Dr. Santhosh Nadipuram: Pediatric Infectious Diseases Specialist This week we welcome pediatric infectious disease specialist, Dr. Santhosh Nadipuram to The Hamilton Review Podcast!

Dr. McConville discusses his must read book for parents entitled "Failure To Launch."

In Failure to Launch, McConville breaks these down into achievable, accessible goals and offers a practical guide for the whole family, to help parents instill those skills in their young adults–and to get their kids into the real world, ready to start their lives.
