“This is an excellent refresher for all those currently engaged in the outpatient practice of medicine and a tremendous foundation work for those just beginning their practice. … It is an easy read despite the depth of detail, and the tables add greatly to comparing and contrasting of the various concepts.” (Vincent F. Carr, Doody's Book Reviews, May, 2018)
