For the secret of the care of the patient is in caring for the patient.

For all the healers, physicians and surgeons, who taught me that we are healers and physicians before we are technicians, that although knowledge, our dedication to improve it, and to cultivate better judgment are important, so is our mindfulness, presence, patience, kindness, empathy, and fearlessness whenever we practice our profession and art.

For my fellowship mentors at Harvard University Drs. Scott Martin, fellowship director, Larry Higgins, Chief, Sports Medicine & BWH Harvard Shoulder Service; Tom Minas, Director Cartilage repair center; Andreas Gomoll; all the mentors and surgeons at Northwestern University; parents Nassif and Nadia; brothers Jawad, Fares, Adnan, Hossam, Rida, and Mohannad; clinical staff including Ryan Hilton, Patricia Agnese, Tari Rowe, Kay Yoshioka, Henrene Ito, Jaimy Brinkman, Ditas Krietemeyer, James Krietemeyer; and finally to all my patients, many thanks and gratitude for your trust; and I hope to continue to serve you the best I can.

To my mentor and grandfather Pravinkant Dalal (Dada) and my grandmother Bharati Dalal (Dadi); a man whose knowledge surpassed his time and a woman whose familial devotion is the ideal. For my parents, who personify the meaning of unconditional love. For my wife and three sons who are my purest and most wonderful joys in life. Finally, for the master surgeons who taught me the art and the science that is Orthopaedic surgery.
