[It] provide[s] an overview of the gynecologic anatomy and physiology of pediatric patients, including young adults.... The intended audience of this excellent, state-of-the-art book includes providers at all levels of training who care for or will care for pediatric and adolescent gynecologic patients.... The book covers clinical management and provides clinical quizzes with well-explained answers,... a phenomenal book [which] is current, well-written, and covers all aspects of pediatric gynecologic anatomy, physiology, and abnormalities, including pathophysiology. It should be a part of libraries wherever pediatric gynecologic patients are cared for: in the office, at the clinic, or at the hospital, especially in OB/GYN and emergency departments."
