Critics Review
“Dr. Young and Amy Zavatto have produced the most comprehensive patient-directed book on the subject of miscarriage and pregnancy loss that that I have seen. It presents complete and scientifically sound information on the causes and prevention of recurrent miscarriage and does so in a fashion that does not require a medical education to understand….It will be an excellent guide for women and their partners who have experienced these problems.“—Richard H. Schwarz, M.D., FACOG, FRCOG, Vice Chairman for Clinical Affairs, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Maimonides Medical Center Professor of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Science, Mt. Sinai School of Medicine“This book deals with an issue that is not much talked about. It offers solutions in a down to earth manner that is easily accessible to everyone….I wish this book had been around when I was having the personal experience of multiple miscarriages.“—Rebecca Lisa Shiffman, MD, Director of Obstetrics and Vicechair, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, New York Methodist Hospital“Miscarriage is among the most common and most misunderstood aspects of all modern medicine. Dr Bruce Young, a pioneer and international leader in perinatal medicine, and Amy Zavatto, a patient who has experienced a miscarriage, have teamed up to write a comprehensive and compassionate analysis of this subject. All women who anticipate getting pregnant would benefit from this invaluable and unique text.“—Frank A. Chervenak, M.D., Given Foundation Professor and Chairman, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, New York Weill Cornell Medical Center“Comprehensive information on the causes and preventions of miscarriage.“—Miami Herald
