Doody's Review
"This book is quite comprehensive. I would use it in the classroom and would recommend it to pharmacy residents, medical students/residents, and pharmacists to expand their knowledge in geriatrics. This edition contains updated therapeutic guidelines and references, covers more disease states, and adds topics such as hospice and palliative care."
-- Marissa Cavaretta, PharmD (Temple University School of Pharmacy) Doody's Review
"This is a much needed review of available clinical evidence for disease states encountered in the geriatric population. Many general pharmacotherapy textbooks devote little space exclusively to the unique characteristics and medication management needs of older patients."
-- Susan Kent, PharmD, CGP (Temple University School of Pharmacy) Doody's Review - previous edition
