TESTIMONIALS

"Very passionate and kind physician. Loves to teach. Includes you in decision making regarding the patient."

Gurjot (MD2B Connect Client)

"The rotation provided an excellent clinical opportunity. The preceptor was knowledgeable and insightful. The rotation provided an opportunity to work in an inpatient and outpatient clinic."

Sai (MD2B Connect Client)

"As a primary care physician, the doctor builds a strong doctor-patient visit starting with the first visit, ensuring good adherence with follow-up visits. He also emphasizes the importance of communication between different medical specialties (during the rotation I had the opportunity to discuss many patients' diagnoses and treatments with hematologists, radiologists, and neurologists. As a teacher and mentor, he provides an environment for discussion of potential diagnoses, most appropriate lab tests/imaging, and possible treatments.

Aida (MD2B Connect Client)

"The doctor is really a great teacher who lets you take a leading role in patient treatment. He allows you to run an encounter like a full medical officers and will always tell you what can be improved or changed. By the midway point of the rotation, you have more autonomy in devising patient differentials and plans and his method allows you to feel very confident in doing so. He gives a great deal of autonomy and I feel that it is a great practice run for intern year. I have learned so much in a very short time."
