Customer Reviews

Gold Standard
I have used this little gem for fifteen + years. It is widely, almost universally, accepted among doctors as reliable, quick, and complete. Any practicing physician who prescribes antibiotics and treats a variety of infectious diseases should have a current copy of Sanford's.

Nothing new: this is a must for all primary care doctors
Nothing new: this is a must for all primary care doctors. This has long become THE source of guidelines for antimicrobial treaments, yet small enough to fit in a white coat pocket. It is a little bigger and heavier this year. But, what can we say: there are more necessary information. I'd rather have a bigger book than dealing with smaller characters.

Must have
This little book is a must have for any resident, intern or practicing physician, those in the primary care fields in particular.
