Testimonials

Dr. X's strengths would be, unironically, everything. One thing that really left an impression on me was how comfortable all of the patients were with the doctor, with some of them trusting the doctor with their care for 20+ years. This isn’t at all surprising, however, given how great of a physician Dr. X is. The doctor represents everything I strive to be as a future family doctor: knowledgeable, confident, and caring...Additionally, Dr. X and the team created a safe space for me to learn and grow as a doctor. They were all very willing to teach me both clinical knowledge and application. Dr. X gave me full freedom to learn and apply everything in the clinic. I administered B12 and GLP-1 injections, drew blood, took patient histories, did physical examinations, and even learned about the structure of the EMR all the way to patient instructions. From the receptionist’s work all the way to Dr. X’s patient summaries, there was no bit of knowledge about a family medicine clinic spared. If given the opportunity, I would gladly do another rotation with Dr. X and the team.
