Hudson Orthodontics

Dr. Hudson and his staff were awesome! I’d recommend them to anyone needing this type of work. I would agree that having someone available to clean between wire changes would be even better! Just something to consider.

I was sent to Dr. Skip Hudson in 1989 after undergoing an operation to correct an overbite. Unfortunately, the surgery did not go as planned and I was left with teeth that would not close. Kind of hard to chew your food if you know what I mean… I only wish that I had met Dr. Hudson BEFORE having an operation because I am sure he could have helped me avoid it. I agree with Felicia about how wonderful you are treated and how smoothly they run their office. You really appreciate the treatment you receive there. It is wonderful to know after all these years (25 years to be exact) Dr. Hudson is still active and blessing others… I assume one of his sons or daughters is also working alongside of him now, since they are grown adults. I would recommend this orthodontist to anyone needing excellent care. My children never needed braces, so I haven’t been back in years to see him, so it’s good to know some things improve with age!

Friendly staff. Looks clean. They try hard to accommodate the day and time of appointment.

I have been visiting Dr. Hudson for many years now, first for a replacement retainer from my previous braces, and now for Invisalign. The staff is very friendly and explains everything in detail. They often remember details about previous conversations you had with them, which really makes you feel like you’re part of their orthodontic family. Dr. Hudson is also great! He seems to love his job, and is always in a great mood with his clients and staff.
Definitely recommended!

Overall not a bad orthodontist and support staff. Two stars off for 1. not having an onsite hygienist to clean my child’s teeth while wires are changed (even a small town ortho in Indiana had one) why wouldn’t a high priced LA doc? 2. We are three months past our expected finish date and it took me phoning them and asking «what’s going on» to get feedback about my child’s progress.
Sorry, you already have my money– I guess you think it’s ok to waste my time and potentially damage her teeth by having these braces on longer than necessary!
If I had realized they lacked a hygienists before we got started– I would have taken my business elsewhere.

I highly recommend Dr. Hudson with all the enthusiasm of those five stars. I went to Dr Hudson 20years ago and now my daughter is having orthodontic work done by Dr. Hudson. My dentist said he was the best and my experience says the same.

Braces suck. They are no fun for anyone. For some people, like me, the process is even more uncomfortable than others. I don’t know why. I’m no lightweight when it comes to enduring physical or mental discomfort… I’ll spare you my resume on that. But, I’m four months into this process and counting the days until it’s over.
Odd start to a five star review, eh?
Dr. Hudson and his staff have been nothing short of amazing in getting me through this process… obviously, I’m not «through» it, but you know what I mean.
They have seen me more frequently than originally planned, clearly at a greater cost to them, with no hesitation. They have squeezed me into the schedule on a couple occasions. They’ve listened to my feedback and requests and worked with me in each case.
In selecting an orthodontist I got a second opinion from another place that had come highly recommended (after my initial consultation with Hudson Ortho). The treatment protocol the second office recommended was far more aggressive and costly. And, when I asked questions in trying to understand why, I essentially got a syrupy sweet smile and a bunch of medical double-​speak… my takeaway was that the communication really was «This is above your head, you couldn’t possibly understand this complicated medical stuff.»
When I returned to Dr. Hudson’s office, to share what I had been told their response was «Listen, even if you don’t use us, don’t do jaw surgery. For your situation that would be complete overkill. We’d love to have your business and we know we can solve your problems with traditional braces, but no matter what, don’t put yourself through surgery.» No sales pressure, just a true consultation.
Dr. Hudson and his staff aren’t just technicians. To be treated with authentic care and respect while undergoing a process that is inherently no fun makes the discomfort more bearable. And, as a human being it does my heart good to know that there are businesses (really people) that bring their humanity to work and share it.

Dr Hudson’s staff provides excellent service. I’m so glad I selected them for my daughter’s braces. They’re very accommodating. My daughter had a loose wire and they saw her immediately. Their office is very efficient, clean, and everyone is very professional. I’m very pleased with them.

Dr. Hudson and his ENTIRE staff are all very nice and professional. The office is welcoming and kid friendly, which is very important to me… However, I felt, «Nickle and dimed.» There were out of pocket charges that I felt were unnecessary, and the down payment was outrageous.
I decided to shop around and found that a nearby Western Dental did orthodontics too. The Dr. and staff were equally nice and professional, and the office was welcoming and kid friendly as well. The out of pocket costs that Dr. Hudsons office charges are all INCLUDED in my contract with Western Dental, and the total for my daughter’s braces is still less. The clincher… Zero down payment. So, great service, great office atmosphere, no out of pocket costs, and $ 0 down. It’s a no brainer…

Best orthodontist ever. He’s super cool, his staff are equally as cool and the office is extra cool. They have a huge aquarium with the cutest puffer fish in it.

We were recommended to Dr. Skip Hudson by a friend whose father-​in-​law was an out-​of-​town orthodontist so would be checking the work. Needless to say, he approved of Dr. Hudson’s work. I had 3 of my kids go through braces with him and then I got retainers to get my teeth back into alignment. He and his staff are the most positive, happy office staff I know! Dr. Skip is a perfectionist so you know your teeth will be aligned as well as possible.

Dr. Hudson is a dental god among men. A dental artist if you will, who molds Quasimodo into Michelangelo’s David.
I needed braces as a kid. I had an overbite Bugs Bunny would have been proud of, a mouth crowded with teeth pointing in every which way, a gap in between my two front teeth that I could probably whistle through (if I knew how to whistle). If there was a casting call for poster-​children who needed braces, you’d find me standing in line. So, in the fourth grade, my parents found Dr. «Skip» Hudson, shuttled me to his office for four years, and I finally got my perfect smile.
Fast forward to this year: I’m starting to notice one of my canines turning slightly outward and the gap starting to emerge again — I’m freaking out. I REFUSE to have braces again! And, being the lazy person I am, I haven’t worn my retainer since high school and it no longer fits anymore. Back to Dr. Hudson’s office for a new retainer!
Upon visiting his office today, no longer a dweeby fourth grader, I actually appreciate the fact that his office runs like a well oiled machine. Over the 4+ years I’ve seen him, I’ve never waited for more than 5 minutes in his waiting room. If you have an appointment, you’ll get in at that time. If you show up 5 – 10 minutes early, chances are you’ll probably get in earlier too. If you are stuck waiting for whatever reason or need something to do during those 5 minutes, the office has a big screen TV and is thoroughly stocked with magazines galore.
Dr. Hudson and his staff are some of THE NICEST people I’ve ever met. He is one of the most genuine, good natured people I’ve met, and always has a smile on his own face when you see him. His staff, some of whom I recognize from almost decade ago, are just as nice and are always there to ask you about school or life.
Not only is everyone nice, but they’re damn good at what they do. I’d like to think I have a great smile, and it’s all due to him and his magic. Honestly, I wish I had before and after pictures because the change was amazing (and well-​needed). My parents, to this day, still say giving me braces was the best investment they ever made. (Yes, braces. Not even a degree from UCLA beats braces.)
Like I said in the beginning, Dr. Hudson is a dental god. I’d recommend him, without pause, to anyone looking to get braces or work done. I can’t imagine anyone better.
