Interview mock sessions were phenomenal!
As someone who wanted to understand how to perform during interviews, not only did these mocks allow me to gain confidence, but they also helped me know how to showcase my personality while remaining professional. Dr Yazan Abboud and Dr Heya Batah had such invaluable insights and truly helped me in building my skills in delivering well-crafted answers even on the go.

Dr. Hamza Ibad was phenomenal in helping me refine my application documents, which has clearly strengthened my application – I’ve already received a couple of interview invitations!

I completed 1 hour of advising and 2 hours of interview preparation with Dr. Nina Haddad and they were great! She was really prepared for them. Besides, she is very kind and she patiently answered all my questions.

I had a good experience with Dr.Yash. He worked me through different aspects of the residency interview with written feedback on things to improve. It was an enlightening experience.

The Match Guy has been such a helpful resource for me during the residency application process. I worked with Dr. Heya as my physician advisor, and she was always there for me, especially on WhatsApp whenever I had questions or needed guidance. She helped me make the right decisions for my application submission and really supported me throughout the process. I’m grateful for her advice and encouragement, especially as I move into interview prep. :)

I had an excellent experience working with Match Guy. They were very organized, knowledgeable, and immediately connected me with the right people, which gave me confidence in my residency preparation.
I also had the chance to work with Dr. Haddad as an advisor. She was extremely flexible with scheduling and provided clear, practical guidance on every aspect of the residency process, from signals and letters of recommendation to ERAS and interview preparation. She patiently answered all my questions and made the session both thorough and reassuring.
Overall, they are a strong, experienced team with a proven track record of helping applicants succeed. I highly recommend them!

I had a wonderful experience training with Dr. Nina Rossa Haddad for my interview. She simulated a realistic interview and provided detailed feedback on my presentation, responses, and body language. She also shared practical tips for handling each type of question I might encounter. Dr. Haddad is exceptionally attentive and brings extensive knowledge and expertise to the field!

The Match Guy offers an exceptional program designed to guide applicants through every stage of the residency application process. I personally enrolled in the Platinum Package, which included virtually unlimited personal statement reviews, and I cannot overstate how valuable this service was.
To provide a clear overview, I’ve broken my review into key sections:
Overall Experience
Dr. Elli served as my primary advisor and point of contact throughout the process. From day one, he consistently checked in, often daily, and was always available to address any concerns or questions—often within just a few hours, even during late-night moments of anxiety. His attentiveness and dedication ensured I fully utilized each component of the program, from personal statement editing to interview preparation. He also proactively connected me with my personal statement and specialty advisors whenever needed. His unwavering support provided me with clarity and confidence during an otherwise overwhelming time.
Personal Statement, CV, and Application Guidance
I worked with Dr. Fisher on my personal statement, CV, and ERAS application. His support was instrumental in my success. During our initial brainstorming session, I struggled to know where to begin, but he was able to extract 10–12 key bullet points from our conversation that I later developed into a compelling and coherent narrative. His insights helped me refine the structure and tone of my statement, as well as reframe content in my CV to better highlight my strengths.
Dr. Fisher also meticulously reviewed my ERAS application. In one notable instance, he caught a potentially problematic response I had marked as "Yes" and walked me through what the question was truly asking. His clarification helped me correct it to "No," likely preventing a negative flag. When I became anxious after attending open houses discussing red flags and application pitfalls, he calmly reassured me by referencing data and research The Match Guy had compiled—this helped me stay grounded and avoid impulsive changes to my application.
His support extended to countless details, including choosing between bullet points or essay-style responses in specific sections. His guidance throughout this process was invaluable.
Specialty Advising and Interview Preparation
For specialty and interview preparation, I worked with Dr. Bousamra, who is in the field I applied to. His guidance was extremely helpful—he advised me on how to secure away electives, supported me when I faced multiple rejections, and encouraged me to advocate for additional rotations at my home institution.
For interview preparation, Dr. Bousamra ran highly effective mock sessions, varying the questions each time to simulate real interview unpredictability. This prepared me to respond calmly and thoughtfully regardless of the question. He also helped me become aware of my verbal habits, allowing me to refine my delivery. Additionally, he provided tailored guidance on program-specific questions I could ask during open houses and interviews, based on our ongoing discussions and what he identified as important to me.
Even after interview season, he remained approachable and willing to answer questions beyond the scope of the cycle. His advice continues to benefit me today.
Final Thoughts
There’s much more I could say, but the bottom line is this: The support I received from The Match Guy—from the entire team—has been absolutely invaluable. Their involvement didn’t end on Match Day. I know I can still reach out for guidance, and that kind of continued support is rare.
To anyone considering this service, my one piece of advice is this: yes, the upfront cost may feel significant, especially for medical students managing tight budgets. But investing in your application now is far more cost-effective—emotionally, mentally, and financially—than facing the consequences of an avoidable reapplication. In my experience, it was entirely worth it.
Good luck to everyone going through this process—you’ve got this.

I discovered The Match Guy while preparing for my USMLE exams through YouTube. I quickly realized that they genuinely care about each candidate’s success in achieving their medical dreams. Because of that, I decided to use The Match Guy again for my residency journey.
Without hesitation, I chose the Platinum Package, knowing I could make the most of their resources and expert guidance. They even helped me select an advisor—and I have absolutely no regrets. My advisor was incredibly supportive from start to finish. He reviewed and edited my personal statement and ERAS application multiple times, and gave me valuable feedback on my interview skills.
Thanks to The Match Guy team, I successfully matched in 2025 cycle. While it was ultimately up to me to pursue my medical dream, I’m truly grateful for their guidance, advice, and support, which helped strengthen my application and navigate my journey in the right direction.

I’m grateful to Dr. Asaad’s team for helping me out throughout my match journey. Dr. Hadidi helped me with my interview preparation and he was very structured, organized and thorough with answering all the questions I had. On asking, he even looked into the programs and helped me structure my answers accordingly. I believe one of the questions he helped me with for my interview was the turning point that helped me match at this program. Not only that, but he kindly understood my feedback and preponed our sessions, which helped me feel comfortable in preparing for my sessions. I would have loved to receive more WhatsApp support as mentioned (apart from the 1:1 interview sessions) for the platinum plan, but overall the entire team did help me feel comfortable preparing for the interviews for which I shall always remain grateful. Thank you so much once again!

Had my interview prep with Dr. Fisher as well as ERAS app/personal statement editing. He was absolutely amazing! He gave me access to his personal phone to contact him if i had any questions and was patient with me through editing various drafts, even letter of intents/interest. He succinctly tailored my personal statement and ERAS application with the right amount of edits without stripping away my essence and genuineness-- curated to perfection every sentence-- to the point where I messaged him several times even about one bullet point to look over and he was so patient and helped me until i felt comfortable with it. Honestly was godsend, because I don't know how else I would have navigated the stress without having someone to speak to about what is worth including and what is not. or how to make the application concise yet impactful, this is something i think most people worry over, and the task itself is very daunting but the Match Guy, Dr Fisher and Dr. Madj who did my other interview session, made it all bearable, and kind of fun to go through the process. I felt confident in my application and interview skills of course a lot of is doing them repeatedly. Regarding my interview prep with Dr. Madj in detail: My interview prep with Dr. El-Harasis was amazing; he was absolutely wonderful, and I learned a lot from him. He made me feel so at ease and gave me the options of how I wanted my interview to be conducted. We did a mock interview and then analysis/feedback on my interview. particularly, I loved that he turned on a transcribe feature on teams which actually transcribed the feedback portion of the interview, which was so helpful to reference back and create my own interview checklist/notes lists that I was adding onto. He sent me the transcript via email so I could have it on me whenever I needed. I referenced it a couple of times during my interview season. He prepared me really well for my answers but then we also talked about other potential questions that could be asked as well what else to add to my answers that would enhance my answer hence making it much more impactful during the interview. I received great compliments from some of the PDs/faculty I interviewed with saying that I was so natural and enthusiastic with everything I talked about in my application. This was 100% due to Dr. El-Harasis mentioning something to me that I haven't been quite able to forget which is always keep that enthusiasm and spontaneity because it's very refreshing for interviewers because it is memorable to them after having so many interviews after interviews.
I would highly highly recommended Dr. El-Harasis to everyone-- he was such a gem. Thank you Match Guy, Dr Fisher and Dr. El-Harasis! Couldn't have done it without your support; if your thinking about it don't think just do it! you'll be so glad even if its one of their single packages or even just personal statement editing.

Dr. Funso was a steady and encouraging presence throughout my application journey. His advising helped keep me grounded and confident, and his interview prep made a huge difference. I walked into each interview feeling calm, focused, and well-prepared—and I actually received several compliments on how polished and thoughtful my responses were.
His support and guidance were instrumental in helping me match at a great psychiatry program. I’m incredibly grateful and would recommend working with him to anyone going through the Match. Cannot recommend these services enough!

I had an outstanding experience with The Match Guy. My mentor, Dr. Gebara, was incredibly helpful and patient throughout the entire process. She also guided me through interview preparation, offering professional and thoughtful feedback that truly boosted my confidence.
My personal statement editor, Dr. Tanti, was equally supportive—always kind and generous with her insights, ensuring my statement authentically reflected my story.
I especially want to recognize Eli, who checked in with me at least once a week. He was consistently responsive, kind, and made me feel like my success genuinely mattered to him. That level of personal attention is rare and made a significant difference in my journey.
I highly recommend The Match Guy to anyone seeking dedicated, compassionate, and personalized support throughout the match process.

Dr Mo Tabary is the best interview coach I have come across. I followed his guidelines and I got matched. He made the interview preparation looks simple and his feedback is superb.
I had very little time to prepare for a potential interview. The fact that Dr Yazan Abboud was able to make such drastic changes and instill so much confidence in me with hardly any turnaround time to work with was incredible. Thank you to the team for the prompt response and efforts!!!!

Thank you Dr Asaad and your wonderful team that helped with my interview prep. Thanks to the extremely precise feedback I received, I really worked on my interview skills and I matched in my first cycle as an old YOG (graduated in 2016) into my top choice!! I still cannot wrap my head around it.Thank you Dr Zhang, Dr Farinas Jr and Dr Traboulsi for such good pointers and guidance! I have already recommended your team to most of my friends. Please keep doing your incredible work!!

He genuinely does his best to help you succeed, offering honest and practical advice. His support with interview preparation was particularly valuable, equipping me with the skills and confidence needed to perform well. Thanks to his guidance, I matched at my desired program, and if I had to choose again, I would definitely work with him. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking expert, competent, and reliable support.
