"This book is unique in the way it addresses inflammatory bowel disease in the format of patient questions which then in turn leads to the discussion about that particular topic in the form of an up to date management and plan. ... The intended audience is gastroenterologists or other clinicians taking care of patients with inflammatory bowel disease." (Sunny Lo, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2016)
