"This is a practical clinical casebook on adolescent gynecology, a much needed resource for clinical providers. ... Physician assistants who are involved in the clinical care of adolescents also would find this book useful. ... This is an excellent, well-organized, and well-presented clinically relevant resource about a challenging topic in pediatrics and adolescent medicine. It is a valuable book for students as well as clinical providers and, as an editor of a pediatric review journal, I can highly recommend it." (Joseph Hageman, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2018)
