Review Quotes

Review of previous edition:
"While the text and images may have been due for an update and the clinical correlations have been expanded, this edition continues with the same layout and format. Outwardly, it appears very much the same as the previous edition and similar to other standards in the field."-George Niiro, PhD(Midwestern University) Doody Review: 4 stars
