5.0 out of 5 starsDr. Thomas is wonderful!27 Mar 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I have never met Dr. Shrover, but Dr. Thomas is wonderful! He is one of the best in the field - very knowledgeable. He's also a nice guy. He's my husband's doctor.
After we heard that he wrote a book we made sure to get it and check it out. This is a great book if you are facing male infertility and want to learn more. The book covers all sorts of diagnosis and gives some really good advice. I highly recommend it.
Remember, you have to be your own advocate - you need to learn all you can if you want to make sure you get the best treatment. This book will really help you learn what you need to know.
Good luck!

5.0 out of 5 starsA great medical book!5 Jun 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is one of the best infertility books I have purchased. Most of the other books leave out valuable statistics and information that made me more curious than before reading the book. This book however, gave me detailed information that was invaluable! It is well written and researched! Being a doctor myself, I was thankful that someone actually included scientific results and information along with all other sorts of data. I would strongly recommend this book to anyone struggling with male infertility!!

5.0 out of 5 starsA great book for those in need.30 Aug 2005
By Daniel B. Zaugg - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This was a great book for us. Very easy to read - it had the technical stuff but explained in a very down to earth way. It covered many subjects from IVF, IVF ICSI, donor sperm. All in non-judgmental ways, I gives you the facts of all and lets you decide without steering you one way or the other. It also discusses some of the causes. I thought the books was super and should be required reading for all couples that are in this situation.
