"This is a more practical book, aimed at new learners or seasoned practitioners looking for another resource to add to their collection. The pictures and illustrations make this an easy-to-read book, with information readily available at your fingertips. This is a book I would be comfortable picking up, opening to a random chapter, and just start reading. It is an essential addition to the libraries of practitioners caring for newborns." (Poj Lysouvakon, Doody's Book Reviews, June 21, 2019)
"The newborn nursery is the first opportunity in nine months that we have to screen directly for an enormous number of critically important conditions before they become problematic. ... I am always looking for more, butthere are a good number of diagrams and tabular information in other chapters as well. ... I've already ordered copies for trainees and our nurse practitioner team. I'd suggest you do the same." (John Zupancic, Perinatal Section News, 2019)
"The authors of this text review in a very didactic manner the major problems encountered in newborns. Each chapter has an introductory patient presentation, discussions of possible problems and advise for therapy. Each chapter has conclusions in the form of 'Clinical Pearls' and many references. In few chapters there are helpful color illustrations." (Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews (PER), Vol. 16 (01), March, 2019)
