Hands down, the best book published to date for our specialty. Only wished it was released years ago, before I wasted so much money on other books in our specialty. No other book is even close to representing the information contained in this masterpiece. The diagrams & pictures are so detailed, a monkey could follow the instructions. Pure genius. If you don't own this book, you are wrong. A must have addition to your knowledge library.
The text is excellent. Well written and concise with outstanding diagrams and photos . It weighs about 20 lbs. It is available on Kindle but it's another $300 plus. I feel that it should be available on your personal Kindle if you purchased the hardback. That is the only reason for 4 stars. I would have given it 5 stars but for over $300, the Kindle version should be available at no extra cost. It's an "at home book". I will update once I have read more of the book and/or if I have made an error and am indeed permitted to use the Kindle version. The other option would have been to make it a 2 or even a 3 volume set as a 6 to 7 lb book is easy enough to tote.
best book I have found. Pictures are amazing. The format is a step-by-step layout which I find the best way to learn, especially when reviewing surgeries prior to going to the OR. I find myself making my notes in a step-wise manner and this book nails it. Would highly recommend this.
I was reluctant to purchase a $300 book without reading through it first, but now that I took the plunge and purchased it, I'm ecstatic about it. It's probably the most comprehensive OMFS resource that comprehensively covers traditional OMFS as well as broader scope elements like cosmetics, head & neck, and cleft/craniofacial. The text is organized in a clear and concise manner, and it has relevant surgical illustrations that are very helpful.
The only flaw in this book is that it comes in one gargantuan book instead of in two volumes. I would have been willing to pay a little more to have this textbook divided into two books for ease-of-carry. Any other medical text this size would probably be divided. This thing is a monster and is meant to sit on your desk or shelf.I'm a practicing otolaryngologist, but this is a great reference for me to educate myself on what my oral surgeon colleagues are dealing with in the head and neck. An outstanding text.
This book is my most valuable reference as a resident getting ready to transition into practice. My only qualm is that it wasn't published earlier before I spent thousands of dollars on other books... nothing compares. The printed text is a quite large and heavy, so if you plan to use this on the go, I suggest purchasing the digital edition.
Excellent bookAmazing illustrations
Great book. Procedure explained step by step. A must read before doing cases for residents.
