“Confessions of a Male Gynecologist is full of insights I had no idea I wanted to know. I appreciate the total frankness of this book, and I liked learning things like ‘there’s very little pubic hair left in the state of Florida.’”

“This book is informational, educational, and at times downright hysterical. I’ve seen a male gynecologist for years, and it's almost like the author has been reading my mind during each exam!”

“Having been in stirrups myself with Dr. Bellanger on the other side, I found myself laughing and sometimes cringing at his insightful look into the wonders of gynecology. With a little humor, he quells our fears and answers questions we’ve all wondered about, but couldn’t bring ourselves to ask.”

“Thoughtful, clever, and absolutely hilarious. This book answers all the questions I’ve ever had about my gynecologist! Every woman should read this book.”

“Thanks to Dr. Bellanger’s knack for telling a story while teaching a lesson, reading Confessions of a Male Gynecologist was an entertaining experience. I cringed when I came to the chapter ‘The Air Down There,’ but I had to read every word. Finally, the unspeakable has been addressed. And, the author’s purely medical opinion about abortion provides an insightful viewpoint that’s not often heard from pro-life or pro-choice camps. “

“A must read for any female, regardless of age. Dr. Bellanger addresses questions that I’d passed off as insignificant or incidental, answering them in the most honest, easy-to-understand way. The ‘Loose Lips’ chapter is required reading for us mature women! This book is also a must read for any young woman who is nervous or needing insight regarding her first visit to a gynecologist. I’m buying copies for all my young nieces and my daughter.”

 “Confessions of a Male Gynecologist is enlightening, from Dr. Bellanger’s account of the training it takes to become a doctor and his look at medicine as a business, to his insight into the Affordable Care Act and abuse of the health care system. This book also demonstrates why it really is necessary to discuss everything with your doctor—there’s probably nothing they haven't already heard. ”

“Confessions of a Male Gynecologist is highly readable, informative, and funny. Dr. Bellanger shares stories and insights from his many years as a gynecologist, combining practical medical information with just the right amount of humor.
