What Our Residents Say...

Leah Baldinger

"To join the Periodontics residency program at Eastman Institute for Oral Health was an easy decision for me. This program provides its residents with the foundation to learn from the experts in the specialty, supports clinical decisions by teaching evidence-based techniques and permits for a strong clinical experience.

The small group of residents allows for an environment to foster robust relationships between residents and faculty. Our program director, Dr. Tsigarida, and supporting faculty encourage us to strive for excellence and help show us our full potential as specialists in the oral health profession."
