1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time or money, October 30, 2002

By	Phil Stein (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Atlas of Interventional Pain Management (Hardcover)

This book is a cash grab. Seeking to cash in on a previously well written book with Winnie, Waldman seriously insults the intelligence of his would be readers. Not only are the diagrams cell-shaded, but they were over simplified to the point of being useless. Also I recall at one point he advocates using steroids in his approach to the stellate ganglion in the treatment of CRPS, no safe practitioner would do this. Nor is there any valid evidence to support this. I have repeatedly cautioned anyone interested in chronic pain from buying this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Destined to Be the Gold-Standard Textbook in its Class, May 30, 2000

By	Lawrence M. Kamhi, MD (Boca Raton, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Atlas of Interventional Pain Management (Hardcover)

May31st, 2000

Other manuals of Pain Mangement techniques exist, however Dr. Steve Waldman's command of anatomy, clinical disease, and far-reaching vision of the specialty of Interventional Pain Mangement has, for two-decades, been a source of inspiration and courage for younger clinical practitioners in the specialty. The current Hardcover volume is superbly illustrated, with clear instructions, and an encyclopedic-volume of possible pain management procedures to offer patients suffering from a wide variety of clinical sydromes. The author is to be, once again, congratulated for his efforts. I refer to this text regularly in my clinic, and recommend it whole-heartedly.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth to buy, May 11, 2009

By	Ehab Shalaby - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Although it has nice colored diagrams that may be helpful in a presentation or teaching students, it is oversimplified and useless, I regret buying it.
