5.0 out of 5 stars The Essential Dermatology Companion, June 15, 2006

By	DJE (Williamstown, MA USA) - See all my reviews

Drs. Barankin and Freiman's book is an invaluable educational tool for trainees and general physicians to have when confronted with patients who have skin disorders. It provides the basics and also information on 99% of the cutaneous disorders one will encounter in the clinic and on the wards. They competently review a host of disorders and treatment options, letting the reader know what is most likely and how to approach it. No trainee should be without this book. The authors are at the forefront of dermatologic education and one anticipates more useful tomes from them in future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful, easy to use!!, March 1, 2007

By	Bruce A. Wing "PA student 07" (Denver, CO) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Derm notes is a concise reference that quickly defines each condition, gives etiology and prevalence within patient populations, and presents treatment options. It also contains images that are excellent for recognizing conditions as they present in the clinic.

I am currently on my Pediatrics rotation and have referred to Derm Notes frequently to confirm diagnoses and consult treament plans. It can't replace a large derm atlas, but that isn't its function. This book does what it's designed to do, provide a fast and accurate clinical reference for students and providers.

This book can take a lot of abuse. The plastic pages are tear-proof and can be written on and wiped off. Mine has seen heavy use without a mark or rip to show for it. This book is money well-spent.

By	Foong Boon Bee - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent dermatology companion to be brought along in your lab coat when you need some clinical information. The information is concise and yet relevant and has important new and updated information. I would strongly recommend it to residents and medical students doing dermatology rotation.
