Book Reviews of Scoliosis Surgery: The Definitive Patient's Reference (3rd Edition)

Book Review: My Bible
Summary: 5 Stars

I have spent years lamenting the notion that my son may need corrective surgery for his scoliosis. I have searched the internet and found my opinions varying with each post read. It became apparent last fall that surgery is his only option. Deciding to get it done as soon as he graduates has put the pressure on us to come to terms with our fears. David's book is the first thing I have read that alleviates my anxiety. This surgery is intense. But reading his chronicle has put us all at ease. We now know that our son's risks from the surgery are FAR less than his risks without it. David's timeline of pre-op thru recovery is honest and detailed. Before reading his book, I felt fairly knowledgeable about this procedure. Ater reading his book, I realize there are alot more questions to ask. Never hard to understand, this book is written in unbiased layman's terms and is short enough to be able to re-read (again and again).
