Front Desk

Judy - Dr. J. Michael Hudson - Decatur, IllinoisJudy
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 - Dr. J. Michael Hudson - Decatur, IllinoisMalinda
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.
