"In this very cursory overview of pediatric plastic surgery for nonsurgeons, an extensive collection of photographs accompany the 13 topics. This book would be helpful for medical students and nonsurgeon physicians who are curious about some of the conditions pediatric plastic surgeons treat. ... The audience is students and nonsurgical practitioners, and pediatricians may find the photos helpful. ... It is an excellent reference for this audience." (Michael T. Friel, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2017)
