“This book is a great effort. The material covered and information provided makes it a comprehensive review. It has everything primary care physicians need to know for managing a patient in pain. It can also be a source of quick review when taking a recertifying pain examination.” (Tariq M. Malik, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
