Report
The only way I know about Dr. Derrick DeSilva is through a magazine published by Nordic Clinical, Ft. Lauderdale, FL in which Dr. DeSilva is pushing "God's Vitamin" while at the same time showing President Obama and Hilary Clinton on the front of this magazine saying they failed health care! I don't appreciate doctors pushing supplements and I certainly don't appreciate them denigrating our public health care system. I certainly don't intend to use a supplement "cure all" pushed by a doctor who is lining his pockets with the profits!

Report
This is the poorly trained medical doctor who recommended a known "quack" con-woman to Channel 12 TV claiming she had a 3 day 100% guaranteed cure for people who stutter. Not only is the information completely false but she charges $8,000 for the 3 day self-run course. There is a great deal of anger and disgust circulating through the internet and stuttering therapist world against this money grabbing fraud who is preying on stutterers desperately looking for Hope. If this is the quality of medical referrals that this doctor professes, then strongly suggest you find better medical elsewhere. DO NOT UTILIZE Dr Derrick De Silva's services.
