Review Quotes:

"Black-and-white and full-color charts, micrographs, photos, tables, x-rays and other types of images are used throughout the book to make it easier for the student or practitioner to understand what is presented in the text portion of the chapters. Books on the subject of platelet-rich plasma are rare, and this one is quite comprehensive and thorough in its coverage. This is an excellent addition to the library of anyone interested in learning more about, or practicing regenerative medicine." (Nano Khilnani, Biz India Online News, bizindia.net, April, 2015)

"The focus of this wonderful book is on the foundation, impact, application, and future of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). ... A broad audience of primary care physicians and surgeons, as well as researchers and clinicians, will benefit from the information and direction that this book provides. ... it is well organized and provides a great deal of valuable information that is easy to follow and retrieve. This is an excellent, foundational book on PRP." (Mark R. Hutchinson, Doody's Book Reviews, February, 2014)
