Dr. Culver is very engaged in my care. I have a very complex case that involves multiple comorbidities. Dr. Culver is very consistent in explaining the manifestations of my illness as well as including me in decisions about my care.

Honestly, I was incredibly impressed by the fact that Dr. Silas Culver reviewed my lab work before the appointment. There were a lot of labs. He reviewed them and made his decisions on what to further test based upon data he gleaned from my patient records. NO ONE else had done that. Nobody. You'd think it would be standard practice, but it isn't. That alone meant a lot. He wasn't throwing darts in the dark. He established a specific path for testing and trying to determine what is going on. I wish more physicians did this. More so, I wish medical groups and universities trained and made their doctors do this as a standard practice. I didn't have to repeat myself because he actually took the time to read my records. I hope his care remains consistent with this level of quality.

Dr. Culver took his time to speak to me about several issues. I did not feel rushed.
