"I love the challenge of keeping up with today's medicine. More importantly, I truly enjoy participating in patients' lives."

Dr. Herbert Kantor has been Chairman of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology/Maternal Child Health since 1992. In addition to assisting women through their pregnancies and deliveries, Dr. Kantor provides a multitude of services to our community. Dr. Kantor maintains current skills for evaluation and treatment of many areas in women's health. Where surgical intervention is needed, he offers both minimally invasive laparoscopic and traditional procedures.

Dr. Kantor's interest in medicine began in his teen years, when he would help out in his father's oral surgery office. Since 1988, after completing his medical training and residency, he has lived and worked in the Berkshires. His love of the Berkshires is enhanced by his many outdoor pursuits, including snowboarding, skiing, fishing, and mountain biking. However, his priority is spending quality time with his family.

Dr. Kantor lives in Lenox with his wife Lisa, a psychologist, and his three daughters, Nicole, Rachel and Shayna.
