Review

A medical thriller that chronicles the road to Hell of a renowned OB-GYN whose sexual habits are bizarre. Readers will no doubt find it fascinating, if not terrifying. -- bookviews.com

I highly recommend Brad and his book to all entertainers out there." -- Grant Stone, WPBR,

Lewis' depiction of "celebrity doctors" is interwoven with infidelity, sexual deviancy, racism, and murder. -- Internet Book Watch

Move over Michael Crichton and Robin Cook, here comes Brad Lewis. The readers goosebumps will have bumps until the twisted ending. -- Write Time, Write Place, April, 2001 Nancy B. Leake

In Dysplasia, oral surgeon and novelist Brad Lewis uses a fictional format to examine the sordid lives of esteemed physicians in a high-profile New York based OB-GYN practice. The parade of characters includes chauvinists, egomanics, and greedy doctors performing ethically and medically suspect operations to increase their cash flow. Lewis' depiction of "celebrity doctors" and their celebrity clientele is interwoven with infidelity, sexual deviancy, racism, and murder. Dysplasia is a thoroughly fascinating, totally compelling and contemporary novel of sex, drugs and deviancy. --Midwest Book Review

Review

It's a medical thriller that chronicles the road to Hell of a renowned OB-GYN whose sexual habits are bizarre. This is not for the squeamish and it should not come as a surprise that it is written by a surgeon, Brad Lewis. He maintains that his portrayal of high-profile surgeons is not an exaggeration and, if true, you will not want to let one of this fellows get within a mile of you. The interplay between inflated egos and dependent patients works against the background of unnecessary operations, the profit mentality of many medical practices, and frightening inattention to new research. In short, physicians will hate this book, but readers will no doubt find it fascinating, if not terrifying.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's like the commercial -- This guy is good!, January 13, 2001

Super stuff! A real page-turning-thrilling-chilling novel. I guess you can tell that I really liked it. Lewis paints a dismal picture of our health care system, and the money-driven doctors that are caught it the system. In this case they are OB-GYNs, so the ladies may get a little jolt, probably a good idea, since DYSPLASIA shows these guys to be very aggressive -- and I don't doubt it for a second. The book is full of real medical stuff that gives it an authentic feel. I hate to read books that pretend to know a subject. This novel is for real and I think it's time someone pointed out the shortcomings with these kind of doctors. It's very entertaining. I'm giving it to my girlfriend. It's a must read. I think women will be helped by this book.
