"What has been frustrating for me as a doctor, and I know for you as a patient, is that there is never enough time to ask questions and get the answers that you need and deserve. So think of this book as you read it, as our time together as doctor and patient, but in the comfort of your home." Dr. Saralyn Mark is a world-renowned leader and pioneer in woman's health.
