Customer Reviews

Useful information for clinicians and board review.

The previous reviewer must have purchased only volume 1. The entire set is a 4 volume series, which comes together when you purchase the book. I found the text useful, and the chapters were written by world experts with a great deal of clinical expertise. I would recommend it as a reference to clinicians or to people studying for the boards.
