This university is graduating totally awesome primary care doctors. This area is hurting so bad for doctors just like these. They are compassionate, and knowledgeable about things that most primary care doctors haven't even heard of.
They are not in a hurry, they explain everything to you, and when they leave the room and go dictate the notes in your medical chart, they *actually* remember right and document all the details that you've discussed. So many doctors are in such a hurry, that accurate information is rarely documented in the patients medical charts.
I wish all medical universities taught the same principles as this university does, these doctors are just wonderful & the best. (I've seen several of them while they are doing their residence).
I dont think I could ever use another primary care doctor that did not get their degree at THIS university. ******THANKS******
