“Dr. Dudas is a kind and caring doctor. He's a good listener and will respond appropriately with treatment options. Everyone at the clinic was great to deal with.” — Patty

“I chose pain management as a career because of the continuity of care, the opportunity to give patients their function and quality of life back, and the desire to use my technical skills to provide patients pain relief on a regular basis.”

Dr. Dudas has had the opportunity to tour with several bands, playing fiddle, mandolin, and guitar. In his free time, Dr. Dudas enjoys playing with his dog, Millie, exercising, playing music, and traveling.
