The worst experience. He keeps his patients waiting while he makes personal phone calls. We're not taking a few minutes or half an hour, he keeps you waiting more than an hour to an hour and a half, you can hear his conversations. He's egotistical, unprofessional, rude, no bedside manner whats so ever. Doesn't care about his patients time, only his. When he does finally see you it's for a few minutes, 3 tops, then it's back to his personal phone calls. How can an MD diagnose a patient in 3 minutes?

One of the worse doctors I have come across recently- He could not care even less than he did when saw me- I could not ask questions without seeing him roll his eyes and or making funny sounds to discourage me from asking more question. I was in lot of discomfort. I was told by another doctor that Silveri will give me anti-imflementory medicine for some comfort. Silveri cost me a lot of expences for x-ray and so on, gave a mis diagnosis based on what the other doctor I saw (which was my own guess before I saw him)told me. Bottom line, do not go to him. I wonder where abroad and how much some businesses pay to get positive POINTS to be posted to their names.

I had a spinal fusion and a laminectomy and discectomy. My pain level went from an 8 to a 4 and this operation was done in 2009. I got my life back . I’m grateful . I can run and do sports and even mow my yard . He is a gifted surgeon .

Dr. Silveri was very aloof. Nothing personable about him. When he reviewed my MRI and determined I did not need spine surgery the visit ended quickly. Not impressed with this docs bedside manner.

Dr. Silveri and his staff have been outstanding throughout the process. Knowing what to expect and having all my questions answered meant a lot. I’m almost 3 weeks post surgery and feel like I’m getting my life back. I’d see Dr. Silveri before making any decisions regarding spinal surgery.
-update: I’m now 6 months post surgery, feel great and have zero pain. I should add that unlike other doctors who were quick to tell me I needed surgery, Dr. Silveri did everything he could to avoid operating. I appreciated that. His experience shows in his successes and the way he treats patients.

I don't no how anyone could give this office 5 stars!

The staff is horrific! Why they are in the business of caring for people in pain is beyond me.
Dr. Christopher P. Silveri, MD, is good for basic surgeries. If you have something complicated keep looking for a surgeon.
Lastly, don't let anyone tell you are fine with an e-ray, have an MRI.

My experience with Dr. Silveri was very positive. He is a brilliant surgeon with a warm and kind bedside manner. He de-compressed my spinal cord and I felt like a different person afterwards. He combined his talents with neurosurgeon Dr. Nilesh Vyas so I had a dream team! Tricia Knox is the superwoman who runs his office and is smart, knowledgable and professional. My only complaint was that I did not have a good experience post-op at Fair Oaks Hospital. They didn't give me sufficient post op pain medication to the point I was in a fetal position crying and begging to be given some mercy less than 24 hours after my procedure! Then, they discharged me when I was in so much pain and so weak I couldn't even stand up. I told them I was unsafe to go home, but they forced me to! They also refused to allow me to attend my own Discharge Meeting. Fair Oaks Hospital sucks. Dr. Silveri, however, rocks.

I have been suffering with back pain for years, and after Dr. Silveri diagnosed me and said I needed surgery, I was a nervous wreck. He saw me several times to outline what would happen and helped reassure me and calm my nerves. Everyone in the office, from the front desk, to Trisha (surgical coordinator) have gone above and beyond to show compassion. I feel comfortable scheduling my surgery and know without a doubt I will be in good hands for my recovery. I would highly recommend this office, and Dr. Silveri to anyone.
