Dr. Mayo’s Boy: A Century of American Medicine chronicles the medical experiences of a family of Texas physicians in small town Waxahachie and big city Dallas. Full of stories that are often heartening in their humanity and sometimes disturbing in what they reveal about contemporary health care, Dr. Mayo’s Boy explores how physicians have viewed their commitment to their patients, how they sacrificed to meet the challenges they face and how the practice of medicine has changed over almost sixty years. While this book is by no means a policy statement, it offers a nostalgic but clear-eyed look at the past, and through its tales of three doctors’ lives asks implicit questions about how we “manage” health care today. There must remain one constant—the need for a patient to know that their doctor cares about them as an individual.
Endorsed by leaders in the medical profession including Dean Ornish, Denton Cooley,
Kenneth Cooper and Bill Frist.
Rob Tenery, MD is the third of three generations of physicians whose careers span the last one hundred years. Rob, an ophthalmologist, began his writing career when he authored commentaries about current events that were impacting health care. His expertise representing medical organizations on a local, state, and national level led him to become a monthly contributor to the nationally distributed American Medical News from 1990-1998. From there, he decided to pen Dr. Mayo’s Boy: A Century of American Medicine, a more comprehensive look at the evolution of his profession.
Rob was recently awarded the prestigious 2009 Texas Medical Association Distinguished Service Award.
Ebby Halliday: The First Lady of Real Estate was featured on the big screen in Times Square–NYC as part of the national book launch.

that were shared with us:
I really enjoyed the book signing seminar. David Hess was very helpful and enjoyable. I was especially impressed by and happy to see Milli, Kathryn, Cathy, and Janet there. It says a lot about the Brown relationship publishing experience when aspiring authors attend an event meant to help them and we see such a strong showing of support from Brown Books. Bravo! Thanks very much for including me. Ron Stout
I thought it was awesome, great opportunity, great information, and I would've loved for it to have been longer, as I'm sure there's more info we need. Thank you again for all your efforts. I really enjoyed myself! Kim Gatlin
It was very conducive to asking and answering questions. I was especially amazed at how much Barnes & Noble does to make our personal signings a success. It is gratifying to know it is not totally up to us. I came away with plenty of ammunition to help make my efforts rewarded. Thanks again to everyone. Glo Jenkins Brown
Thank you for sponsoring the book signing class. The round-robin format was excellent in allowing us to interact with the speaker and each other. I enjoyed the exchange of ideas with fellow writers and personally meeting more of your staff members. I'm looking forward to other classes in the future. Art Colo'n
All of the information was very valuable. It helped me prepare for book signings and for my future as an author. Dr. Peter Rappa
