This text is an informative addition to the clinical toolset. The format of a question followed by a concise clinically-based answer by nationally and internationally recognized experts in the field offers a broad range of health care providers instant access to insight and information, which will be most useful in their daily practice. --Savannah Jones, Review Editor, sirreadalot.org


This book encompasses useful information including evidence-based approaches, clinical experience, and personal opinions of the authors. I am impressed by the up-to-date, evidence-based approach. The references are recent and the book is supplemented by high-quality color images, well-organized algorithms, and tables. The authors are to be complimented for putting together such a user friendly reference guide. It is an excellent quick reference guide that can be used in the daily clinical practice. It can also be pleasantly read from front to back cover by gastroenterologists involved in the care of IBD patients. -- Ioannis Oikonomou, MD, Yale University School of Medicine, Section of Digestive Diseases, New Haven, CT, Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology Curbside Consultation in IBD is an outstanding addition to the current literature on inflammatory bowel disease. (IBD) The questions are all relevant, and some are uniquely posed and addressed with information not available in your leading gastroenterology or IBD texts, or journals. Curbside Consultation in IBD is a must for practicing gastroenterologists who see IBD patients. The clinical information in this book is unique and will help with many IBD consultations and decisions. It is short enough so that it can be read in one afternoon sitting, but it is well suited for intermittent reading as the chapters are short and can be read and considered 10-15 minutes at a time. Many of the topics are well suited for short lectures or presentations as the information is current and controversial and the chapters are referenced. -- Douglas C. Wolf, MD, Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates, Atlanta, GA, Inflammatory Bowel Disease The design makes this book an extremely useful tool. The question-and-answer format makes it an easy read and a handy reference for those commonly encountered questions concerning IBD diagnosis and treatment. This is a valuable addition to the library of any healthcare provider who cares for IBD patients. -- Willem JS de Villiers, MD, PhD, University of Kentucky College of Medicine, Doody Enterprises, Inc. This is an up-to-date IBD text that does not shy away from controversies in the field. The text is often further strengthened by handy tables, endoscopic images, and treatment algorithms, in addition to short lists of key references. Overall, I was impressed with the breadth of the subjects covered and the high quality of the discussions. The majority of the book hits the mark, offering straight-forward, real world advice that will greatly enhance the care of IBD patients. There is something here for everyone and even full time IBDologists can stand to learn a lot from using this book. -- Christian D. Stone, MD, MPH, Co-Director, Inflammatory Bowel Disease Program, Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO, Practical Gastroenterology This text is an informative addition to the clinical toolset. The format of a question followed by a concise clinically-based answer by nationally and internationally recognized experts in the field offers a broad range of health care providers instant access to insight and information, which will be most useful in their daily practice. --Savannah Jones, Review Editor, SirReadaLot.org
