Description
“A passionate hymn to the power of the American Dream.― (Kirkus
Reviews)“The real-life story of Dr. Alfredo Qui ones-Hinojosa is so
amazing and seemingly unbelievable that your first reaction is to think
it's a Hollywood movie script. . . . But it's true.― (San Gabriel
Valley Tribune)“Becoming Dr. Q is incredible in every sense of the
word. . . . Quinones-Hinojosa's long list of talents includes masterful
narration. . . . This memoir is fast-paced and nearly impossible to put
down. At the end, Dr. Q feels like a friend--and the only surgeon anyone
would want operating on his or her brain.― (Shelf Awareness)“Dr.
Qâ€s personality jumps off the page; teens will relate to his
challenges, insights, and drive. . . . The path one takes in order to
become a doctor and neurosurgeon is illuminating for those considering
it, and interesting regardless.― (School Library Journal)“I read,
underlined, highlighted, cried, and was amazed by the obstacles and
challenges that Dr. Quinones endured in Mexico and the United States to
become a highly regarded and respected Neurosurgeon and mentor.―
(Bilingual Weekly)“Quiñones-Hinojosaâ€s story is gripping,
inspiring, and just plain awesome.― (Booklist)'Alfredo Quiñones,
esteemed neurosurgeon and neuroscientist at Johns Hopkins University . .
. . tells the amazing story of how he rose from an impoverished
background as an migrant worker to become one of the most renowned
physicians in his field.' (Huffington Post)“On Friday Sept 23, 2011, I
purchased a copy of Becoming Dr. Q. and from Friday evening to Sunday
night I read, underlined, highlighted, cried, and was amazed by the
obstacles and challenges that Dr. Quinones endured in Mexico and the
United States to become a highly regarded and respected Neurosurgeon and
mentor.― (Business News)“The story he tells, helped by writer Mim
Eichler Rivas, is one of twists and turns, guardian angels both real and
spiritual, near death experiences, and having a person's life in his
hands in the operating room. Dr Q's had to make many compromises along
the way.― (KCET Socal Focus)'Here's a Hollywood pitch for you: Leading
U.S. neurosurgeon started life as a struggling Mexican boy who made it
from illegal-immigrant California farmworker to Harvard Med. Not buying
it? You should. Dr. Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa was that kid and is that
man -- associate prof, surgeon and head of the brain tumor stem cell lab
at Johns Hopkins. His work puts him, passionately, on the cutting-edge
of brain cancer research, and his life wedges him, reluctantly, into the

immigration quarrel. He tells his story -- his traumas and triumphs, and
his patients' -- in an autobiography, Becoming Dr. Q.' (Los Angeles
Times) “This is a spell-binding story of a champion who harnessed the
power of passion and dogged determination to triumph over adversity. Be
prepared to laugh, cry and to come away enlightened not just about the
human brain and its miraculous capacities but also about the human
heart.― ―Venus Williams, author of Come to Win'Ever since I first
heard Dr. Qâ€s story, my main question was: how does a migrant farm
worker with no money and no English overcome the odds and pursue his
aspirations at the highest levels of the medical field? Wow―not only
is it the stuff of which fairy tales and Hollywood movies are made, but
itâ€s also much needed prescription for the soul.― ―Chris Gardner,
author of The Pursuit of Happyness“When I first met Dr. Q, I thought
he had an angel watching out for him―defying death more than once and
overcoming the odds of class and racial discrimination. After reading
his truly inspirational memoir, I can say that Dr. Q doesnâ€t have an
angel. He is simply one of us―a human being who chooses to believe in
the capacity of people. And now, every time I see an ‘invisibleâ€
undocumented immigrant, I see a potential brain surgeon. This is a book
about humility, being a dreamer and the power of esperanza―hope.―
―Maria Hinojosa, award-winning NPR/PBS anchor and author of Raising
Raul and Crews'Becoming Dr. Q is a book that should be read by all
highschoolers and college students--it's about how to overcome hardship,
about how to believe in our heart's hope, about not allowing your dreams
to be co-opted by mediocrity. This should be a handbook for never giving
up on your dreams, and if followed, the world would become a greater
place for peace, respect and love. Read it―laugh, cry, share in Dr.
Q's magnificent journey!' ―Jimmy Santiago Baca, author of A Glass of
Water“Becoming Dr. Q is a gem of a book―an amazing journey of a
young man who entered the United States at age 19 as a non-documented
migrant farm worker. Through brilliance and hard work, he gained entry
to the top-rated Harvard Medical School. Now at Johns Hopkins, he is
recognized as a world-renowned neurosurgeon. It was a pleasure to know
Alfredo when he was a trailblazing
