Testimonials
My rotation with Dr. X was a very well-rounded experience because I had a perfect balance between OR, clinic, and inpatient time. The amount of responsibility and independence Dr. X gave me during my rotation was remarkable. The doctor always made sure I got the most out of every opportunity, whether it was interacting with patients, doing minor procedures like stapling, suture removal, wound care, or any surgery in the OR. At the same time, Dr. X was always there to guide me when I needed help. The doctor also connected me with colleagues, and they invited me into their ORs and let me observe and assist them with their cases.
Dr. X, in addition to being a great surgeon, was also a great mentor. The doctor taught me about the fast-paced nature of surgical life and encouraged me to work faster, and at the same time, efficient and careful. The doctor also taught me how to communicate and work with senior physicians and other staff. Dr. X gave
me a lot of valuable career advice, and as an aspiring surgeon, I found one piece of advice very important...I think Dr. X's mentorship was the most highlighting part of the rotation.
I’m very grateful for everything I learned from Dr. X and the entire team. Overall, I think this is a perfect rotation for anyone interested in surgery and I will definitely recommend this.
