KELLY
Dr. Sylvester is an amazing Dr. I’ve tried seeing other Drs. and therapists in the past which made me feel like a number and not an actual person. Thankfully right before I was about to give up in finding help I found Dr.Sylvester. He’s extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and he thinks outside the box. I would highly recommend him.

CHRISTOPHER

LAURA

DAVID
Dr. Sylvester is best! I have been a patient for nearly a decade. I used to be crazy and now I’m not. In all seriousness though, Dr. Sylvester is compassionate, understanding, and one of the most intelligent individuals that I have ever met. I have the upmost respect his opinion and would recommend him to anyone struggling with addiction . He gets it! He succeeded with me where others have failed. 11 stars out of 10

MARY
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Sylvester for over 10 years!!! I really can’t believe how time flies. Doctor Sylvester has always been easy to talk to and supportive . Although I used to see him in person, the last few years has been through Telemedicine. I love the convenience of telemedicine. Especially now with the Coronavirus. It’s just so much easier.

Dr.Sylvester is seriously the best psychiatrist. I was a little apprehensive at first because I’m use to falling through the cracks and always leave feeling defeated and getting no help.

I highly recommend Dr.Sylvester if you want results .
