Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"ACS Surgery is loaded with algorithms, line drawings, and extensive tables that are very well done and very useful…At the end of most chapters is a discussion by the author that ties together all the concepts in the chapter.
This book has been assembled in a very effective manner by the editorial board of the ACS. It clearly presents the best surgical thinking for a variety of diseases. It is easy to read and yet detailed in its content. It is an excellent addition to our surgical literature and one that will be very useful to residents learning this difficult area as well as to practicing surgeons who want to be current."

-- Bruce E. Jarrell, MD - University of Maryland School of Medicine Doody's Book Review Service

"We are now basing the Johns Hopkins surgical residency curriculum on this publication, and I have purchased copies for all of the residents in my program!
Not only is ACS Surgery a practical and useful reference, but it is refreshing to use something that is so current! And with the authority of the College behind it, it can't be beat."
