"Residents can be confident they are coming to a place with state-of-the-art care and they are going to interact with faculty who are really interested in delivering the best care possible. If you want to live in a very nice city with lots to do and work in an environment where people are happy, this is the place to come."- Gary S. Gronseth, M.D., FAAN, chair, Department of Neurology
