Kidney Stones Handbook

ISBN 9637068-6-1

"I reread your chapters in the midst of high fever and was once again reassured. What you covered is what most doctors don't because of time and volume of information-plus it's much more reassuring to hear about something firsthand. What a treasure this book is for those who need more information."

-Gail Sweeney

"Easy-to-read for patients."

-Urology Times

"The Kidney Stones Handbook is the best! Not a lot of cross talk like most o f the others. Straight talk and a true sufferers's perspective."

-Russ Frank

"Thank you again for opening my eyes, and giving me some hope that I thought 1 would never find again."

-Lisa D.

"I congratulate you on an excellent text. It contains a wealth of information, not only for the patient, but also, l suspect, for the physician and the research scientist. Certainly from my own point of view, there's much in your book that is of great interest to me and which I was not aware of."

-Allen L. Rodgers, Ph.D.

"This book would be especially worthwhile for the patient with recurrent stone disease who is motivated to fully participate in the prevention of further stone development."

-Urologic Nursing

"I highly recommend this book to urologists, endocrinologists, family practitioners, and their patients."

-SEDMS Medical Librarian

"This book is packed with information to help those who suffer from kidney stones, and to educate the health professionals who treat them. From a librarian's standpoint however, the most valuable section is Chapter 28-the references. You have done an outstanding job of listing additional information resources, books and even a web site for further study on the topic. I refer patients and physicians to it frequently."

"This is an outstanding book that 1 have enjoyed reading. It provides an enormous amount of information for patients with nephrolithiasis problems. Congratulations."

-Dean Assimos, M.D.
Professor of Urology
Wake Forest University School of Medicine

"You have outdone yourself once again. I can see that you have added some valuable new information."

-Ross Holmes, Ph. D.
Director of Urology Research
Wake Forest University School of Medicine

"Because of the dual perspective from patient and urologist, this book by Gail Savitz and Stephen W. Leslie, M.D. provides patients with 'both sides of the coin.' This clear, patient friendly, illustrated book ends with a glossary and educational resources available to the patient."
