Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic Reference Text for Chiropractors
This book is a must for chiropractors who's practice includes pediatric patients. It is a one stop source for everything I have needed in practice.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent
One of the best all around references I have found. It gives you the important info you need and cuts out the fluff.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - THE Textbook of Pediatrics.
THis is THE textbook of pediatrics. I own Rudolphs and Oski's as well. This is the book to buy (or read if you have MDconsult). It has the best diagrams, graphs, authors, and is the easiest to read. Don't waste your time with the minibooks such as currents or the mini Nelson's. Just read this one. You'll be glad.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - New Edition Available
The 17th edition of the Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics is available now. I have seen it on the publisher's website. This textbook is one of the main physician-level educational sources for pediatrics, and I highly recommend it for the personal libraries of all medical professionals as well as those in training. No matter what your field, there will always be the potential that you will become responsible for caring for a child. However, it is usually best to find the latest edition for any textbook.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - In Depth Pediatric Reference
When I was on my PA Peds rotation, I often consulted this great reference in the medical library. Now, that I have my own book, I know its value. There is no other Pediatrics book out there that is better than this one. Don't waste your money on less expensive books like Current Pediatrics which doesn't cover half as many topics as Nelson. Also, for a great little pocket books, try Harriet Lane and Current Clinical Strategies Pediatrics 5 Minute Review.
