After going from specialist to specialist throughout Brisbane and not getting any solid answers about my condition I was referred to Dr. Peter Silburn as he specializes in Parkinson’s disease, which most Dr’s thought I had because of my shakes. After being in his office for approximately 5 minutes with him reading my history he then said that I do not have Parkinsons disease, but could not tell me what I have. As soon as he said that, he really didn’t want to know me. He is such an arrogant SOB and I would not recommend him at all, especially if you do not have parkinson’s disease.

I have had the same lack of post surgical support. He appears to be a Jekyll and Hyde. Pre surgery all I heard were positive reports about him but I wasn’t one of his “model” patients . He will not release my medical records to me after 7 months of requests. Recently i had to submit a complaint to the Qld Health Ombudsman . ( Complaint number two after Deep Brain Surgery number two)

Excellent doctor who is a world leader in his specialist field. Peter Silburn retains the human and caring qualities that distinguishes him from many of his peers. Working in the medical field myself and recently had successful DBS, it is important to realise how demoralising working in a speciality like neurology can be. Diagnoses such as Alzheimers and Motor Neurone Disease are difficult for patients and practitioners to deal with. Luckily Dr Silburn has been able to provide more hope to people suffering with conditions such as Parkinsons which were previously regarded as invariably devastating and debilitating. I am certainly grateful to pioneering doctors like Peter Silburn.
