Reviews

The audience includes geriatric providers in both primary care and specialty care. The content is such that the book may be used as a reference by attending physicians as well as for teaching students, residents and fellows. ... I find this book of high quality and, while comprehensive, it is also practical enough that it can be used in day-to-day practice. (Ronna D. New, Doody's Book Reviews, February 21, 2020)
