Reviews

“This book provides a fairly thorough evaluation of gastrointestinal motility, a subspecialty of gastroenterology that has been gaining increasing interest in recent years. … Although intended for practicing clinicians, the book can be useful for trainees as an overview and reference. … This is a good quality book.” (Nicole E. Pisapia, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2017)
