Dr. Silberman gets 10 stars from me. I met him in 1985 after a series of unsatisfactory dental experiences had made me skittish (I had moved to Houston in 1983). I was horrified to discover on my followup visit that I needed a root canal; but Dr. Silberman reassured me that the worst part (for me) was that it would be boring -- but not painful. "No pain in this office" he told me. And that is exactly right! Dr. Silberman is an outstanding dentist, compassionate, extremely competent, conservative, and caring. I've recommended him to a number of friends who have been patients ever since -- and they have recommended others. His staff and technicians are always delightful to work with. You can't go wrong here.
