Reviews

“Oral conditions are also well covered, making this a useful book for oral surgeons as well as dermatologists. … All in all, this is a comprehensive reference text. It could do with more illustrations as at present it does make for a text heavy read. Regardless, it makes for a useful addition to your medical library if you use this treatment modality as part of your clinical practice.” (Parisha Acharya, The PMFA Journal, Vol. 8 (4), 2021)




“This is by far the most comprehensive book on cryotherapy. It covers biochemical intracellular and extracellular changes resulting from freezing as well as immunological mechanisms responsible for clearing cancer and warts. ... The purpose is to expand dermatologists' horizons on using cryotherapy for a broad range of diseases and entities. The audience is dermatologists and dermatology residents.” (Patricia Wong, Doody’s Book Reviews, April, 2017)
