Industry Reviews
"This book is a good refresher for budding endocrinologists in training or even primary care physicians/specialists. I enjoyed reading it. This edition, published 13 years after the previous edition, is more reader-friendly with lots of references and figures. The website lets readers access the book on the go, a need of the hour of medical professionals today." -- (c) Doody's Review Service, 2021, Deepika Arvind Panday, MD, reviewer, expert opinion
