Dr. Philip Brooks is a clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and Director of Operating Rooms at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he currently practices. Since 1965, when Dr. Brooks entered private practice, he has been at the forefront of advancing technology in his field. His research led to the development of operative hysteroscopy, which he then introduced into China and Israel. More recently, he has been working on the development of minimally invasive ways of treating abnormal uterine bleeding. In this interview, he highlights "the quest of doctors to find the best, safest, simplest, and least expensive ways of helping patients."

Dr. William E. Crowder is an obstetrician and gynecologist who works in private practice at Women’s Health Care Associates in Conroe, Texas. He supplements his busy schedule as a private practitioner with work at the Baylor College of Medicine, where he is a Clinical Assistant Professor. Though he views himself as a practitioner more than a researcher, he has also been published in a variety of medical journals, including Obstetrics and Gynecology and the American Journal of Surgery because, as he told Uterus1, he cannot pass up a chance to share information that could lead to improved patient care.

As the Director of Endoscopic Surgery at the Cooper Institute for Reproductive and Hormonal Disorders, Dr. Joseph Krotec is a pioneer in the field of endoscopic surgery. Dr. Krotec is a member of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists, and serves on several boards. At the Cooper Institute, he uses the latest endoscopic technology to diagnose and treat women’s reproductive health problems, and teaches other practitioners how to do the same. In all of his roles, he helps to pilot and review new medical technologies and techniques, in hopes of decreasing patients’ suffering and overuse of hospital resources while at the same time increasing knowledge and precision in patient care. He spoke to Uterus1 about developments in women’s health care and endoscopic surgery, as well as the triumphs of working in women’s and reproductive health care.
