WHEN PHYSICIANS

Become Patients

Why Dr. Stephen Silverstein When Dr. Silverstein himself required surgery to repair a
hernia, he turned to someone he trusted, Alexander Parr,
Chose Broward Health M.D., a surgeon at Broward Health Imperial Point. In spring
2025, Dr. Silverstein underwent a successful robotic hernia
Imperial Point for Surgery repair under the care of Dr. Parr.

“I’ve been in healthcare for many years, so I know what to
expect,” said Dr. Silverstein. “My experience at Broward
Health Imperial Point was exceptional and exceeded every
expectation I had as a patient.”
While he has privileges at the hospital, Dr. Silverstein did
not inform leadership of his scheduled procedure, nor did he
request any special treatment. Instead, he chose to experience
the process as any other patient would and came away
genuinely impressed.
“My journey from the time I was admitted, through pre-
op, post-op and recovery was efficient and seamless,” Dr.
Silverstein said. “I was treated the way every patient deserves
to be treated, with respect, kindness and a careful attention
to detail. When I was at my most vulnerable, the team was
compassionate and supportive every step of the way.”
Dr. Parr, affectionately known as “The Doctor’s Doctor,”
performed the successful intricate robotic surgery using
minimally invasive techniques. Dr. Silverstein was discharged
the same day.
“It’s always an honor when a fellow physician trusts you with
their care,” said Dr. Parr. “Dr. Silverstein’s decision to come
to Broward Health Imperial Point speaks volumes about the
confidence he has in our team and the advanced, patient-
centered care we deliver every day.”
Aside from some minor soreness, Dr. Silverstein felt
remarkably well. “If my surgery hadn’t been on a Friday,” he
joked, “I would’ve gone to work the next day.”
