Paul J. Silbert, M.D.

Dr. Silbert's recent Media/News articles:

New York Post – World News Section (early 2003):

The Post article references "Neurology Health Expert...Dr. Paul Silbert, Chief of Neurology at Jersey Shore University Medical Center" and quotes Dr. Silbert on the general topic of memory and alertness and related pathology.

Meridian Health Newsletter Publication (Monmouth and Ocean Counties) (2004):

The article entitled Relief for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome at Jersey Shore University Medical Center features one of Dr. Silbert's patients and the successful use of the ML 830 Laser as an alternative to carpal tunnel surgery:

"The Microlight 830 is a non-thermal (cold) laser light capable of painlessly penetrating deep in tissues without damaging skin, tendons, or nerves. This is in contrast to traditional thermal (hot) laser light which can penetrate but often destroys tissues," says Dr. Silbert. "In theory, the ML 830 Laser light promotes photobiostimulation, a reaction which expedites cell repair and stimulates the immune, lymphatic and vascular systems. And, patients also benefit from reductions in pain, inflammation, and edema, and an overall reduction in healing time for patients with mild to moderate CTS and other RSI." ML 830 is a non-thermal (cold) laser light capable of painlessly penetrating deep in tissues."

"It's been two years since my treatments and I feel 100 percent better," says [Dr. Silbert's patient]. "I'd definitely recommend this to those who qualify for it and those who wish to avoid surgery. I can actually enjoy life again and participate in activities without having the fear of pain."

Meridian Health Newsletter Publication (Monmouth and Ocean Counties) (2006):

The article entitled "An Ever-Blossoming Relationship" features one of Dr. Silbert's patients and discusses the all-important partnership between Dr. Silbert, his patient, and the comprehensive residential care provided by the Meridian Health Network:

"Paul Silbert, M.D., a neurologist from Jersey Shore, oversees the residential care and always keeps abreast of how his patient is doing throughout what Meridian calls its 'continuum of care.' The actual hands-on at-home care is provided by talented and skilled professionals [from Meridian]." The feedback for such a partnership of care is truly positive: "The caregivers who stay with me in my home are truly part of the family. They are the best."

Asbury Park Press (March 21, 2007)

"Also testifying was Dr. Paul J. Silbert, a neurologist who first treated Stockdale in 1984 for complaints of headaches, neck pain and vision problems. He diagnosed her with giant-cell arteritis, an inflammation of those temporal arteries that carry blood to part of the brain."

This is one of series of articles in the Asbury Park Press documenting Dr. Silbert's testimony as the Neurological Expert Witness on behalf of his patient during both a civil trial and a criminal trial.

Top Doctor Rating (2002 - 2009, yearly rating): Dr. Silbert is honored to be rated as a "Top Doctor" in the NY Metropolitan Area in the field of Neurology by the Castle Connolly Medical LTD Survey, for each of the past several years.

Upcoming Projects (late 2008 - 2009): Dr. Silbert has been asked to participate with the Discovery Network's family of cable channels in the creation of a television documentary on the brain and recent developments in the neurological treatment of memory loss in seniors.
