A well written, cutting edge reference. Easy to use format, clearly outlining differentials, diagnostics, and referral guidelines. Great patient education sections. Has replaced all my other primary care texts.

I have been practicing as a nurse practitioner for more than seven years and own several reference books. This is the one I reach for whenever I have a question. It is easy to use and contains all of the information I need. I own three copies, one for each office and one for home. I recommend it to all of the nurse practitioner students I precept.

Buttaro's Primary Care A Collaborative Practice has been a key component in the Family Nurse Practitioner curriculum at the university I am currently attending. It is broken up into body systems and then specific conditions are outlined which makes it very easy to use. It is lacking in some places and can be a little tedious to read at times but overall it is very helpful and with each disease being broken up into sections that include history, physical exam, differentials, and diagnostics it makes it easy to jump right to the information you are looking for. Patient education could be expanded in some sections.

Well organized by systems. LOTS of charts. Diagnostics and differentials are boxed for easy access. An excellent office resource.

Well done for primary care. Book includes pathophysiology basis, diagnosis and treatments for many entities. The thought process for each diagnosis and chapter is very logical.
This is a high level book.

While the quality of the writing was well done. The paper and quality of the binding was a disappointment. The binding began to break the first week. The paper appears thinner and is not as substantive as many older books I own.

This book is a great book, comparable to my other texts. However this is a TEXT book for COLLEGE work. I do not read it from cover to cover. I am assigned reading, which I complete, and then I am tested on the material. Sometimes the reading assigned is "Ch. 4-9". Super. Sometimes it is "Pgs. 236-259". How in the world am I supposed to navigate that?

Unless all text books in the Kindle edition come with page numbers enabled SOON, I will be buying them on paper. I do not recommend the Kindle edition of this book to students. It is difficult to find the information you need. I am too busy to have to worry about navigating the book.

I do not have a single assignment from this course that is the whole chapter. It is all page numbers. I am afraid for my grade!!

Text required for Graduate Level Training. Has all info needed and easy to read. FYI:Entire book is black and white with lots of tables. Could be better by indexing access to a differential listing based on symptoms.

This book is a fabulous resource. It is a very easy read, and is very focused. It gives the patho, some etiology, and what you expect to find on physical examination.

A very well written and informative book on primary care. The writings do not bore the reader but make it easy to follow along and understand what is being taught.

This book was assigned for a class and it is extremely useful. The format is very user friendly and it is well organized. A must have book for every nurse practitioner
