My wife has been a patient at Dasilva Institute for years now. They are so welcoming and knowledgeable. They thoroughly explain everything and make sure you understand everything before you leave. The fact that they get to the root cause and not just mask your symptoms with a pill then another pill is worth every penny we have spent there. I highly recommend this office and Im glad we know where to go to continue to keep our family healthy.
Reading the reviews and seeing the owner of this facility go thru a long dissertation about about the size of covid droplets and the skepticism in the ability of masks to prevent the spread of covid....is disappointing.Masks are not 100% effective....true...but they must provide some protection otherwise why have we always bothered to cover our mouths with our hand when we cough, or sneeze into our shirt? Cant believe a healthcare facility wouldnt endorse an opportunity to keep germs from taking up a bigger footprint...and protect their own patients....no matter how small the chance of effectiveness may seem to be to them. I wont be calling for an appointment.
I just left DaSilva Institute and not a single staff person was wearing a mask. I asked my nurse about it as she was drawing my blood and she essentially said they feel it’s not necessary anymore, that “the time has come” to stop and because they typically don’t treat immunocompromised patients. I understand this is their right as a private business but I will not be going back as I did not feel comfortable with their scientific approach. I share my experience for others who may not be aware of their philosophy within a medical setting.
DaSilva Institute has been a game changer for me. I have struggled with fatigue, brain fog & a few other issues for years. I attributed it to having 3 kids & thought it was just mom brain...but there came a point when I knew there was more to it. I needed help. The allopathic approach had failed to uncover my health challenges so I sought out functional medicine, and Im so glad I did! 1 year later and what a difference in energy, memory & mood I have experienced! Im so thankful I found DaSilva Institute. I dont where Id be without them!
Our experience with DaSilva was much different than others that posted here. I had been on bio identical hormones for a few years, but needed a new place to go. As soon as we went into the office, the woman took off her mask stating there was no need for it. She told me 5G was why I was going through hormonal issues even though I am pretty sure its mother nature that decides when menopause hits. She also told me I needed to read more scripture. I dont follow her religion and felt it was very inappropriate to discuss in a medical setting. She also lowered my thyroid Rx that I had been on for years to a dangerously low level. At check out I was told if I wanted to really feel better I needed to pay a few hundred for testing, this was after paying $300 for the appointment where NOTHING was done about my original complaint, hormone balance. Luckily, 2 weeks later I saw a very competent dr elsewhere who made me feel so much better with just a bit of a tweak in my hormones and put my thyroid Rx back to where it was originally. Ive never felt better. My husbands experience....He had blood tests done at DaSilva that showed a high level of LD, when this is high according to our oncologist other tests should be done to rule out cancer. DaSilva saw this, but said it could be due to diet. Well now my husband is fighting stage 3 cancer. DaSilva could have caught this a year ago, but they failed. Maybe they just failed us. Is it worth the risk? Such a waste of time, money and detriment to our health. We are both better off not returning to DaSilva.
DaSilva Institute is life-saving! I was diagnosed with hypothyroid 40 years ago by a wise L.A. doctor who looked beyond my low end of normal range thyroid level. This is the first time since then that I have had a thorough blood panel analyzed, and specific explanations about my symptoms. My new medications and supplements have made a world of difference!
Had a great experience, when I went in to DaSilva Institute. The Staff is very professional and knowledgeable. Very caring and Understanding . Treated me like Person, not a number. Very organized..

Their IV Therapy makes my life tolerable now from the bad pains and fatigue I have from my Autoimmune Disease rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia! I go there once a month!So grateful I found them! 💕💕
Love DaSilva! The staff is amazingly friendly, knowledgable and accommodating. They provide detailed lab results that make sense and go through each category thoroughly. They answer all your questions in great detail and genuinely want to help you feel the best you can by getting to the root of your health concerns! Highly recommend to EVERYONE!
I have been going to DaSilva Institute since May 2016. I was tested to find out my levels. Im glad I did. They determined what was wrong quickly. Its a work in progress and you need to have patience. I have definitely seen results on different things already.The staff is very helpful/friendly with all my questions. The IV Lounge is wonderful!Thanks for all you do!
Dr. DaSilva has literally changed my life! I was 280 lbs and my cholesterol was 260. In one year Im now 220 lbs and my cholesterol is 155. I feel better than Ive ever felt in my life. I have more energy, vitality, and a zest for life. Im going to continue following the direction of Dr. DaSilva as he is at the forefront of technology and professionalism. He is very knowledgeable and has produced amazing results for me!
I lost all my energy going through menopause and the recent death of my husband, I struggled just getting out of bed. After the easy process of lab work and consultation, I started the treatment recommended through Dasilva. Within two weeks I was a new woman with energy and a clear mind to take on the challenges ahead of me. There is no way I would of been able to go through these months without the proper plan for my specific body. Thank you to Dasilva Institute for giving me a better way of life.
Best medical facility I have ever been too! Everyone is so professional and friendly, from the first person that greets you to the last. If you are looking for a place that genuinely cares about your health, The DaSilva Institute is that place. They also have an I.V. lounge called the Sarasota I.V. Lounge. Here you can get I.V.s that give your body the nutrients and vitamins that it needs. You leave here feeling amazing every time! :)
These IV bags, which are a proprietary recipe of vitamins, are amazing. Dehydration is a constant state when living in Florida. Their athlete bag is beyond amazing, especially when preparing for an evening or late afternoon event. Some people claim that the continued use of their bags can cure Chronic diseases.
Dr. daSilva as far as I am concerned is a gift to medicine! He is extremely knowledgeable and very kind to his patients. He looks at the body as a whole and understands how everything works together.He has done a great job for me personally in regards to balancing my hormones, restoring my lost energy and overall providing my family with a better quality of life.I have and will continue to recommend him to my friends and family!thanks for everything you have done for me!
The DaSilva Institute is the truest example of what todays medicine should be. You are not treated as a patient, but treated like family - with love, compassion, and the highest care. I will share my story with you... Just like many others, I too had gone to those drug dispensing doctors all my life. I had been put on countless steroids for my asthma growing up, which only masked my symptoms - never treating the actual issue. I was constantly in and out of the hospital every year with severe asthma attacks. It had gotten so bad, I was rushed by ambulance to the All Childrens Hospital where I remained in the ICU for an entire week. Over the years the steroids I had been given began to destroy my gut and completely weaken my immune system. That is when I stumbled upon the DaSilva Institute. Dr. Guy DaSilva MD. helped me plan a better diet in order to regain my immune system (fixing the root cause)... I thought to myself, no way is this going to work. Food cant possibly have any power over my health, but I gave it a shot anyway. I have now followed his advice for 6+ years, and I can tell you - he was 100% right and I wished I had gone to him sooner and saved my mom from spending a ton of money on hospital bills. But after a few months of being gluten free as Dr. Guy suggested, and then cutting out dairy... my asthma went from SEVERE to almost non-existent. I never thought that was possible. Today, I am now back at the DaSilva Institute to treat another issue - balancing my female sex hormones - which are completely out of balance. I can not wait to get them back in balance and start feeling my best! I am so grateful for the staff at the DaSilva Institute!
Best place EVER! Arielle is amazing :-)
The staff are very nice and professional 😊
Dr. DaSilva has made such a difference in my health in a very short time enabling me to enjoy renewed energy daily. His thorough diagnostics translate into detailed explanations that treat and eliminate problems at their root and set objectives for my overall health goals. I appreciate his encouraging and supportive staff who return my phone calls and provide answers to my questions. Thank you, DaSilva Institute.
I first heard about the DaSilva Institute and the Sarasota IV Lounge from my aesthetician. She suggested going here to figure out the root cause of my adult acne and to help heal and detox from the inside out. Tina, at the DaSilva Institute, listened to my list of symptoms and imbalances, and she quickly suggested getting tested for a genetic predisposition to a Gluten Sensitivity. Tina was right! I am very sensitive to gluten, which has been causing a hormonal imbalance, low thyroid, burnt out adrenals, acne, stomach issues, and high anxiety/depression for YEARS! I am so happy to know the root cause, and that it is totally treatable and that I can save my future children as family from these horrible symptoms and problems. The staff at the DaSilva Institute are very kind, professional, and helpful. The environment is beautiful and relaxing and I never feel like Im at a doctors office. I feel so lucky to have been put in touch with such an amazing practice who truly care about their patients well-being and health! Thank you!
Ive received medical care at DaSilva Institute for years now. My health has improved considerably through natural means (diet changers, supplements and bio identical compounded prescriptions that specifically target areas based on thorough analysis of blood work). Finding the root causes of my health challenges rather than treating symptoms is what has made me a trusting patient!
I came here because Im having health issues. I was very impressed with their website, cleanliness of the building and wonderful staff members. I cannot wait for my next appointment
Since the death of Dr. DaSilva this office has gone through many changes and a big transition especially to fill the late Dr.DaSilvas shoes. I can honestly say they now have a doctor who has the knowledge, compassion, caring and expertise as the late Dr. had. They have had my business for a few years now and I am sticking with them..I feel great!
Very knowledgeable people and thats what matters. Also more natural which is a big plus.
DaSilva has given me a better and healthy way to live my middle age I am so grateful on how they helped me on my pre menopause I am able to function at s full capacity without all the symptoms I just wish I didn’t wait so long I highly recommend them for all your health concerns
Did wonders for me and my rotator injuries without surgery. IV lounge is the best alternative to meds that there is.
I was diagnosed with FMD and arterial sclerosis in June 2016 !! Therefore I was told to get my afairs in order not to be concerned with my diet or walking anymore. Thanks to Dasilva institute,where I have been getting treatments. I am so much much better than before I was even diagnosed. I would like to give them a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️10 star
My daughter was diagnosed with JRA when she was 11 yrs old. Fear consumed me as I had visions of my daughter being crippled by arthritis at such a young age. Her traditional Dr put her on Mtxchemo to shut off her immune system. Noone could explain where this was coming from and if it would go away. The only answers I got were that they would help her with the symptoms but there is no known cure. Thankfully her hair started falling out so we had to stop the drugs and my daughter said she would try anything but no more drugs. I knew about Dr. Dasilva but out of fear I had put my faith in the drugs and Traditional medicine. We started following Dr. Dasilvas reccomendations and stopped all Gluten. We had been very relaxed with gluten cheating from time to time. Dr. Dasilva helped us understand that the gluten was poison to her body and thru tests discovered she had a leaky gut and that is why she had the arthritis. My daughter had to make the decision she was going to follow the gluten free diet and not cheat. I could not police her 24 hours. She made that commtment and now she is 13 and has her life back. No more wheel chairs for long walks at disney now she is a cheer leader and ran her first mile since her diagnosis. Last visit to her Rheumatologist there were no signs of arthritis in her body. To go from Arthritis in every joint in her body from her jaw to her toes and now arthrits free. We could never thank Dr. Dasilva enough for giving my child her health back. And for giving us understanding of how we had the power to conquer this illness if we were willing to commit to the change it would take. Dr. Dasilva had the answers and went above and beyond any other Dr we have ever encountered.
What an amazing experience and team working to get us all better.
Nice staff very helpful
Informative, thorough, relaxed, pleasant and helpful
