Joseph A Silvestri, MD

A positive childhood experience with health care shaped my understanding of the importance of listening, building meaningful patient relationships and treating the whole person. That perspective, combined with my interest in problem-solving and critical thinking, led me to pursue a career in medicine. I believe effective care begins with listening. I take the time to understand how a condition impacts my patient’s function and daily life, then provide a clear overview of treatment options so we can make thoughtful, shared decisions aligned with their goals. As a physiatrist, I focus on restoring function and improving quality of life through conservative, comprehensive and patient-centered care of musculoskeletal and spine conditions.
