Resident testimonials

There is no place better to train! It has been such a privilege to learn and work here at Geisinger. Every day you are surrounded by very accomplished and intelligent individuals who offer supreme academics and invaluable life lessons.
– Lisa Pfingstler, Derm 2015

All-inclusive. Geisinger Dermatology provides great preparation for the real world. I feel my training was second to none in all aspects of dermatology, including medical dermatology, surgical dermatology, cosmetics, laser treatments, pediatric dermatology, wound care and dermatopathology. I feel the experiences at grand rounds at Geisinger, Penn State and the University of Pennsylvania were invaluable.
– Lindsey Dohse, Derm 2010, Dermpath 2011

I absolutely would train at Geisinger again. It was an opportunity to interact closely with all members of the department. I felt like my education was the priority and the staff was very responsive and kind. I came away from that year with a zest for medicine and patient care that carries on to this day.
– Nate Hanson, Mohs Fellow, 2009

My attending physicians were phenomenally knowledgeable, but also approachable and sincerely interested in teaching. My co-residents were an ongoing source of stimulation, motivation and collaboration. Geisinger Dermatology has created an exceptional environment of excellence, enthusiasm and mutual encouragement.
– Morgan Wilson, Derm 2009, Dermpath 2010

Danville has a small-town feel set in a background of beautiful mountains and fields. There are many trails to explore and places to hike. And if one should desire, there is access to the big city.
– Lauren Taglia, Derm 2015

Rural, beautiful, charming and welcoming. It is a great environment to focus on your training. What it lacks in social and cultural enrichment is easily accessible.
– Chad Thomas, Derm 2005, Mohs 2006
