Title Reviews
4 Stars! "...does an outstanding job of distilling down a large volume of complex topics into readable and practical information.... The information found in this book is meant to be useful for all healthcare professionals regardless of their specialty,... [and] includes practicing primary care physicians, residents, medical students, and advanced practice providers.... High-yield summary tables and images throughout the book complement the text of each chapter well, which is one of the best features of this book.... This book is extremely high quality, and is an excellent resource for medical students, residents, and practicing physicians. It provides an outstanding knowledge base for learners yet also goes into details that are helpful for practitioners who have mastered the basics of neurology. It is very convenient to be able to open to a particular chapter for a quick reference while seeing patients. I will utilize this book in my own practice and will encourage residents to use it for guidance on all things neurology."
