WHO IS SHORTER THAN Dr. CREELMAN?
Yes, folks, it’s true. The new
PHS doctor, Steve Machtinger,
who originates from New York,
is shorter than Dr. Tom Creel-
man!
But height does not leave
him “short” where capabilities
are concerned. The newly hired
25 year-old doctor and his wife,
Karen, moved from Pittsburg,
Pennsylvania where he attended
University of Pittsburg School of
Medicine, to Orange County,
California one year ago to en
able the young doctor to com
plete his internship in pediatrics
at the University of California
Irvine Medical Center.
Dr. Machtinger hopes to
raise the consciousness of Warm
Springs residents to general
health and common accidents,
making riding in the back of
pickups one of his pet peeves. He
also hopes to help overweight
patients with weight control and
physical fitness. Dr. Machtinger
wants people here to better
understand the role of the doc
tor, “w e’re here to get to the
root of the problem, not just to
hand out medicine.”
The new doctor, with his
strong eastern accent, has been
asked if he is of Indian descent,
and has to answer that he is
Jewish. And when asked how he
and his wife found Warm Springs
so far, he answered “ Hot and
very friendly!”
When Dr. Machtinger is on
call, he can be reached at 553-
1221 or through the police de
partment at 553-1161.

roots, and berries will be served

“What’s your favorite season of

JP:
I like the Spring and
Fall. It seems like winter lingers

hills. I also like the Autumn
colors, they are so pretty.
CK:
I like spring because
that’s when everything seems to
come alive, the grass and leaves
are turning green, animals are
coming out. I lived in the city
before in California and there
you couldn’t notice the change in
the seasons because it was
warm all year long.
MC:
I like the summer seas

things out-of-doors. The kids are
