Special Thanks
We all at Women's Health & Education Center, feel a tremendous debt of gratitude to Dr. Benton Baker III, who helped make this educational web site in Obstetrics and Gynecology, possible. It is my pleasure and privilege to work with him for the last 12 years to improve women's health and well being worldwide. He is one of the kindest and funniest people alive. Very supportive and caring colleague and a friend, to whom I owe a career full of gratitude. Human touch. Without his profound influence, I know, I would not have seen these sections come alive.

An immeasurable thanks for introducing us to Dr. Eugene Toy, Program Director Christus St. Joseph Hospital Ob/Gyn Residency Program. His support and wise decisions has converted the ideas into a reality.

I would like to acknowledge the enormous help given to me by Dr. James A. Whelton, in creating this educational web site, to improve women's health and well being worldwide.

I am eternally grateful to a great teacher and a friend, whose sound advice helped me see the world as a more profound place. When the world seemed colder and insights faded, his wisdom and kindness was like a guiding light, to make my way through it.

We take certain things for granted, even when we know we should never take things for granted. It is at these times, during my residency at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Boston, I realized he is indeed a mentor. He often believes in me more than I do myself.

Special thanks to Dr. James A. Whelton, Chairman (Retired) of Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, St. Elizabeth's Hospital, Boston, for teaching us the true meaning of Patient Care.

Thanks again.
