Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Worth having on the shelf
The text is a wonderful reference for pictures of covered conditions, the only side note being a lack of good coverage for ethnic skin (there is a another book covering just that) and the photographs are in most cases showing advanced or extreme examples. Overall, a great book to have on hand in primary care.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Best Book for a Derm Rotation

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Habiff's Clinical Dermatology
This text is very comprehensive, and provides in-depth descriptions of skin problems, plus superb photos. Thorough discussions of treatments is included. An excellent text for reference.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent derm kickstart
We covered this book during our first six weeks in derm residency, and this was an excellent way to start. Just enough info with good pics and tx options. Good for both derm and primary care alike.
