As a former resident of this program, this program is the absolute best for learning how to become a “super dentist”. Because it is a VA program, you see a plethora of compromised cases that you have to help. My time spent there was second to none–in fact, I turned down full-time private practice positions to pursue an additional year of training at this GPR. I became better at full-mouth rehabilitations, cosmetics, implant surgery, bone regenerative surgery, root canals, and removable prosthodontics. To this day, I have no regrets. I learned my limitations and boundaries and most importantly, I learned my strengths and weaknesses. In any case, I recommend residency, particularly VA programs. I feel adequately prepared to speak at the level with prosthodontists.
