Our Staff
Front Desk
Judy
Front Office Manager
I have worked with Dr. Hudson for over 18 years and I look forward
to many more years with the practice. I enjoy seeing our patients
walk away with beautiful smiles, but more than that, the confidence
the new smile gives them. I am married with two children and two
grandchildren.
I enjoy walking, boating and spending lots of time with my family. |
Malinda
Scheduling Coordinator
I am a lifelong resident of Decatur and am married with two children.
I have worked for Dr. Hudson since 2004 but have been affiliated
with him since 1996 as both of my children have been patients in
his office. In my spare time, I like to garden, cross-stitch and
follow my children’s activities. As a “show choir parent,”
that can keep me very involved. |

Chris
New Patient Coordinator
Hi, I am Chris. I will be the person taking care of you at
your first visit.
I have been married to my husband Bob for almost 20 years. We
have two daughters, ages 18 & 12 and a Jack Russell Terrier
names Lucy.
My pastimes are filled with sporting events during the school
year and traveling for softball in the summer. When time allows
I love to vacation in the sun & sand. I especially love to
cook and entertain for family & friends.
I have been in the orthodontic field for over 8 years.
I love my job and look forward to coming to work each day.
I am a people person and love interacting with patients of all
ages. It is extremely rewarding to be a part of creating a beautiful
smile and seeing how it can change a persons life.
I look forward to being with this group of highly motivated professionals
for a long time. I am blessed to a part of this team. |

My career in orthodontics began in 1977, and I have worked both
as a lab tech and a chairside assistant. I started with Dr. Hudson’s
team in 1993. I am married and have two children and one dog. Working
at Dr. Hudson’s is always fun and challenging. I love to envision
what my patients will look like when treatment is over. One thing
you will notice when visiting our office is the team work and fun
we have as a team. |

the people I work with. It’s great making new friends with
the patients and watching their smiles develop during treatment.

patients and the gratitude of watching them leave with a great smile
and a new sense of confidence. |
