"This is a unique treatise on a fairly common congenital deformity. ... Since pediatricians, cardiologists, and plastic surgeons are likely to see patients with these syndromes, they are the main target audience. ... Physicians who diagnose or treat these patients will come away with insights into the syndromes and be equipped with the therapeutic modalities to correct them." (Jeffrey S. Rosenthal, Doody's Book Reviews, October 25, 2019)
