Dr.Gudger has a very high bedside manner rating with me. He has a gentle soul and his patient's seem to be top priority. At my followup visit today he was answering questions very calmly.

I was seein very quickly. My condition was explained to me so that I could understand it. The follow up for my physical therapy was very prompt. I felt when I left that I was in very good hands.
