Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great!
De. Hudgens was able to find endometriosis in places where previous doctors had not. I have felt relief after surgery, although I am not completely free of the disease, I can already walk better and feel so much less pain than I did prior to excision. Answered all of my questions, explained exactly what would be done, and made sure that I understood everything.

Changed My Life
Dr. Hudgens literally changed my life. I’ve suffered from endometriosis since I was 12 years old, and most doctors have just pushed birth control on me. Dr. Hudgens listened and empathized, and we came up with a care plan together. I decided on a total hysterectomy, leaving only ovaries. I felt confident in my decision because he explained everything in a way I could understand. During surgery he discovered I had undiagnosed Adenomyosis as well, so hysterectomy was the right choice. He and his office checked on me several times after surgery, and he calmed me down when I was severely depressed due to continued pain during healing. He explained that it’s a major surgery and that I needed to rest!! I love that he doesn’t sugar coat the facts, but delivers them with empathy. I haven’t had any pain since my hysto and it is all thanks to Dr. Hudgens!
