About Dr. Dudash

Joseph Gregory Dudash, M.D. B. S. Medical Technology Wright State University Doctor of Medicine Wright State University School of Medicine Family Practice Residency St. Elizabeth Medical Center Dayton, Ohio

I began my career in the healthcare field by starting Wright State University in 1974 and received a degree in Medical Technology, after completing my degree, I began working at Good Samaritan Hospital as a third shift blood bank technician.  This short career was followed by attending Medical School at Wright State University School of Medicine where I was in the third graduating class from this new medical school, a three-year residency in Family Practice at St. Elizabeth Medical Center here in Dayton followed medical school. My career as a medical doctor began in 1985 when I joined a retiring physician at the corner of Wayne and Wyoming, since this time I have made several moves to relocate my practice and now have my Family Practice office in Beavercreek.

I have always felt that I would enjoy teaching since patient education and preventative medicine has been one of the most enjoyable parts of my medical practice. Several years ago, I had the opportunity to join the part-time faculty at Sinclair Community College and find that I enjoy this very much; in 2007, I joined Sinclair Community College as a full-time associate professor in the Department of Allied Health Instruction. Since I continue to have a medical practice, I keep current with medical therapies and tend to focus my teaching toward real live scenarios pertinent to most of my student's areas of interest.

I have two main hobbies, which are photography and woodworking. I have been interested in photography since I was a child. My father was an Air Force photographer during World War II and continued to enjoy photography as a hobby once home from the war. My kids get tired of me taking pictures constantly so I have begun to do more landscape photography. Most of my photos are digital that way I can adjust them and be a little more creative, I usually use Adobe PhotoShop® to enhance my photos. Lately I have become interested in digital infrared photography. The photo to the right is one I took while I was on vacation in South Carolina; it is an infrared photo of a plantation home. Notice that in black & white infrared the grass and leaves on the trees appear as white because they give off infrared light. My interest in woodworking has developed as an adult and I find that I enjoy making smaller detailed wooden items such as clocks and small boxes.
