Dr. Small has created a very readable, well referenced, delightfully complete and unbiased opus on Laser and Light. This textbook is current, easy to navigate and has copious pictures and diagrams, well developed patient education sheets, consents and procedure flow sheets. The physics, histology, tissue interactions and safety of each laser treatment and wavelength are presented in a sensible manner that serves as a great reference for neophytes and more experienced laser practitioners alike. The videos on the ebook are well filmed and offer a wealth of insight.I regularly recommend this book to my students and staff.In full disclosure, yes, I am a bit of a nerd and I enjoyed reading every well laid out page. :-)Congratulations Dr Small, and many thanks for this much needed addition to our library!Ed Zimmerman, MD Medical Director Las Vegas Laser & Lipo; President of the American Board of Laser Surgery, Inc.

Fabulous book for physicians and aesthetic RN's, covers a wide variety of laser procedures with information I haven't been able to find in other laser reference books. I appreciate the attention to detail. Up to date information, the illustrations were helpful. I recommend this book!

This text is masterfully written and will become a classic in the field. The quality of the many illustrations is also outstanding. This is the ideal text for anyone entering the field; but browsing it will also be a pleasure for the experienced reader. It is a highly recommended "practical" textbook.

Excellent overview of light/tissue interaction. Laser technology is changing quickly and this is the most up-to-date text that I have found. The other book sin the series are excellent as well.

Perfect for my needs.
