Dr. Gudgel was drawn to ophthalmology because he found improving and preserving a patient’s vision to be extremely rewarding. He feels that practicing medicine is a tremendous privilege and is grateful for the opportunity to serve his patients.
Outside of the office, Dr. Gudgel most enjoys spending time with his wonderful wife and 2 children. He loves to explore the outdoors with his family and has a particular interest in hiking and skiing. He is also a big college football fan and loves watching his Oklahoma Sooners play on Saturdays.
