An Interview With Dr. Peter Itzhak
What led you to the field of obstetrics/gynecology?

How many years have you been practicing in the field?
I have been practicing obstetrics and gynecology for more than 20 years.
What makes your job rewarding?
Helping women through important moments in their lives—from pregnancy and childbirth to their ongoing gynecologic care—is extremely rewarding. I also enjoy educating patients and helping them make informed decisions about their health.
What brought you to the area and to this practice?
I have spent most of my professional career caring for women in the New York area. I was attracted to The Woman’s Health Pavilion because of its commitment to comprehensive, personalized, and compassionate women’s healthcare.

I have a special interest in patient safety, obstetric care, and medical education. I am particularly interested in improving clinical processes, teamwork, and communication to achieve the safest possible outcomes for mothers and their babies.
