Review
"Surgical procedures, especially cosmetic procedures, and laser are growing rapidly in the field of dermatology and dermatologists need to feel skilled at these in order to provide the care our patients expect of us. There are few up-to-date surgical books which address this issue, so this is a welcome addition to the field. 3 Stars."--Doody's Review Service
