To my wife Silvia and my daughters Didi, Lori, and Catarina for your steadfast support and love; to all professionals who during the past three decades have advanced the field of dysphagia to the forefront of medicine; and to my patients, who continue to endure my best efforts to care for them.

To Marie-Pierre, who through her love and understanding has supported my professional goals, and to Nicholas, whose energy, enthusiasm, and challenges make the journey worthwhile. And to all of our patients who continue to teach us.

To my husband, John, who afforded me years of writing and decades of support. To my sister, Rachel, for leaning in. Finally, thank you Lord for not letting me forget; you are the Great Physician.
