Special Features
By keeping a greater than 1:1 attending-to-resident ratio, we ensure that each resident gets personalized attention. Throughout the course of his or her residency, they gain a tremendous amount of clinical experience--both in the office and the operating room. Traditionally, our residents complete anywhere from 1800 to 2500 cases over the course of five years.
