Dr.
Silver's Credentials & Experience
Internship and Residency:
Dr. Silver was selected and attended medical school on
a Military scholarship with the United States Army. Upon
Graduating National Honor Society, Sigma Sigma Phi from
Medical school he was awarded the rank of Captain, and
honored with a categorical internship in Obstetrics and
Gynecology. He was assigned to The Regional referral Hospital
for the Army-William Beaumont Army Medical Center at Ft.
Bliss, Texas. As far as medical training goes, the Army's
was a particularly grueling internship and residency program.
Yet, one can't climb Mt. Everest in a day and just like
an ascent to the top of Everest, the Army's demanding
training was difficult. It included weekly written exams,
morning reports that were a daily interrogation, inhumane
hours, 'L & D' averaged over 300 newborn's month,
and the care for the dependents drew from 60,000 troops
and retirees stationed and living in El Paso. When you
reach the top of Mt. Everest, and look down, you notice
your exhausting training has paid off-in the medical field
your experience cannot be replaced by a text book. You
and I can read a book on how to build a boat, but unless
we had truly built that boat or scaled Mt. Everest ourselves,
our knowledge would not be complete, because we lacked
the experience of actually having done it! When Dr. Silver
left William Beaumont Army Hospital he had attained more
knowledge and experience than most doctors- which included
infertility, amniocentesis, urogynecology-areas many do
fellowships for and was awarded for his high achievements!

Military Service:
Dr. Silver spent another four years in the Army stationed
at Ft. Hood. He cared for countless of patients served
by Darnell Army Community Hospital. This Hospital which
serves Ft. Hood has more than 45,000 active duty troops
and many more thousands of retirees in the surrounding
population. (Each month the Women's Heath clinic saw
between 8-10,000 female active duty & dependents
each month). This did not include major and minor surgeries
or deliveries! As a Major he became the Chief of this
busy department in spite of a higher ranking officer
stationed shortly after-he had the confidence of the
Hospital Commander, and Col. Wm Hughes wanted Dr. Silver
left in charge. Shortly after arriving at Ft. Hood,
his exceptional surgical skills and knowledge designated
him as the surgeon chosen to perform major surgery for
(3 star) General Taylor's Wife. His care extended to
the Hospital Commanders wife as well, and when she needed
surgery-he again was selected for her surgeon. He served
His country, cared for thousands of patients, successfully
ran the Army's busiest women's center, and earned numerous
accommodations when he left the Army & Ft. Hood
for private practice including the one shown on the
right (See text below).
