Judith Ann Pachciarz, MD — diagnostic and therapeutic services (pathology)
Courtesy Judith Ann Pachciarz, MS, PhD, MD
As a young student, Dr. Judith Pachiarz (b. 1941) was told that a deaf girl had little chance of becoming a doctor. One high school instructor tried to prevent her from taking chemistry, claiming deafness would somehow cause her to knock over lab chemicals. Yet despite objections from many around her, and after being rejected by many of the schools she applied to, she has built a rewarding and successful career as one of the first profoundly deaf women physicians practicing in the United States.
