Obstetricians and gynecologists, like Cristian Andronic, Lisa Abaid, and Gary Ackerman would agree that the path to becoming an ob-gyn is not a smooth road to travel.

Yet obstetricians and gynecologists embrace a certain degree of dedication to fulfill their roles for all women under their care. It is a given that, among other responsibilities, these doctors make sure the baby and mother are healthy during pregnancy up to delivery and listen to and address their patients’ intimate health concerns.
