To my loving wife and life partner, Jessica. Her inner and outer
beauty inspires me. Thank you for coming into my life! To my
extraordinary children, Kylie and Logan—their smiles and
hugs rejuvenate me. To my parents, Yafa and Habib, for their
enduring love and support. To my sister, Katrin, for continually
encouraging her little brother. Last but not least, to my amaz-
ing patients for allowing me to make a small difference in their
lives.
—Babak Azizzadeh
To my wonderful children, Branden and Britney, who have filled
my life with joy: in my heart you will remain forever young. To
the memory of my parents, Charlotte and William, which will
never grow old. Finally, to the patients who have given me the
privilege of receiving their trust.
—Douglas Hamilton
