Ratings and reviews

Very thorough and informative. I've gained comfortability from this service. Cross referencing should be an automatic action to make certain the knowledge sought after is factual and accurate for whatever reason(s) for the inquiry. Sometimes critical situations occurs and time doesn't allow verification. If you do not know the information already & only a few seconds for one source.... This would be #1. Thanks for this service!

1. Beautiful, but it needs a dark theme, like with white text on a black background. 2. The bibliographic info appears at the end of each definition, in text of the same color and nearly the same size as the definition itself, making it harder to discern between that and the definition. 3. As on all Farlex apps, when an existing definition is open and you click into the search field it does not clear the previous search query

I consider Medical Dictionary by Farlex, as is the case with all Farlex dictionaries, to be the most accurate & useful reference for all who need such a handy & commendable reference. Precise & to the point, as well as fully satisfactory, I must say it is truly "indispensable" to me personally, although I'm not working in the medical field but am a Translation Specialist performing medical translation in the military. Besides, without question, it will be quite "indispensable" to all. Thank you
