Editorial Reviews

Review

Doody's Rating: * * *
The book is a good bargain for the information provided. General medical practitioners should find it useful in their practices. The treatment for common skin disorders is discussed in this second edition book. Good clinical tips are provided and special precautions for the pediatric population are highlighted in colored boxes.

The treatment approaches are well outlined. Some of the photographs appear to be copies of copies or were photographed too far away and the finer details in the skin are not very clear. Other photographs show excellent detail, such as the two pages showing the various clinical variation in seborrheic keratoses.

5.0 out of 5 stars perfect for general practice, September 15, 2003
By A Customer
I am a family resident doing a rotation in dermatology and this is the book i am using. It is simple enough that you don't need an extensive background in derm to understand it, but it is complete enough to provide all the info you need. great pictures, clear explanations (skin/non skin findings, progression of the disease, treatment...) The color coded pictures of usual distribution are incredibly useful!
It is probably not enough for a derm resident, but for a rotation through derm, or for general practice, this is what you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to reference, easy to help treat, January 29, 2005
I'm a Physician Assistant student working in a busy military hospital. This book is absolutely wonderful if you're looking for a quick diagnosis and treatment to common skin diseases. It's easy to reference, there are diagrams showing lesion distribution as well as beautiful pictures of common presentations, and an easy-to-reference treatment section. This won't cover everything, and you'll have to use a more comprehensive derm book for "zebras", but on the whole it's an excellent reference book in a general care environment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great photos, great dermatological synopsis, January 10, 2003
By 
Bert Bridger (Clayton, NC United States) - See all my reviews
Those practitioners looking for a good overview of many dermatological conditions, with up to date treatments have found a pear in this Habib edition. This book stays on my desk or in a room - where I peruse through pictures or show patients pictures of others with their condition. Most dermatological atlas or text are incredibly expensive. The price makes this edition a MUST BUY.
