"This is an excellent option for learning and stands out among other laryngology books. These others discuss laryngology in the traditional manner, but the case-based approach allows for improved focus and a more ward-style learning opportunity. These types of books are directly translatable to the clinic/hospital setting and will help readers understand and know these conditions so they can better care for patients." --Samuel Racette, MD, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, in Doody's Book Reviews
