Fairview Dermatology has the best dermatologist and staff that my husband and I have ever worked with. From day one Dr. Hudson has always made sure to spend quality time with us, never rushing, answering any and all of our questions, making us feel very comfortable and well informed at each visit. His staff is also very supportive, knowledgeable, and understanding whenever we have needed assistance.Dr. Hudson loves what he does, and it shows the minute he walks in the room. I very highly recommend Fairview Dermatology.

Dr. Hudson is one of the best, most kind doctors I have ever met! He explains things incredibly well, extremely knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. My wife and I traveled 3 hours to see him and he really took care of us and made us feel like we were the only patients he had to see that day with the amount of time he spent with us! There isn't a better doctor in DFW than Dr. Hudson.
