practical dermatology

It's a well organized book which provides a wealth of information that is both easily accessible and usable in daily clinical practice. I recommend this text to any provider who desires to learn more about dermatology and commonly appearing conditions in primary care.

Review of the Dematology

I have read and reread this practical book several times. Each time I learned more. The pictures there are excellent examples of each type disease. The ICD coding also allows the insurance billings to be done easier. The treatment and explanations are also very practical. I just wish the book includes more case studies and different type of dermatological issues. As health care professionals it was not too clear(at least to me) if that type contagious or nor. The book is excellent for medical practitioners, insurance billers, patients and even parents. One does not require a great deal of medical background to comprehend complex issues.
