Doody's Review
Score: 93/100
Stars: 4
"This book is a nice companion to the more in-depth, encyclopedic pediatric tomes. It offers an expedient and efficient means of quick diagnosis and treatment."
"This book is a thoughtfully organized color atlas designed for making diagnoses by matching what physicians visualize in the office with color clinical photographs grouped by lesion categories and etiologies. Similarly appearing conditions are contrasted in boxes that highlight differentiating features. Overall, the photographs are of excellent quality and have enough detail that readers can make an educated diagnosis with accuracy."
-- Patricia Wong, MD (Private Practice) Doody's Review
"Any primary care professional who sees pediatric patients will find this book invaluable. Although there are many excellent pediatric dermatology books available, few are this accessible, as fast, reliable, and intuitive references."
