Neil Bhattacharyya, M.D., Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, (2006): This book is an important addition to the library of those interested in the expanding field of neurolaryngology and is well worth reading for otolaryngologists and neurologists who care for patients with voice disorders in general. John Rubin, MD, ENT News, (2008): ...An interesting, concise and useful book that could well find a place in every laryngologist's library.
