Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This popular resource continues to offer step-by-step guidance on how to evaluate, diagnose, and manage a wide range of obstetric and gynecologic disorders. The 4th Edition of this bestseller has been completely revised and reorganized to present a more up-to-date approach to the field, with less emphasis on traditional hospital-based practice. It uses the APGO/CREOG curriculum objectives as a framework, with a special emphasis on women's health issues. A new, full-color design with many illustrations and photographs complements the text. Plus, a free downloadable PDA software program provides a complete guide to the most common disorders.

5.0 out of 5 stars An insightful reference book, November 1, 1999

By	P. Parkey - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Essentials of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Paperback)

This book contains a wealth of knowledge for any caretaker of the Obstetric or Gynecology Patient. I found this book extremely easy to use as a cross reference book and it largely aided me in my research. It covers the basics, such as general female anatomy, as well as more complex issues like AIDS in pregnancy. Important information appeared in bolder print and drew my eye, making it easy to skim over in a hurry. I highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellet book, July 23, 2001

By	Petar (Belgrade, Yugoslavia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Essentials of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Paperback)

This is a very good book of Obs and Gyn which provided a lot of information on simple way. Everything what is important is bolded on each lesson. It doesn't contain many pictures and schemes and this is the only disadvantage, but that is quiet enough for good understanding. It is suitable for medical students (everything important is signed) and for physicians who work or intend to work on Obs and Gyn Department (to have some concise book for him when they can find everything they want). I highly recommend this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars OB/GYN, November 24, 2007

By	Carla V. Cork (Auburn Hills, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a great book for those entering into OB/GYN residencies. It's not as expensive as the Gabbe & William's Obstetrics, and key fundemental topics are covered. I think the ob sections are slightly better than the gyn. However, it does have CROEG guidelines in it!
