Really good organization. Helpful descriptions. Easy to find information.“I actually really liked this text for my Advanced Assessment course. I liked how it was broken down by area or body system, and then further broken down my differential diagnosis. The information is organized in a way that makes sense and is super easy to skim to find exactly what you need.”—Alexx

Happy I bought this book.“This is my number one resource for Differential Diagnosis. The information in this book is making my Assessment class easier. I'm glad I bought it!”— Aida G.

“I use it everyday in my practice, it helped me improve my assessment skills.”—Ernest C.
