He did not sit down at all and did not exam my arthritic joints and consequently I have to go back and get another brace that covers both joints on my thumb.Other than that he answered questions and seemed very confident. Too rushed though! The occupational therapist knew right away the upper joint was too stiff based on exam and told me not to hesitate to call doctor to order a different brace. She said my thumb was too stiff in the upper joint and it continued to cause me pain. Time consuming for me. I have to go back again!! He should have taken more time and been more thorough.

One of my all-time favorite doctors! Dr DaSilva is a wonderful doctor & surgeon. I’ve had hand surgery, carpal tunnel surgery & rotator cuff surgery with him & all were successful with little to no scarring & great healing. I would recommend Dr DaSilva to anyone!

He did an amazing job from start to finish. From the first appointment, I knew exactly what was going to happen and what I should expect. Through the entire process, everything fell into place just the way that we originally talked about. I would absolutely recommend anyone needing surgery to use Dr. Dasilva as him and his team were fantastic in every way
