ABOUT ME

Hello and welcome! Thank you for visiting.

I am Dr Vic Kalman.

…..a husband, father, orthopedic surgeon, author, teacher and entrepreneur.

The entrepreneurship was handed down to me by my late father.

I am 54, have been married for 23 years with an awesome wife and son.

It was not always easy and I certainly struggled at times.

My Dad left when I was young to be raised my my Mom.

It had to start with me.  I looked within and realized the answers were there all along.

I found my passion which inspired me to succeed.

It does not happen overnight and I continue to seek new knowledge.

I was fortunate to have some great mentors around me.

I discovered working out and training. I was the captain of my high school football team and received financial aid to play football in college. I played one season of semi pro football with the Chambersburg (PA) Cardinals and we were 1979 league champions. I received a ring and that was cool.

I made pocket change playing bass guitar in two different bands.  I enjoy music and now get to hear my son play tenor sax in the University of Delaware Jazz Band. It is awesome when you hear such talented young men and women play together, you cannot beat that sound.

My passion for health began with my undergraduate degree in Health and Physical Education.  My injuries on the football field led my to my graduate degree in physical therapy.  Physical therapy led me to orthopedic surgery.  I worked with the Philadelphia Eagles football team physician during my training. I worked with the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team physician during my fellowship from 1993-1994.  I have worked with athletes of all levels during my career and it has been very rewarding. I have been recognized as one of the best doctors by Delaware Today magazine. I have been recognized for my teaching of shoulder, knee and hip arthroscopy.  I have authored a textbook chapter and peer review journal articles.

I have authored online articles and was recognized as an "expert author" my ezine articles.

My passion for health returned to the forefront as I saw the health of my patients declining.  I found myself more and more interested in helping their overall quality of life not just their orthopedic problems.  I understood the importance of nutrition not only for healing but for quality of life.

I researched and used many products: juices, vitamins and  supplements.  None of them made me feel any different than the multivitamin I was taking.  I dug deeper and finally found what I was looking for. I have never felt better.  My energy level has made me so much more productive along with my focus and concentration.

This energy allowed me to get back on a regular exercise routine, get more out of it and get the weight off.  I was struggling with that prior.

It is my passion to help people and I want to do the same for you.
