Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐I’ve used portions of Dr. Goodman’s Ophtho notes for years and still find it a great reference for the details I tend to forget but should still know. It is the high speed residents’ little books of key facts and lecture notes combined in one thorough and polished volume. It remains valuable for me to open a given chapter and sharpen my mind on a subject, whether for testing, clinical decision making, or holding on to what we’ve studied in years of training.

⭐The essential guide for the resident ophthalmologist or ophthalmologist who wants all the essential information of ophthalmology in one small paperback. This is like having the entire BCSC series in one small book–but even better because only the essential facts are presented. This book is very well organized and finding information quickly is very easy. All the information is very up-to-date as well. No library is complete without this essential text.
