Testimonials
"I highly recommend this rotation to all medical students wishing to pursue a career in OB/GYN. Honestly, he is one of the best doctors I have ever rotated with, if not the best, and you will also have the opportunity to rotate with more physicians that work in partner practices. Not only is he an outstanding, knowledgeable doctor but he is also a great mentor, teacher and writer. He will always be available for your questions and will go out of his way to make you feel comfortable and specially make you feel part of the team. He is also very kind and caring towards patients and so are all the other preceptors I was lucky enough to work with...this is a great opportunity to learn more about reproductive endocrinology and infertility subspecialty since in med school we are not trained enough in this area, especially if you are interested in the field. Lastly, if you are willing to do research, there are also many opportunities provided."
