Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent Reference
a must have book for primary care providers. Worth every cent you paid for it.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Greatprocedure manual for primary care physicians
I bought this book as recommended by my PD. It seems like a great resource for any procedure one might think and do.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good compilation of minor office procedures
This book is very helpful for office procedures, especially as a brief review/confirmation before each session. It is not the intetion of the book to make a compete novice to be competet in the procedure without hand-on training. It is also a great resource for the stock piling of the hardware and supplies for particular procedures.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - As Good As Everyone Else Says It Is
This book is a bargain at the price. Best book on procedures I have seen.
Has informed consent and post-procedure care forms for almost every procedure as well. The one drawback is the paper is very flimsy and likely will eventually tear because you will use this book a LOT. I would have paid more for heavier paper stock.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Buy this book!
This is the only reference you will need for doing office-based primary care procedures. I've been using it for years and highly recommend it to all of the family medicine residents I teach in our residency program.
