“I remember meeting Dr. Laharwani for the first time when I went for an Observership at her residency institution.

I was thoroughly impressed by her extent of knowledge. Her interview tips helped me excel in the remainder of the interviews, and after that, she began mentoring me. She has been kind enough to guide me throughout the residency, teaching me pathology or helping me with fellowship applications. She has fostered a relationship of trust and reliability. She is the most thoughtful and humble being I have ever met.”
