Dermatologic and Cosmetic Procedures in Office Practice
Initial 'version' of this book - "Skin Surgery, A Practical Guide" was invaluable to me in developing insight into primary care skin procedures. Now the new evolution- "Dermatologic and Cosmetic Procedure in Office Practice" is my favorite reference and field guide in the procedure room.
Tables on characteristics of sutures and steroid strengths, and figures of skin tension lines and at-risk anatomic areas are few of many useful tables and figures I frequently use as snap shot references. With the Ipad application of the same book, I enjoy watching the video clips on the go- an excellent audio-visual experience that helped refine my surgical skills and advance my practice to a whole new level.
From 'Getting Started' to 'Putting it All Together', this book/ mobile application has all the crucial information needed to start, thrive and excel in providing much needed office-based procedural care services. With excellent quality pictures and videos, it is a complete self-learning tool and invaluable resource for every learner, educator and practitioner of primary or specialty care.

DERMATOLOGIC & COSMETIC PROCEDURES IN OFFICE PRACTICE
AS A ENTRY LEVEL NURSE PRACTITIONER, I FOUND THIS BOOK TO BE INVALUABLE. IT HAS WONDERFUL PICTURES FOR EACH STEP OF A PROCEDURE. THE INSTUCTIONS ARE EASY TO UNDERSTAND.
IT COVERS ALL THE PROCEDURES THAT EMPLOYERS WOULD LIKE FOR AN NP TO HAVE EXPERIENCE IN PERFORMING IN THE CLINICAL SETTING.
IT IS UP TO DATE AND PROVIDES POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS FOR EACH PROCEDURE. THIS IS VALUABLE IN OBTAINING AN INFORMED CONSENT FROM THE PATIENT PRIOR TO THE PROCEDURE. ADDITIONALLY, IT PROVIDES THE PRACTITIONER WITH THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO QUICKLY ASCERTAIN IF ANY COMPLICATIONS ARE DEVELOPING.


Very useful in daily practice
I am a Primary Care Physician with a special interest in Dermatology. I got this book during a medical conference (Pri-Med in Boston).
In reviewing this book, I found it is really helful in my practice because every procedure is very well explained. For example, it has tables for recommended doses of steroid injections, as well as guidence in the type of equipment needed for every procedure. The pictures are excellent. The book has a DVD if you need more details about a particular topic and it has a link to access online. The authors give advice for coding and billing, which keep non-profit organizations in business. I love this book. I use it every day in my practice and recommend it to any practicioner wanting to improve their skills in dealing with dermatological procedures.
