Dr. Hudson is awesome! She is so thorough, punctual, courteous and most of all knowledgeable. She is very prompt and thorough with after visit summaries and scheduling follow up appointments. I'm so glad I have her as my GI Specialist!
It was a pleasant experience.
It seems like she does not care about my health.
Dr, Alva Hudson is an expert in her field and I highly value her knowledge and expertise.
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.
Good
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.
It was a very good appointment! The Dr. Listened and answered all my questions!!
Excellent
