Laser Therapy in Veterinary Medicine Reviews

'The editors and chapter authors have done an excellent job of collating from various sources a significant amount of material on the clinical application of photomodulation therapy. The photos of the topical application of the laser unit should prove helpful to practitioners who wish to know exactly how and where to apply laser therapy in veterinary patients... This book is an excellent start for practitioners and students to learn about the variety of applications of the concepts of photobiomodulation' - Doody's, November 2017

This book is well researched, written, and organized and easy to understand .Overall, this is an excellent and much-needed addition to the veterinary literature. Photobiomodulation is a well-researched and documented photochemical effect that deserves a place in veterinary practice. This book will provide readers with a good understanding of how and why light can be therapeutic. JAVMA, January 2018
