"The best features of this book are the case format and the concise comments following each case. Most people learn best by combining facts with a "real" case, and this is how most of the Boards exam is written."
-Jennifer Heidmann, MD, Department of Medicine, University of California, San Francisco

"The SleepWell cases include four questions that address different aspects, and have a comprehensive review of the topic while remaining concise. I believe that this would be a more efficient way of studying for board exams."
-Leland E. Lim, MD, PhD, Department of Neurology, Stanford University

" I thought this was a very well conceived and written review book, one that would serve its readers well in preparation for an USMLE-style exam."
-Bhushan S. Agharkar, MD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Emory University

"The best features of the book are the breadth of its cases and the emphasis on diagnosis, treatment and management. The questions are sufficiently challenging to provide intellectual stimulation. Having the answers at the bottom of the page after the case allows the learner to retake the questions after assimilitating the information in the explanation of the case. The case based approach promotes independent learning."
-Nancy Pandhi, MD, Department of Family Practice, Medical College of Virginia

Perfect for medical students -- physician assistants, nurse practitioners and related health professionals will also find SleepWell valuable.
