Great seller !

Item comes on time. The item condition as described. Definitely a recommended book seller !!

Great Intro to Law of Healthcare Administration

A well-organized, well-written textbook, with the right mix of discussion, analysis, and excerpts from case law. Style is very matter of fact; good handling of technical legal issues to make them accessible to lay (or at least non-attorney) readers. Used it to teach law course at a public health school, and students seemed to feel the book was very good.

Excellent shape, saved me $100.

First time I ordered textbooks online. I returned the used copy I initially purchased from my college and purchased this one. I saved $100 and the book was in excellent shape.

Book Review

I received the book promptly and without any trouble. The book was in great condition as promised by the website. I was extremely satisfied with this purchase.

A definite upgrade from the old version

I'm using this text for a graduate level course, and it is a terrific resource. Our professor is one of the top health care lawyers in the state, and he is of the opinion that this text is leaps and bounds improved over the last version. I recommend it.
