"Serves an important purpose ... .Conditions are well described with numerous explanatory diagrams and pictures and they include some illnesses that most trainees or even specialists may never have seen." (The Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, 2010) "A complete resource on the subject. ... It adds the perspective of young adult issues, which has not been addressed previously. I highly recommend this text to those in training and those in practice who see any pediatric, adolescent, or young adult women." (Fertility and Sterility, October 2009)
