Patient Reviews
Mar 08, 2025
I have been having problems with my knees. I made an appointment to have Dr. Gudger, Jr check to see what he thought. The x-ray did not show anything wrong. He listened to me describe my pain concern and made suggestions to me of questions to ask my medical doctor. He is very attentive and i left his office that day feeling relieved after talking with him.
