Editorial Reviews

Review

". . .a good book, of interest to all trainee endocrinologists and certainly as a vademecum for established physicians."-New England Journal of Medicine

". . . an especially valuable reference for clinicians, because the information found in each of these chapters would typically be scattered over several chapters in most textbooks. . .recommend[ed]. . for the personal library of any physician caring for patients with thyroid disorders."-4 Stars!
