I’am a specialist on general internal medicine, and i work in a universitary hospital, i have responsability in education of residents in family care medicine. I think, that this boox can help in this formation because is very clear in explanations and criterials of clinicasl problems and aid to take decisssions. My suggest is in future edition, you should include some chapters about geriatric medicine.

I love the way this book is broken down in each section including patho, presentation, diagnosis, principles of therapy, patient eduation, and therapeutic recommendations. There is even a section for referral indications. I bought this book to supplement my primary care text book, and to use as a reference for discussion boards and papers.

For an office based physician this thouroghly updated and referenced text-book offers the best evidence based information in short time of turning fewer pages. I use it more than Harrison’s text-book as it more SOAP related and better cross-referenced.
The editors of this brand-book made current changes, making it state of the art standard-bearer of text-books for any practicing physician. Moreover, my money is well spend when I bought this from Amazon.com store that let be browse books before I buy and has Nordstrom like sevice that makes book buying a dream.

This textbook is very informative and helpful in my current practice as a family physician and geriatrician. The topics are up-to-date and very relevant.

This is a book that my family practice residency uses for diadactic readings. I have found it to be well written and organized for primary care adult medicine. It is very up to date on latest research and gives recommendations at the end of the chapter with evidence based recommendations. It can at times be a bit wordy, but overall very good. A couple down sides are there are no pediatric topics discussed and Goroll does not include any mentioning of osteopathic manipulation, even though there is some significant efficacy studies involving osteopathic manipulation. Overall a good text.
