Dr. John Kwedar, an ophthalmologist with Springfield Clinic since June 1992, was nominated by his peers and presented the A. Raymond Eveloff Award for Clinical Excellence.
"Thirty plus years ago, I came back to Springfield with a simple goal to be a good doctor," says Dr. Kwedar. "Being surrounded by excellence is key, whether from gifted surgeons, expert physicians, dedicated optometrists or conscientious and hard-working staff."
Each year, a physician is selected for the A. Raymond Eveloff Award for Clinical Excellence who has gone above and beyond to ensure the health and well-being of our patients and is an active leader in both our organization and the communities we serve.
"I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Kwedar for 31 years. He has always impressed me as a physician who strives to deliver superb patient care throughout his career," says nominator Dr. Kim Krager. "On a personal note, Dr. Kwedar has always been a great mentor to me and other optometrists and ophthalmologists that have joined our department over the years. He always takes the time to give professional advice and opinion when asked."
Thank you, Dr. Kwedar!
