Dr. Richard Silver  

Dr. Richard Silver, the founder of Silver Lake Wellness Center, has been a licensed physician for over 30 years. He is certified in Anti-Aging Medicine, Addiction Medicine, and Family Practice. He also has extensive experience in non-surgical facial aesthetics and is on staff at University Hospital Geauga Regional Campus.

His many years of conventional medicine experience in addition to formal training in Anti-Aging Medicine gives him a unique perspective on how to merge “state-of-the-art” traditional medicine with integrative healthcare services.

Through the Anti-Aging fellowship, Dr. Silver has a more thorough appreciation of cellular health as it relates to advanced disease detection and prevention. If we can improve cellular health, we can improve quality of life, minimize disability, and increase the functional lifespan.

Getting older is inevitable but aging is a choice. While we can’t chose our genes, many factors that influence genetic expression ARE a choice. Rate of aging can be modified by choices of lifestyle, nutrition, and hormone balance to name a few. Living long, happy and productive lives to the very end is the ultimate anti-aging goal.

Dr. Silver believes that we have the tools to prevent or significantly improve age related disease and to achieve optimum cellular health.

Our mission is to inform our patients of cutting edge healthcare technology so that they can make lifestyle changes that promote optimum health and prevent disease.

Dr. Silver insists on “longer (happier) life through better health”.
