Great faculty and residents
Great facilities
'Wills family'
It's Wills. This is a stellar program. Eye ER is unique and very high-yield for learning. Surgery is back-loaded.
Great reputation, great feel, Philadelphia, Arizona rotation
Incredible facilities, 15-story beautiful eye hospital that stands as a testament to ophthalmic prowess, very nice 24/7 eye ED right next to the main hospital, PD is amazing and incredibly nice, great location right in the middle of everything in Center C
Reputation, location, beautiful clinical facilities, lots of fellows but surgeries protected for residents, happiest residents I met anywhere who really love their program. Diverse path and great surgical numbers.
