[Helen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fascinating book for those interested in medicine, psychiatry, psychology, embryology, and genetics! It has medical photos along with descriptions of human deformities, including the usual and unusual symptoms, the typical life pattern, and the origin of the deformity.

[Becca · Rating 4 out of 5]

While widely considered the ur-textbook for genetic syndromes presenting with dysmorphology, Smith is invaluable as a reference, but limited as a textbook.

[Judy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was indispensable for anyone working in medical genetics. Clear and concise with pictures and references. Now I imagine this information in readily available on line ... which may make it an even better resource.

[Luciano Elementi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Clear and concise (indeed), genetic variations: the bad, the ugly, all so human.

[Megan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I used this as a reference in the pediatrics office I did my clerkship in - it was excellent for comparing pictures of the malformations to patients with these syndromes.

Excellent reference source for clinical use - NOT FOR SHELF EXAM STUDIES OR BOARD EXAM PREPARATIONS.
