Testimonials
Dr. X is different. Really different preceptor in the way that he does not apply premade learning program to his students. He rather observes your weaknesses and strengths and creates conditions to test you in that areas and teaches you with his own perspective about how he can improve your skill sets. I feel incredibly lucky to be able to meet with him. I am really thankful for his teaching, caring and pushing me every week.
