Dr. Love is known as the "breast doctor" because of her writings and research on the subject. In her new book (with, Karen Lindsey) "Dr. Susan Love's Hormone Book," she takes a look at menopause. She addresses the symptoms, medication, and questions some women face when approaching this life phase. Love is a breast surgeon and an adjunct associate professor of clinical surgery at UCLA.
Love is the founding member of the Breast Cancer Coalition and founding director of the UCLA Breast Cancer, which is one of the world's leading breast treatment facilities. Her book Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book (Addison Wesley) is said to be one of the most important books in women's health in the last decade. A new, updated edition has just been published.
