"The purpose of this book is to teach the fundamentals of dermatology in a logical, memorable way so that non-dermatologists can generate working, reasonable diagnoses and devise appropriate treatments that are in the realm of acceptance. The audience of the book is non-dermatologists including medical students, beginning dermatology residents, and primary care physicians.... The quality of the clinical color illustrations is excellent and demonstrates what the text describes. Shaded boxes scattered throughout the book highlight key points,... [which] helps emphasize the most important take-away messages. Tables summarize treatments, and the book states recommended doses. This is a valuable reference for medical professionals seeking to dip their toes into dermatology,... the teaching format is well thought out." ©Doody's Book Review Service, Patricia Wong, MD (Private Practice) Doody's Score: 100, 5 Stars!
