Student Review
"Absolutely fantastic site! If you have any interest of being in private practice or a peds/vt/bv site this is the site for you. All the doctors want you to succeed, especially if going into private practice. Every Tuesday the doctors take you out to lunch and you can ask them ANY questions you want, peds, specialty contacts, cases you saw or are curious about, private practice management, billing, life... I used my time to ask about private practice as Dr. Draisin has about 45 years by himself and everyone in the office combined around 60 years! Be sure to use this time to pick their brains as the doctors here have a wealth of knowledge that you can try to soak all up."
