About Dr. Hudson

Dr. Hudson was born and raised in central Illinois. Both his parents are retired teachers. His father also coached and had Dr. Hudson actively involved in basketball, baseball and tennis. (That’s why he limps some days.)

Dr. Hudson came to Decatur in 1985, bringing his wife and two daughters. Hillarie graduated from SLU school of Dental Medicine in June of 2008, and is now doing an Orthodontic residency at Saint Louis University. She plans on joining the office when she graduates in December of 2010.

Heather is a teaching assistant of SIU- Carbondale she is teaching classes on public health while she works on her Phd.

The family teaching tradition is continued with Dr. Hudson as well. He has been an instructor in the orthodontic department at Saint Louis University (where he did his orthodontic training) since 1996. He also has given seminars around the nation to family dentists and orthodontists alike. Closer to home, he has been involved in discipleship classes for a number of years.

Dr. Hudson has been a lifelong student of orthodontics who is passionate about creating beautiful, functional smiles in a family-like atmosphere. His goal is to create an orthodontic office that delivers a standard of care that is matched only by the finest orthodontic offices in the world.

Outside the office, he enjoys hiking with his wife, following the careers of his daughters, playing with his granddog (Romeo), most forms of music and all things fascinating.

I consider myself one of the most blessed men in the world. I have a beautiful and loving family – both at home and at work. And I have the honor of practicing in the fascinating profession of orthodontics with some of the greatest patients anywhere.

Thank you for your interest.
