Elizabeth Silverman, MD

Elizabeth Silverman, MD, provides treatment for a wide range of gynecological issues including menopausal concerns, cervical dysplasia, abnormal vaginal bleeding, pelvic pain, uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. She also has an interest in minimally invasive surgery and utilizes minimally invasive techniques when possible.

In addition to general gynecology, Dr. Silverman is experienced in guiding expectant mothers through pregnancy and delivery. This includes low-risk, healthy pregnancies and more complex pregnancies, such as the delivery of twins or pregnancy in the presence of a medical condition such as diabetes or hypertension. She is also an expert in various methods of contraception, and for those who are struggling to become pregnant, infertility options.

Dr. Silverman believes the best patient care comes from a relationship based on mutual respect between the patient and the caregiver. She believes that patients should take an active role in their healthcare from the beginning to the end. She feels it is her responsibility to provide patients with the information to make informed decisions and to empower them to take ownership of becoming and staying healthy.

When she is not caring for patients, Dr. Silverman enjoys spending time with her two boys, hiking and reading. She also enjoys thinking about new places to travel or new recipes to try.
