Reviews
  • "This sixth edition of the Pituitary Patient Resource Guide is a "must have" source of invaluable information for patients with pituitary disorders, for their families, and for their physicians and other health care providers. The 6th edition is up to date and pertinent. It provides a wealth of information for patients and interested parties, and offers excellent guidance with regard to strategies for achieving optimal diagnosis and care for pituitary disorders.

    It is evident that problems with the pituitary gland may present in many different ways, most of which have serious impact upon the patient and his or her family. They are often difficult to diagnose, and expert diagnosis, appropriate medical, surgical, and adjunctive therapies are essential to achieving successful outcomes. With the material available in this guide, intelligent choices can be made, the correct questions can be asked and answered, and we are confident that numerous patients and families will be benefited."

    "Through my many experiences with life-threatening illnesses, and quality-of-life threatening illnesses I know the importance of information.

    Information is comfort.
    Information is power.
    Information can save your life.

    When it comes to Pituitary/Hormonal issues, where does one get the information they need? The Pituitary Patient Resource Guide is the only place to get the information you need to truly face these many diseases. It is amazing to me that for an issue this large, there are no other places to get the comfort and/or power to save, not just the quality of your life, but maybe your life itself.

    Pituitary disease is a unique science, so much so that I would almost consider it an art form. Each patient is different, so finding the right physician is crucial to achieving the best quality of life."
