Reviews

"This will be useful for a wide variety of readers. Endocrine fellows will find it particularly useful, but practicing endocrinologists and even internists with an interest in endocrinology will find it helpful as well. Despite its many authors, the book does not seem at all disjointed. The authors are well known in endocrinology and are experts in their respective fields....This book, one of the best endocrine textbooks, manages to be comprehensive but not overwhelming. Since various aspects of clinical endocrinology have changed in recent years, a new edition is certainly warranted. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in endocrinology. 5 Stars!"--"Doody's Review Service"
