Dr. Hudson is one of the few providers today that treats her patients like family. She comes in, asks you how you are doing and does a great job at making you feel cared for. Highly recommend

Dr. Hudson actually listened to my explanations of my history. She did not display any prejudicial personal feelings. She was serious, but showed great interest in trying to understand me.

This Dr has no compassion for those with serious pain conditions. I saw her for over 6 months. I had a very serious nerve injury in my leg and I tried all her injections and meds that had nothing to do with pain relief and after 6 months I asked for opiate pain meds she would only give me a very small amount and told me that was the last time she would give them to me. She knew I was in horrible pain but didn't care. After finding a good Dr I found out that I suffer from CRPS a debilitating nerve disorder. She is in perfect health and can not relate with patients that are in pain and are not as fortunate as she is health wise. Maybe some day she will know what it is to have real horrible pain that you cannot escape and she will have to live it and suffer with it.

I first saw Dr. Hudson Nov. 2011. I have several visits to the E.R.with accute diarrhea. She suggested I have a CT scan of my abdomen to see if there was something there causing my problem. The CT scan showed a tumor on my left kidney. She saved my life. The tumor was cancer!
