This review is from: Avery's Diseases of the Newborn, 7e (Hardcover)

This is an excellent text on neonatology. It is quite expansive, yet has enough detail. I am a pediatric resident, and for me it serves as a good reference text. I highly recommend it for those who are looking for a complete neonatology textbook.
