Doc's Review

This is a fantastic text with some very useful information whether you're new to performing neuro exams or you're more experienced, as it's a great review with a lot of tips.

The useful, logical and problem-oriented neurological examination.

This is not an encyclopedia (Most of us don't need encyclopedias) but this book contains almost all you need to know to make an appropiate physical neurological evaluation. The way it is written is unique: I have never seen a photo of the author, but I feel that he guides me! This is the best textbook for learning without the presence of a teacher. More than five stars!!!

Technique of the Neurological Examination

It's everything a book book should be... Practical, easy to read... All around a great book to have.

DeMeyer text is essential for neurologists in training

This programmed text is very educational. It combines historical perspective with clinical illustrations. If you've ever wondered the correct way to elicit a Romberg or how to interpret it (or any other exam technique) this is the book you need. Highly recommend it as a programmed exercise and as a reference. I used it as a workbook during my internship so that when I started Neurology residency, I had completed and reviewed the text.
