Review Quotes
Choice
"Her solutions are well thought out and documented, and should assist all health care workers with their self-awareness, self-care, and self-improvement issues. The book is a fast and interesting read that should be given to all health care professionals to remind them about the importance of mindfulness. Highly recommended."
Family Medicine
“In A Doctor’s Dozen, Catherine Florio Pipas, MD, MPH brings her experience and that of 12 patients to provide 12 important strategies for health and wellness. . . . A gold mine of insight and good practical advice. . . . There are a few books that medical students, residents, and practicing physicians find the time to read that have a profound impact on the meaning one gets from the work of doctoring. This is such a book. I recommend that A Doctor’s Dozen be dog-eared and on the bookshelf of anyone in family medicine education. You may need to buy multiple copies since you are likely to give it out to learners in distress.”
