Dr Allan Caudill chose this career path because he enjoys the variety that general surgery provides and the intimate knowledge of the human body needed to practice it. He credits God and his faith for making him who he is today and providing him with strength in a very difficult environment. One aspect of his job that he really enjoy is the camaraderie of the staff and the opportunity to improve people's lives. When Dr Caudill is not at work, he enjoys doing missionary work in other countries as well as fishing, hunting, golfing and spending time with family. I knew that I wanted to be a surgeon from the first time I was involved.
