Neurosurgery One’s John Hudson, M.D., has been named a 5280 magazine 2019 Top Doc. Each year the magazine surveys area physicians and asks them who they would trust to treat their loved ones. Dr. Hudson was one of only four neurosurgeons to be named this year.
Committed to delivering the best outcomes for his patients, Dr. Hudson always explores relieving pain and restoring function using conservative, nonoperative treatments first. When surgery is necessary, he uses the least invasive techniques to keep pain, bleeding and the risk of infection low.
“I am committed to partnering with referring physicians to deliver the best outcome for each patient, whether or not that includes surgery,” Dr. Hudson says. “I only recommend treatment plans to patients that I would be comfortable recommending to my own family members.”
