Learn more about how this textbook has been received by the health care community.
"Every clinician who is committed to quality reproductive health care should have a copy of A Clinician's Guide to Medical and Surgical Abortion. For the last two decades, I have provided first trimester abortions to my patients in Montana. Providing these services is one of the most rewarding aspects of my work because I am offering quality health care to women who are in a crisis situation. I now use this book as a reference to better serve my patients."

"This book is eminently readable, clear in its organization, and full of useful guidelines for physicians who must counsel women about the choices available to them. It is a textbook that is truly a reference on the subject and will help all of us have a better understanding of the options available for our patients and the clinical, emotional and epidemiological implications for their choices."
- John J. Frey III, M.D.
Professor & Chair, Department of Family Practice, University of Wisconsin Medical School
"It is both a state-of-the-art training guide for providers of abortion services, and a thoughtful commentary on topics ranging from abortion's public health impact, to managing stress in the health care workplace. This volume's single focus on abortion offers a sure means to effective learning on this often overlooked but essential part of women's health. This book promises to become crucial for educating tomorrow's women's health providers. It also belongs on the shelf of every clinic and office providing reproductive and primary health care."

"This invaluable, authoritative resource ... is not a book only for clinicians who provide abortion services. This is a book for all clinicians who care for women. Comprehensive text provides answers for all abortion related questions of clinicians, students, teachers, and most importantly women of all ages."
- Leon Speroff, M.D.
Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Oregon Health Sciences University
"This valuable resource not only covers issues about medical and surgical care, it also covers critical counseling points and informed consent. Given that 43% of women will have at least one abortion by the age of 45, everyone needs the facts to accurately answer women's questions. This resource has those answers."
