This man was such a primary care physician. He was ahead of his time when he considered the patient's family life for best outcome in health challenges. Down to earth, welcomed spouse into consults, and praised a patient when they achieved wellness goals. This generation of primary care physicians is phasing out and we need to replace their value in the medical field! Rest in peace Dr. Rudolph.
