Jen Gunter is an American obstetrician and gynaecologist who practices in San Francisco, California. According to Robert W. West Jr. writing on KevinMD.com, she was one of 25 female physicians active in social media by way of Twitter. This engagement in social media, her own blog included, has been featured in the medical journal The Lancet in an article sub-titled "California tweeting". The mother of premature twin boys, she began her social media career in order to redress the poor quality of much of the medical information which she found on-line. The only U.S. board-certified physician in both pain medicine and Obstetrics and gynaecology, her particular professional expertise lies in providing multidisciplinary, integrated care to patients with chronic pelvic pain and vulvovaginal disorders. The author of The Preemie Primer: A Complete Guide for Parents of Premature Babies--from Birth through the Toddler Years and Beyond, she frequently writes on the synergy of professional medical practice and social media. Her profile on Twitter states "OB/GYN, writer, sex health expert, defender of evidence-based medicine. I wield the lasso of truth. Tweets are not medical advice. I speak for no one but me." See Also
