Reviews
I recommend this book to patients and their families. The content is evidence-based and includes up-to-date diagnostic and treatment modalities.
In this book, Dr. Joseph Sanfilippo shares his extensive knowledge on the subject of fertility and reproduction. Through patient vignettes, he delivers his lessons in a compassionate, positive, concise, and easy-to-understand manner full of clinical pearls. This guide serves as a companion for those seeking information on preconception preparation, infertility testing and treatment, fertility preservation, the unique issues faced by the LGBTQIA+ community, and even the financial and emotional detours individuals may face along the way. As an infertility specialist, I give this book my highest recommendation to a wide spectrum of people looking for a comprehensive guide to enhance their fertility journey.
