Testimonials

Dr. X is incredibly engaging and truly loves to teach. From the very first day I felt welcome and like I was part of the team. This welcoming atmosphere not only came from the doctor, but also from the office staff, medical assistants and other providers. Everyone was kind, patient, and happy to teach. Dr. X exemplifies the kind of pediatrician that I hope to be. The doctor puts patients first, really attempts to get to know them and their families, attempts to understand the patients point of view in a non-judgmental way, and truly
cares about the patients physical and mental wellbeing. During the month I was given increasing autonomy to see patients, develop a differential diagnosis, and come up with a plan. Over the month I was able to form a strong bond with Dr. X and will certainly stay in touch with the doctor as someone I turn to for not only medical advice, but life advice. I would highly recommend this rotation to learners of all levels.
