Reviews

I appreciate the many tables which summarized differential diagnoses, drugs associated with disease, and algorithms for patient management. The book is packed with illustrative cholangiograms with arrows to point out the key findings... This book serves as a concise but detailed reference perfect for gastroenterology fellows and can also be a good review for attending physicians. It would be very handy to have this guide available in any endoscopy suite. -- Erina Foster, MD, Practical Gastroenterology
