I purchased this book while taking a medical Spanish course and I plan to keep
it to flip through regularly as a refresher if I do not end up using Spanish on
a daily basis. This book allowed me to quickly find key phrases to communicate
with patients (ex: do you have a fever, how did you take his temperature, etc.
). It is appropriate for beginners as it includes phonetic pronunciations. The
only disadvantage is that there is no glossary at the back, so you must be
familiar with the lay out of the book to quickly reference phrases. I would
recommend this book to any practicing or training pediatrician who wants to
improve communication with their Hispanic patients.

This book is outstanding. As a physician who cares for large Hispanic
population, I found this book to be extremely helpful. All I have to do is to
read the questions to the parents and they answer yes or no. I am able to obtain
a complete history without relying on interpreters. It has chapters on the most
common presenting complaints in Pediatrics. This book helps me tremendously to
communicate with my patients. It is complete, easy to use and to the point. I
highly recommend it to all health care providers who care for children.
