Review quotes
Review quotes
4 Stars! “…an excellent visual guide for practitioners of regional anesthesia of all stages of training.... provides framework for understanding an extensive variety of regional anesthesia techniques in a thorough but succinct text [and] includes a wide variety of approaches to regional anesthesia from some basic principles to major anatomical subdivisions that contain the most common and useful blocks.... The quality of the images is excellent and the brief narrative pairs excellently with the necessary background information.... The editor has put together a team of experts to produce yet another high-yield edition in collaboration with a world-renowned list of faculty and practitioners from top tier academic institutions and diverse backgrounds.... I highly recommend this...solid book to have as you either explore regional anesthesia for the first time or refresh your foundation.” Review by Jose G. Grajales-Reyes, MD, PhD (Yale School of Medicine), ©Doody's Review Service, 2026. Doody's Score: 94, 4 Stars!
