Patient Stories

You are not alone. Others have walked this path before. Find out what SCOA patients have to say.

We felt very blessed to find Dr. Kudrik and SCOA to work with my mother and our family in treating her lung cancer. After every visit, my Mom would tell Dr. Kudrik, “I love you” and he’d smile and say, “Well I love you too!”. He’s a very sincere doctor and tells you exactly what you’re dealing with but in a very compassionate way. When you’re dealing with cancer, compassion is needed and appreciated.

It’s all about timing. We’ve heard this over the years, and it applies to a multitude of situations. Should I ask my boss for a raise this week? Should I propose to my girlfriend this holiday? Is now the time to take a vacation? All these answers depend on timing and whether the benefits outweigh the risks.
