Dr Gudena was very personal and warm. He took his time and seemed very well prepared with my health history even though this was only my second time with him.. But perhaps the most impressive part of my visit was that he arranged a text I needed that my primary care physician had not done even after months of requesting it.. I have always been grateful and fortunate for my medical team and Dr Gudena is one of my favorites!
