Dr. Silver’s patients benefit greatly from his approach and dedication to his craft. Take, for instance, another one of Dr. Silver’s cases where his efforts produced astounding results. This patient was a 70-year-old wheelchair-bound man with a large spinal tumor that was causing him to become a paraplegic due to severe spinal cord pressure. Dr. Silver performed a complete resection of the tumor. The patient had a remarkable recovery and is now walking normally. These are but a few of Dr. Silver’s numerous success stories. “The key to any business success is to employ the right people. If you’re surrounded by talented people, it makes for a successful combination,” says Dr. Silver. He has four dedicated employees, plus many talented nursing teams at the ready at the surrounding hospitals where he performs surgery. “I have access to facilities that provide me with the very latest technologies and with the ability to monitor the activity of the spinal cord,” says Dr. Silver, who approaches medicine with the “Do no harm” mantra. “Help patients as much as possible with an honest approach that considers non-surgical options first. That way, a trusting relationship develops with the patient and if no improvement is seen, only then do we do surgery and we do the right one with great results.” FRISCO Dr. Silver has happily settled in the McKinney area with his wife, Vivian, and son, Matthew. Among the things he appreciates about the area is that it’s a safe place to raise his son with a Christian upbringing. The family enjoys traveling and going hunting for deer, turkey, and upland bird hunting in Oklahoma and south Texas.
