Dr. Silverman and her staff are top experts in the area of assessing and addressing sleep issues and I couldn't have been more pleased with how they addressed my sleep apnea condition. Her interest in becoming a sleep expert came from her own personal experience and she's been involved in the field for 30 years. I had been suffering with sleep issues for several years when it finally got bad enough to do something about it. I contacted Dr. Silverman's office and they set up an initial free consultation to walk me through the sleep test process. The sleep test was very easy to conduct at home. The results were then analyzed by both her and a sleep specialist in her office before being shared with me by Dr. Silverman via an online visit. There, she explained in detail the result findings and recommended the two different approaches on how to address my specific condition. She explained the pros and cons of each and answered all of my questions so I could make an informed decision on the approach that would work best for me. In addition to being highly experienced, everyone I worked with in the office was very friendly and personable, which made all the difference in earning my trust and confidence to work with them. I couldn't have been more pleased with my experience with Dr. Silverman and I highly recommend her as your first choice in your search for a sleep expert to address your own sleep issues. read more

I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea 2009. I tried a CPAP machine on and off for 9 months and struggled to make it work. Upon doing some research on my own, I found the sleep appliance solution and it worked wonderfully for me. Fast forward to today and I find myself in a predicament. The appliance has changed the alignment of my teeth and jaw. This has resulted in my side molars no longer touching making it difficult to eat certain foods such as steak. To be clear, the sleep appliance itself was not the problem and was actually a great solution for the issue I was facing. Without going into details, the challenge was related to the approach, execution, and implantation of the appliance for my situation. I called the original dentist that did the appliance, and they were of no help. They just asked me to not use the appliance for a few days and hopefully things we would be better. WRONG! My current dentist, who I just switched to, reminded me of the issue and said it should be dealt with, I wanted to get an objective, 3rd party opinion and reached out to Dr. Silverman. I worked with her office manager Michelle (who was wonderful) to set up the meeting. I am so happy I did. This was actually a Zoom call as Dr. Silverman's practice is in San Francisco and I live on the peninsula. Not ideal as it would have been better if I was there in person, which they actually had requested. The call was approximately 45 minutes. She did a great job patiently understanding my challenge. She walked through my history, including my sleep studies. She then detailed very specific options, her recommendation, and related next steps. It was so re-assuring when she said, "If it was someone in my family, I would do ..." Last, she even recommended people she trusted on the peninsula who could help me. Dr. Silverman is very clear, articulate, and impressively passionate on the topic of sleep apnea. She can explain complex issues in terms even I could understand. It is obvious she has helped many people who have recently been diagnosed with sleep apnea, as well as people like me who have found themselves with issues. I only wished our paths had crossed when I was originally diagnosed with sleep apnea. She is simply amazing! read more

Dr. Silverman is great. I saw her back in 2019 while waiting for sleep surgeries to correct sleep apnea. She put me on a mandibular advancement device that moved my mandible by 7-9mm which helped a lot. read more

I have had to apologize to friends and family for keeping them awake with my snoring for years. After being diagnosed with sleep apnea, I tried a CPAP machine ... and hated it! I could not sleep while using it. I reached out to Dr. Silverman, and she (and Michelle in her office) are amazing. Dr. Silverman graciously spent time with me when I made my first inquiry and explained my options. She is kind and caring and a leader in the sleep dentistry field - I would recommend no one else for sleep apnea issues. I feel renewed having the dental device Dr. Silverman prescribed to treat my sleep apnea. It is super easy to use, and it takes no time to adjust to wearing it. If you have sleep apnea, please do yourself a favor and see Dr. Silverman. read more

Dr. Silverman has been incredibly helpful to me over the past few years as I've navigated trying to understand my sleeping/breathing problems. She has gone above and beyond in terms of spending extra time with me to give me the best care possible, explaining things in a digestible way, and working creatively and collaboratively to find the best possible solution to my issues. Her warm, supporting, and engaging style make her a pleasure to work with. I feel lucky to have found her, and plan on continuing to see her as long as I can! read more

Dr Silverman was amazing! Not only did she spend a full hour walking me through my condition but she also took time to answer all of my engineering driven questions regarding the possible treatment. She also ended up recommending that I first try with an alternative form of treatment. read more

This review is long overdue. I consulted with Dr. Silverman a few years ago. Dr. Silverman was the only medical professional at that time to identify an anatomical defficiency that contributed to sleep disordered breathing, and for that, I am very grateful. read more

I would give Dr. Silverman 6 stars if I could and I never actually received any treatment. Let me explain. I contacted Dr. Silverman to discuss getting an oral appliance to help with my snoring. She gave me a very informative and helpful free video consultation. I went into her office for a fitting and during our conversation she realized that given my periodontal history she wanted to consult with my periodontist before moving forward. After the consultation with my periodontist they both decided that the oral device would not be appropriate to me. She could have fitted me when I was in her office but instead she invested her time in one more consultation. This speaks volumes to her total commitment to her patients and her craft. In addition to being an expert in her field you can expect a doctor of the highest integrity who will go to great lengths to make sure that you get the treatment you truly need. read more

Dr. Silverman is exceptional. While completing dental school (top-tier institution), she built one of the first mandibular advancement devices, now her specialty. Her knowledge is expansive, her analysis & strategy sound, & she thinks in comparative terms so as to find the sweet spot as a true individualized care provider. It's unusual to find someone as passionate and committed to helping every patient achieve the best health and quality of life, anyone reading this is very lucky to have found her. Alena (Robin to Dr. Silverman's Batman) in the front office is genuinely cheerful, competent, and puts polish on the experience. Thank you!!! read more

Completed the 2-day take-home sleep study test here. Turns out I don't have sleep apnea but got some good tips from Dr Silverman and great experience overall! read more

I met with Dr. Silverman after being referred in for sleeping challenges. She treated me better than nearly every doctor I've ever met, asking insightful questions and taking the time to gain a solid understanding of my years of patient history. On top of this, she took the time to give me information that other doctors had possessed but neglected to share--giving me valuable knowledge that I previously didn't have. I highly recommend Dr. Silverman to anyone in need of her services: she is a rare doctor indeed! read more

I just had a free 1-hour consultation with Dr. Silverman and was really blown away. She was so incredibly knowledgable about sleep apnea -- far more than the doctors I had been to. She said she could tell that I would likely have apnea just from looking at me (even though I'm thin and a woman) because I have a very small mouth and a normal-sized tongue and tissues. The ENT who sent me for the sleep study basically just told me how many apneas I had and that my options are a CPAP, an oral appliance, or surgery then sent me on my way. He spent no more than 10 minutes with me. He didn't go into any details at all about how sleep apnea works, my results, or the pros and cons of the different options. Dr. Silverman did. And she did so for about 20 to 30 minutes after discovering that my jaw mobility is too limited for her to actually be able to help me. She went through the options of CPAP and surgery and also suggested a TMJ expert for my jaw mobility issues. I'm sad I can't get an oral appliance from her, but I'm glad she gave me the information I need to move forward with my treatment. I was feeling lost before I went to her. If you snore or have sleep apnea, just go directly to Dr. Silverman. read more

I have been going to Dr. Silverman for the past several months and have found her to be a caring, knowledgeable and trusted expert in the area of sleep apnea. She listened to my issues and has fully delivered on a solution. I couldn't be more happy and satisfied with the results. For anyone diagnosed with apnea, heavy snoring and other sleep issues, I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Silverman. She could make a profoundly positive change in your health. read more

Dr Silverman has obstructive sleep apnea herself and had sinus surgery and her dad had sleep apnea too. She's knowledge and compassionate. I haven't seen her in person yet only done a free consult. However in future if needed I plan to see her. read more

For a solid seven years I woke up every morning with brain fog. I went to every doctor and healer I could find looking for answers. I tried all the things Western and Eastern. Nothing helped. In a fit of desperation, I had a sleep study, not expecting anything because no one told me I snored, nor am I overweight, which is often associated with sleep apnea. I got the results back and spoke with Alena (the front desk person) and she mentioned upper airway resistance syndrome. Ding ding ding! Was fitted for a device and now my worst night's sleep is better than my best night without it. Alena and Dr. Silverman are so knowledgeable, warm, lovely people. Coming in to see them is a joy for me not only because the device works, but also because they're so friendly. Highly recommend. read more

I am grateful to Dr. Silverman and her staff for making my quality of life so much better. I went the CPAP route and hated it, and the mandibular device she constructed for me works wonders. It is completely non invasive, and I sleep very comfortably. I feel more rested, alert, and productive through the day since I began using the device. Working with her staff has been a breeze, and I was able to easily schedule appointments in a timely fashion. If I had any questions or feedback along the way, I was able to easily contact the practice and get an answer. Thank you for everything you have done Dr. Silverman! read more

Dr. Silverman and the staff are the best! The process is easy and a life changer. The benefits of I'm uninterrupted sleep without apnea have been surprisingly profound. Not only more energy throughout the day, but it has lowered my blood pressure too. If you snore you probably have sleep apnea, and I highly recommend getting the dental device. read more

I had become completely disappointed my ENT's reccommendations after spending close to a year between consultations and sleep studies to address my snoring and mild apnea. I contacted Reve Sleep on my own as a last resort. Dr. Silverman and her staff have been fantastic to work with in all regards. They were even able to get my insurance to cover the cost of the dental appliance. For me, the dental appliance has been a home run. I no longer snore, my blood oxygen levels have fully recovered, and I'm sleeping restfully. I would highly recommend Reve Sleep to anyone looking for a solution to apnea and snoring. My only regret is I didn't contact them earlier. read more

My wife was worried: she thought I was dying every night. At least, I stopped breathing and that was scary enough. Then she started to research the health impacts of sleep apnea and she got very scared. She then found Dr. Silverman and told me to go. Being the agreeable (or obedient) sort, I went. And I am so glad I did. Dr. Silverman and her staff are super-friendly, very responsive to questions, very detailed in their explanations, and totally on top of the dental appliance game. Although I did not try CPAP, as someone who travels a lot, having to lug the gear with me everywhere was a complete non-starter. After an interview, a sleep study, and a follow up, Dr. Silverman diagnosed me with positional sleep apnea and recommended a dental appliance. That thing works like a charm. As I was acclimating to it, whenever I had questions or concerns, Dr. Silverman was there to walk me through everything. I now sleep better...and as I no longer snore AT ALL, if my wife isn't sleeping well, it ain't my doing! read more

I had a great experience working with Dr Silverman. She helped quickly identify the root problem and gave me multiple options of procedures. Her professionalism was top-notch and as busy as she was, she and her front desk were always flexible with my schedule. We had some mishaps with my device manufacturer which caused delays and she put me first and did what she could to make the situation better. Highly recommend Dr Silverman! read more

I met Dr Silverman after being referred by my ENT Jacob Johnson. I was being treated for sleep apnea (Dr Johnson is another miracle worker). The short version of a long story, is, I had no idea I had sleep apnea (being single, among other things). During the process, Dr Johnson corrected a deviated septum and removed my tonsils, and Dr Silverman set me up with a sleep appliance. (I was not interested in the CPAP machine. Like many us (!), I did not want to take a machine to bed every night). After I was finished with this process, my numbers (as I recall) on one sleep test, were reduced from about 60 to 5 (or normal) The effect also gave me more energy, helped with not ever getting tired with a normal night of sleep, and much clearer thinking. I believe that Leslie was an advocate for making this change for me. She was great every step of the way, in making this happen. If it was not for these 2 doctors, it is likely I would have lived the rest of my natural life with the sleep apnea (thus shortening my life, and leaving the quality of life less than it now is), and my life expectancy would have been shorter. I would strongly recommend to anyone who snores, gets up from bed groggy, has low energy, or is getting forgetful; get a sleep study done and get the problem fixed, best case with these 2. It can be, literally, life changing, to be 'cured' of sleep apnea. My experience with Leslie has helped me immensely, and has given me great renewed hope for the medical community. read more

I'm not sure why my first review is not showing up. I can't stress how mush the dental appliance has improved my quality of live and sleep. Dr. Silverman and her receptionist are top shelf! There is so much care and compassion. If you want to know moe about my experiences check out my other 5 Star review. read more

I first went to see Dr. Silverman about 1 year ago. I wish it had been 10 years ago. I have been a chronic snorer and never felt like I had restful sleep. Because I wasn't over weight, my primary care doctor didn't think I had sleep apnea. Dr. Silverman saw something different - the shape of my jaw. After examining me and listening to my history she was concerned I may have sleep apnea and ordered a home sleep study test. Turned out the sleep study showed I definitely have apnea. Dr. Silverman fitted me with a dental device (I did not want CPAP). At first it felt weird, but I quickly got used to it. Not only am I used to it, but now it feels wrong to sleep without it; my brain tells me to put it in. When I wear the device I don't snore. (Girlfriend happy about that.) My final home sleep test, with my dental device, showed that I don't have sleep apnea. Throughout, Dr. Silverman was caring, informative, and she has a great sense of humor. She takes the time to explain everything thoroughly. My experience with the dental device and Dr. Silverman was a big plus. read more

I was referred to two doctors to access whether an oral appliance would be an alternative to the CPAP machine I had been using. I am glad I selected Dr. Silverman at Reve Sleep! She patiently covered the pros and cons of using an oral appliance without making me feel pressured to make a decision. It took a number of visits to get the right oral appliance and proper fit. Dr. Silverman actively listened to how the oral appliance was working, then made the appropriate suggestions and adjustments. Although early testing showed good results, this was not good enough for Dr. Silverman. She continued working with me to make further refinements and the last results were comparable or exceeded what I was getting from the CPAP machine. I really appreciated Dr. Silverman's determination and resolve to get the best outcome for me. I would also like to note, Alena, Dr. Silverman's assistant was a pleasure to work with, answering questions, helping with fittings, etc. If you are seeking treatment for sleep problems, I highly recommend Dr. Silverman! read more

There is no better expert out there than Dr Silverman. From the moment I walked in it was very clear that she was an absolute expert. She is incredibly friendly, caring and obliging, knows more than anyone about sleep apnea and treatment options (including dental appliances, CPAP and everything else), and gets results! She has changed my life in just a few weeks. Don't waste your time or money talking to anyone else. read more

I have been seeing Dr Silverman for about 4 years now. I used to be on a CPAP machine, but Dr Silverman was able to create an oral device that I now use nightly with great success. Dr Silverman has always been professional and efficient, as well as being a genuinely nice person that is a pleasure to visit. I would recommend Dr Silverman to anyone who is currently experiencing sleep apnea, is on a CPAP or is just concerned about excessive snoring because she can definitely help you to address these issues with effective alternatives. read more

Very knowledgeable and resolved my long standing sleep apnea issues. Highly recommended.

I previously used a cpap machine and it kinda worked. I toss and turn when sleeping and travel periodically. The mask was uncomfortable for me and my mouth was extremely dry when I woke up. Traveling with it was a pain and needed to bring an extension cord as you never knew where the outlet was. Oh, and the constant ordering of a new mask, filters, and tube every few months. I asked my sleep doctor about any alternatives for the cpap machine. He recommended Dr. Silverman. I received my device almost a year ago. Boy, what a difference! Very easy to use and convenient. I no longer wake up in the middle of the night and have to re-adjust the mask. Super easy to clean and travel with. I'm even getting a much deeper sleep. The only slight drawback is it does take a little time to get used to having your lower jaw pushed forward. There's no pain and you should use your "chew toy" every day and you'll be fine. What I liked about Dr. Silverman is she's a dentist, unlike others who can just issue the mouthpiece. She makes sure its fits correctly and knows what to watch out for regarding your teeth, gums and jaw. She knows what's she's doing!!! Very knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything to you. Front office staff very friendly and helpful. I never have to call more than once as they will answer the call or get back to me right away. Couldn't be happier with Dr. Silverman, staff or the device!! read more

After trying CPAP and never being comfortable with sleeping with a mask and hose connected to my face i went to see Dr Silverman and it's been 4 weeks and I can only say "life changing !" I wake up refreshed , which hasn't happened in 15 years, I sleep deep and dream more ( which means solid sleep) I can't recommend her enough! I'm still waiting on my sleep apnea test results but according to my wife my snoring has gone away,and I'm betting my Apnea has decreased also Alena is such a pleasure to be around and is also very helpful and answered all my questions, again, I can't say enough about how this device transformed my life!!
