Review :
"This is a valuable book for all who care for urological patients. Every provider should have a foundation in evidence-based medicine and be familiar with interpreting and applying clinical knowledge to patient care. This book helps readers to achieve both. It addresses today's most relevant clinical questions in a manner that enables readers to practice evidence-based medicine skills." - Doody's Book Review, April 2019
