Review quotes

"This is one of the foundations of modern medicine. It remains a must-have for every medical library, particularly for internal medicine physicians."

-Vincent F Carr, DO, MSA, FACC, FACP (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences) Doody’s Score: 97 - 5 Stars!

"Goldman-Cecil Medicine – the best internal medicine resource available since 1927 – far exceeds the competition in versatility, ease of use and up-to-datedness. This 25th edition remains the reference of choice for every stage of readers’ careers, an ideal learning tool for residents, physicians, and students as well as a valuable go-to resource for experienced healthcare professionals." – SirReadaLot.org (June 2015, Issue #194)

"The content is superb, authoritative and not surprisingly very up to date. I am sure undergraduates and post graduates from a large number of disciplines will find this an excellent reference source. In this country GPs and specialists with an interest in general medicine will find this a great resource...An outstanding and modern general medical textbook which offers massive broad coverage and bundled with a new purchase is a great and highly useful collection of digital products, it represents outstanding value for money".
