He is so sweet and explains everything so well!
He is smart, kind, and very capable. He listens to the patient and responds. I'm very sad that you will be out of network for UHC.

I appreciate Dr.Gudgel is always willing to answer any question and explain for seniors to understand. I feel I’m in knowledgeable, thorough care with Dr. Gudgel. The one thing is it feels Dr. Gudgel is a bit rushed like maybe he’s behind schedule. I’m thankful for Dr. Gudgel.
