Great Doctor

There was some confusion about prep required for this appt., but needed physical recheck, so no problem. Dr Chudzinski was very concerned that I was told to prep when not needed. Staff is fantastic and I had a potential problem, so all was well.

Dr. Chudzinski was a professional. Fast and direct, and I appreciate that. I know the had a surgery to attend to but he took the time to explain the surgery, talk about associated risks and again was upfront. Great doctor

I can't tell you how much Dr Chudzinski's presence took a huge weight off my shoulders! I'm so glad we met! I've chronic problems and he took the time to interact with me; explained not only what his rectal exam involved, but also the best treatment options for me after his exam; and why I'd have to have two visits with colonoscopy preps (ugh, but makes sense). I'm driving 2-4 hours to see him on recommendation and referral. It's obvious that Dr Chudzinski is at the "top of his game". And I feel safe in his hands :-)

I was in contact with 2 doctors and both were very attentive to my feelings and concerns. I couldn't ask for a better experience considering my unfortunate illness. They both made me feel so much better of my situation when I got done
