"My welcome in Rochester was unbelievable. I completed medical school and my residency elsewhere, so I wondered how quickly I'd build a new professional network here. Specialists called to introduce themselves; a couple of them dropped by my office to say hello. My practice partner is terrific. Everyone made me feel right at home.
"And, I'm thrilled with the compensation model that rewards me for work I do in addition to seeing patients.
"The move to Rochester has been great for my family and me. My wife and I are especially pleased that our children have some truly excellent schools to look forward to."
Christopher Momot, MD Family Medicine Practitioner
