Ob-gyn doctors: Fulfilling a lifetime of commitment to women



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. As one of the most challenging fields in medicine, OB-GYN requires a certain degree of toughness to handle a 100-hour work week, the pressure of facing life-threatening cases, and the tension of making the business side of things work in the clinic.

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. However, their role knows no bounds, for they have more responsibilities to fulfill.

First, they participate in cutting edge medicine to provide the best treatment and procedure. Second, they educate women on pre-natal and post-natal health to encourage them to become more proactive and independent health-wise. Last, they have the responsibility of informing pregnant patients for any illnesses that fall outside their expertise.

Ob-gyns, among all other healthcare professionals, have the capacity to take ultimate responsibility for medical situations no matter how complex or simple they may be. This role is defined by what is in the best interest of the population they serve, which are mostly women.
