Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 01-APR-04, Volume 50, Issue 4, Victoria Lazareth, MSN, NP-C -- "Goodheart provides a user-friendly clinical guide to assist the primary care provider and dermatology novice in the identification of common skin disorders. The photographic clarity and detail, the bulleted keys to objective findings, and the cross-referencing to differential diagnoses comprise a structured approach to clinical assessment. The management of each disorder is clearly outlined, including therapeutic goals, points to remember, and helpful hints...I strongly recommend Goodheart's photoguide as a valuable clinical support to the nondermatologist."-Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology , Joseph Eastern, MD -- "If you're talking about Goodheart's Photoguide of Common Skin Disorders, you're gonna love it! I use it everyday to help me explain stuff to patients, and the residents who rotate through my office all say it's the best derm book they've ever seen for people at their training level. I'm ordering a second copy. Everybody should have at least one."-Joseph Eastern, MD
