Dr Hudson is my absolute favorite doctor. She has the best bedside manner and she always thinks outside of the box to figure out my complex medical needs. And she listens!

I almost felt like just taking her time. She asked what I wanted to do about problem rather than giving me her professional opinion.

Dr Hudson was perfect. She genuinely engaged with me about my issue, my concerns and my desire to understand what was happening and why. She thoroughly discussed the potential causes of the issue, how to investigate root causes and possible treatments. It's rare I write a good review about anything / anyone, but she is awesome.
