Attentive, Detailed and Professional
He is a good doctor
This was my second year with Dr. Gudgel and I am more than pleased with him as my eye doctor and it took me quite some time to find the right doctor. I am very comfortable with him and he is a very caring and understanding doctor. I e already referred him to a friend of mine as well.
Love Dr Gudgel!
At checkout time it was very very difficult to find a 6 month appointment time and date at either clinic.
Excellent communication skills. He explained everything that was going on with my eyes, the treatment options, and next steps to take. My questions were answered with honesty and obvious expertise. Dr. Gudgel is the perfect balance of professionalism and relatability!! Highly recommend💯
Dr. Gudgel is very personable and friendly. He makes me feel like he is glad to see me at each visit. He answers my questions and explains what is the next step is going to be. His staff is friendly and helpful in answering questions . I appreciate that there is an advice nurse option when I call in for medication questions- they either answer my question or get back to me within a day or so.
Nice doctor that gives me plenty of time and answers questions well.
He got me in for a urgent appointment. And was through and professional.
Very friendly. Always a good visit.
