"Intended as a quick yet concise review of otolaryngology, the book is also an ideal study guide for professional board examinations....Overall, this is a worthwhile book, and one that should be used by all medical students and residents in otolaryngology. It is one of the most complete quick reference and study guides available. The editor and authors have improved on the previous edition. 5 Stars!"--Doody's Review Service (Doody's )

Customer Reviews

good book
I bought this book for my preparation for the exit exams in ENT. It covers more or less all the subspecialties of ENT and is a very easy read .Some of the key papers are quoted at the bottom of the chapter and is useful for further read .Considering that the author is a Otologist ,the best part of the book is OTOLOGY/SKULLBASE. The main drawback of the book is that, the whole book is written with an American perspective and caution should be exercised while quoting the book with some of the practices (Audiology/Head and Neck... etc).I wish it was Hard bound ....by the time you finish revising the book ,the pages are in your hands (literally) .
Overall a Good, easy to read `fit for purpose' revision book before Board or EXIT exams.
