Vision #11

Sunday, November 27, 2011

How is your vision? Sometimes in order to see things that are right in front of us, we have to observe them from different angles. We also have to be prepared to look forward and be open to possibilities, whether they are related to our health or our personal space. And, if we are especially observant, we will notice those who may need our help along the way.

Guests this week include: Dr. John Herzog Orthopedic Specialists, Will Winkelman of Winkelman Architecture, and Dr. Steven Goldstein of Casco Bay Eye Care.

Guests

Will Winkelman

Will Winkelman of Winkelman Architecture is a registered architect who has been practicing for 29 years and registered in Maine since 1989. In 2007, he established Winkelman Architecture in Portland, Me. His professional work has evolved over the years from a mix of commercial and residential to a practice focused solely on residential work. He has also nurtured an ongoing fascination with industrial design, creating ‘things’ when he can in his home shop.

Will’s work, “Trollsatua” (“Troll’s Den”) was featured in a recent issue of Maine Home + Design (sister publication to Maine Magazine).

Dr. John Herzog

Dr. John Herzog is a third generation osteopathic orthopedic surgeon. His main focus is educating patients on the importance of healthy diet, exercise and clean air.

Dr. Herzog has been an Orthopedic Surgeon for nearly 30 years. In that offers many advantages to a patient coming in for a musculoskeletal complaint. Not only has he performed many thousands of surgeries and set many thousands of bones, but he has evaluated over 150,000 people during office visits. Having the ability to get to the problem quickly and utilize his skills along with the most sensitive form of musculoskeletal diagnostic tools your treatment program can be easily set up and defined. Dr. Herzog has been a Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon for 21 years and is a fellow in the American Osteopathic Academy of Orthopedics (1% of surgeons have this honor.)
