“I would recommend this book for board review preparation for ED dermatology. The authors are very respected in this area. … Each chapter can be reviewed in 20-30 minutes with good overall understanding of the condition. The book covers the conditions most concerning to ED providers and those that keep them up at night. I would recommend this for a reference in the ED or urgent care setting.” (Sheffey N. Massey, Doody's Book Reviews, December 7, 2018)
