Biography

Dr. Silverstein had eye muscle surgery when he was 5-years-old and his experiences with pediatric ophthalmologist, Dr. Marshall Parks, inspired him to become a pediatric ophthalmologist. Dr. Silverstein is a Virginia Native and a graduate of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology. He is a member of the Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus, American Academy of Ophthalmology and the Virginia Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons.

Dr. Silverstein is a co-founding member of the University of Pennsylvania Medical Emergency Response Team, a student-run emergency first response team staffed by trained EMTs.

In 2017, Dr. Silverstein developed 9 Gaze, an easy, quick, and efficient way to document eye motility and strabismus in the 9 cardinal positions of gaze. The app is intended for use by ophthalmologists. Download it here. *This application is not endorsed by VCU Health System

Dr.Silverstein is AMAZING! He has great bedside manner and my mind at ease about any procedure he is was performing both in clinic and in the OR. He never seemed rushed and was more than happy to answer my questions both in person and via portal. Responses were prompt and kind. Can't say enough good things about Dr.Silverstein!

Dr. Silverstein spoke kindly & clearly to our 3 year-old, completed the exam efficiently & without incident, and was respectful and communicated clearly with us (the parents).

Dr Silverstein was fantastic. He made a difficult thing (eye exam with a belligerent 3 year old) as easy as it could possibly be. He was patient, thorough and understanding. He even showed me how my son's stroller worked when I was having difficulty getting him out! I cannot recommend this doctor and medical team enough!
