Feedback from Colleagues

Dr. Silberstein and I have shared patients and worked together... I have always been impressed with his knowledge, flexibility, compassion, and skill in taking care of his patients. The Cape and Islands is fortunate to have him.

Charles Silberstein, MD is an eminent addiction and general psychiatrist with superb clinical skills and a large base of experience in treating psychiatric patients. He would serve as an excellent expert witness with high credibility and integrity. I recommend him with my highest level of enthusiasm.

"Asked to recommend a good psychiatrist on Martha's Vineyard, I always name Charles Silberstein. I have known Charles for many years, discussed countless cases with him, and shared in the treatment with him of patients who have moved on- or off-island. I consider Charles to be a superb clinician, with skills ranging from conducting psychotherapy to prescribing medication to overseeing the comprehensive care of special conditions like substance abuse. He is insightful, original, compassionate, scrupulous, thorough, and fully present with his patients."
