Doctor Dudley of Goose Creek Built Block and Life Saving Legacy
Dr Nicholas L Dudley arrived in 1917 in Goose Creek and built a large city block to house his home and medical clinic. He practiced general medicine before specializing in ENT and ophthalmology and earned a reputation for tireless care and a hands on approach. Dudley once performed a pocket knife tracheotomy in a waiting area to save a choking infant and mentored others while greeting patients personally. He retired in 1938 and died in 1940 leaving a lasting medical standard in the Tri Cities.
