CUSTOMER REVIEWS
"Obstetric Evidence Based Guidelines is a text that will prove useful to residents and fellows as well as to practicing obstetric clinicians. Furthermore, it can be used as a source for the development of hospital policies for the management of these obstetric problems... The major advantage of this text is that it provides guidelines for the management of commonly encountered obstetric issues in a single book."
—JAMA
"This is a welcome addition to a physician's library. Its use of current studies and easy-to-read format allow for easy fact-checking and referencing."
