"As a long time patient of Dr. Miskovitz, I highly recommend The Doctor's Guide to Gastrointestinal Health for anyone wanting to know the vital importance of preventative procedures--before it's too late." --Warner Wolf, TV and radio sportscaster and author of Let's Go to the Videotape '
"This book will provide for patients and their relatives authoritative, up-to-date information about most diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The disorders are clearly explained and available treatments are outlined in clear language. Of special importance is the description of various diagnostic procedures used in gastroenterology, together with important information about what patients can expect before, during and after these treatments. This should go a long way toward relieving the anxiety that accompanies diagnostic procedures." Jeremiah A. Barondess, M.D., President of The New York Academy of Medicine
