Meet Our Team

Women's Heath Associates, Inc. was founded in 1977 by Dr. Paul Richer and Dr. Paul Gaither. Certified nurse-midwives began joining the practice in 1983. Since opening our practice, we have been fortunate to assemble a group of highly experienced practitioners from the greater Boston area and from around the country. Each of our physicians and nurse-midwives has brought special skills and experiences that have been important in the development and growth of the practice.

Following is more information on the care-providers you may have appointments with or speak with in our practice. We hope that both new clients and old friends will find this information useful.
