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:
Dr. Silver moved to Nacogdoches in 1995. He and his wife Kandyce
live here with two of the four Silver children. Joshua “Izzi” and
his wife Jessica live in Pocatello, Idaho where he is working on a
Masters Degree in Nuclear Engineering. David lives in Boston,
Massetusettes attending Mass Art working towards a Bachelors degree
in Art. Khloe’ (7) attends the Stephen F. Austin Charter School
and is in first grade. Koren (2) attends The Early Childhood Lab
at SFA in Toddler 1. As one can see from our children’s activities
education is highly valued in our home. The children have learned
this regimen from their father who is constantly learning more in
his field. But, one must add that we learn more and more each day
from our children.
