Hypospadias: A Guide to Treatment: The definitive guide for parents with boys born with hypospadias.

By far the most comprehensive info about hypospadias that I've found in my 5 years of searching. We saw 4 doctors and got 4 different opinions -- and still didn't feel educated. I recommend to all parents looking for answers.

This is an excellent book to breakdown what hypospadias is and how to approach it as a parent! My son was born with this condition and we are finding this book so helpful in knowing how common this birth defect is and how is it treatable. We are still in the consultation phase for his upcoming surgeries, but we feel more armed to talk with Drs. about this condition. This book is a must for any parents who have sons with this condition - you will feel better having this book in your library and the confidence to move forward.

This is a brave book has been needed for a long time. I'm glad it is available at last.Mark Dorow's breazy writing style is the perfect voice for a loving, concerned dad. His commentary shows parents how they can be there for their sons, and how they can navigate the maze of often tricky decisions about when or if to seek surgery.Suzan Carmichael and Bill Kennedy distill their expert knowledge into text that is readable and even interesting - no small feat when dealing with a topic that is as complex as hypospadias.Genevieve Kilman provides straightforward, compassionate guidance about handling logistics of hospital treatment and the stormy emotions that often beset both boys and their parents.And finally, Ed Weaver speaks for the boys who cannot speak for themselves. His chapter is a powerful appeal to end the silence that surrounds hypospadias or any other condition that people are tempted to hide.A marvelous gift that will help many people.

Every parent, who has a child with a hypospadias, needs to read this book

Great information

This was so helpful and easy to read! Highly recommend for parents!

Good book

I can't say how happy I am that this book is here and available. Matt's intro starting on page 1 is a message so many men with hypospadias have been wanting to get out to all parents of new baby boys with this condition. It's a topic people are afraid to talk about and this book is going to make it ok to talk, ask questions and make real informed decisions. This book needs to be available in every urologist and pediatrician's office. Such credible and clear info from Dr. Carmichael and Dr. Kennedy and the passion from a father and a strong adult man with hypospadias make this book an amazing resource. Thank you so much for publishing this important book. I know this information, which most of our parents never had access too, can change lives for boys born with hypospadias.

Interesting insight into American practice.

Good.
