Student Review
My expectations were most definitely met, as I was exposed to a variety of ocular diseases. Dr. Taji is very knowledgeable and experienced, especially in dry eye disease and glaucoma. She has the latest and most effective treatments available for dry eye, and really helped me understand the numerous aspects of the disease.
Dr. Taji is a great preceptor and she not only helped me in a time of need by setting up a new site, but also did her best to provide excellent clinical experience for me. I had an adequate amount of independence in the exam room, and consistent mentorship while working with her. Things worked a little differently with the other preceptors but it provided different experiences.
