Leonard J. Wudel, Jr., MD

About Dr. Wudel, Jr.

My decision to pursue a career in healthcare stems from a genuine commitment to service and a strong desire to help others. I want to ensure that every patient feels cared for, secure, and respected, and I am dedicated to their wellbeing by always being available for guidance and support.

With a specialization in general thoracic surgery, I combine advanced surgical skills with a focus on enhancing both survival rates and quality of life for my patients. I uphold the highest professional standards to deliver exceptional care, consistently striving for the very best outcomes through a combination of compassion, trust, and technical excellence. I believe in fostering a personal physician–patient relationship and am committed to providing a positive and supportive experience throughout each patient's journey.

My little something extra

I love food, watches, cool glasses, and spending time with my beautiful wife and daughter.
