Reviews
“It was refreshing to read a work that is outside my specialty and be able to follow along without having to stop and look up every other word. It was engaging, informative, and right to the point. I loved how it was scholarly, yet personal, using language like “people,” “children,” and “pediatric,” reminding me that we’re not just talking about numbers and patients, but people, just like the ones I love in my family. This subject deserves our attention.” – Justin A. Brown, D.C.
