Paul Dicker, MD

Dr. Paul Dicker, born in New York City and raised in Essex County, New Jersey, graduated from Rutgers College as the Valedictorian in a class of over 2,200 students. Dr. Dicker, who then attended the New York University School of Medicine, completed his medical training in an obstetrics and gynecology residency program at New York University Medical Center/Bellevue Hospital Center in Manhattan. After serving as Chief Resident in the program, Dr. Dicker relocated to Bergen County, New Jersey.

During his residency, Dr. Dicker received advanced training in both laparoscopic and hysteroscopic surgery. Furthermore, he demonstrated a special interest in perinatology (the field of high-risk obstetrics), infertility and menopausal medicine. While in residency, Dr. Dicker worked with renowned experts in each of these fields, affording him the opportunity to interact directly with those physicians and researchers at the cutting edge of both the diagnosis and therapy of many complex conditions affecting women today.

Dr. Dicker serves as a Board Member of Lifeline Medical Associates, LLC, a statewide group comprised of over 120 Ob/Gyn physicians that is the parent company of The Center for Women’s Health.

In this capacity, Dr. Dicker had a hand in shaping the very exciting future of electronic communication between physician and patient — an area of enormous potential which significantly improves upon the physician-patient relationship and, therefore, the delivery of quality health care across the country.
