Dr.
Mitchell Silver's Biography
Who is Dr. Silver?
Dr. M. Mitchell Silver, literally grew up on the white
soft sands and fresh salt air just 'down the shore' from
Atlantic City. In the summer, he worked tossing dough
and baking fresh pizzas on Atlantic City's famous boardwalk.
Although lettering at Atlantic City High school in football,
his real love-was crew. His love earned him a scholarship
to row with the Huskies at the University of Washington
in Seattle. Besides competing and traveling to other PAC
10 schools, highlights of his college career included
a trip to England to participate in the Henley Regatta
on the Thames River in London. He was invited to train
& be a member of the U.S. Olympic Rowing team, an
offer he ultimately had to decline.
Accomplishing
His Goal:
His next aspiration was Medical school, a decision made
when he was 12 years old which would reveal itself many
years later. He attended a private medical school; The
University of Osteopathic Medicine and Health Sciences,
in Des Moines, Iowa. The inception of Dr. Silver's philosophy
about medicine was born here! For the Hallmark of Osteopathic
philosophy is about Prevention and caring for the whole-person,
rather than the "heart" or "Hysterectomy"
in hospital room 201! Since its beginning in 1892, Osteopathic
medicine seeks not only to cure physical ailments, but
to encourage healthful living to prevent disease and illness.
(Dr. Silver leads by example, and can be frequently be
found lifting weights at the Court Club or running raguet
with his Old English Sheep dog-Annie Pearl!) A 'D.O.'
is fully licensed upon graduation, and may enter any medical
specialty, receiving additional postgraduate study.
Family Man:
"They" say that there is a Divine plan for all
of us here on Earth. Dr. Silver moved to
Nacogdoches in 1995-and East Texas is his home.
His children, young men now, Joshua is a senior
at Nacogdoches High. His interests involve theatre arts
and computer technology, and works part time delivering
arrangements for a local florist. His brother David, a
ninth grader has chosen tennis as his love, and is attending
SEK Boca Raton Preparatory School and training at the
Evert Tennis Academy in Boca Raton, Florida. Below is
a family picture taken in Cabos San Lucas, Mexico on a
fun family vacation last June when school got out for
the summer.
