Student Review
"Best group of ODs that I have worked with thus far; they made a strong effort to ensure that I received the most exposure to a variety of patients and diseases during my rotation. If an interesting patient comes in, the ODs always make sure that you have a chance to come a take a look at the patient before they leave. All of the attendings are very open and I always felt very comfortable asking questions when I felt unsure. After completing this rotation, I am definitely more efficient and confident with primary care."
