excellent / / 2009-12-08
great book any primary care doc should have it , I wish I knew a new edition was coming out so I could have the online access

Cheaper than a consult, and faster to get to! / / 2009-07-08
I'm a family practice doc in Alabama. It takes 6 months to get a dermatology appointment here. With this book and my general/plastic surgeon, I can treat 95% of skin lesions myself. The pictures make it easy to show to doubting patients that I know what their rash is, and the treatment plans, medications, and algorithims are state of the art. I consider myself a pretty fair amateur dermatologist now, and my patients are pleased they don't have to go to the time and trouble of a consult. A must-have book for any generalist!

Needs to be on every shelf / / 2009-03-28
This has been an excellent reference book for myself and my colleagues in a busy Derm practice.
There is no way to learn it all or see and this reference comes in very handy when you get a tough case.
It is a bit expensive but this seems to be the nature of anything that is sold to doctors.

Great Book, Great Price, Fast Shipping / / 2008-11-28
This book is essential to my medical practice and it was great to get so fast and at a good price!

Worth having on the shelf / / 2008-06-04
The text is a wonderful reference for pictures of covered conditions, the only side note being a lack of good coverage for ethnic skin (there is a another book covering just that) and the photographs are in most cases showing advanced or extreme examples. Overall, a great book to have on hand in primary care.
