"Dr.Hudson is awesome!! She’s been with me ever since I’ve been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Anything I need they are always there for me ! I appreciate them!"

"Dr.Hudson is very nice and she listens and answers your questions she got me on track to better my type 2 diabetes I love working with her to better myself."

"If I could give negative stars, I would. Dr. Schaffner didn’t do anything to help other than just refer me to the nutrition clinic. He was short with me and I feel like he just pushed me off to get me off his caseload."

"Dr. Lynn Hudson is great! She works with me to make sure I have/am doing everything I need for my health as a Type 1 Diabetic. I’ve also brought up different health concerns/questions, and she always listens and offers a solution. Heads up: You may have to get your lab work done at an alternate facility than the one they work directly with, depending on your insurance. When I first started coming here for my appointments (6+ years ago), I was sent to the lab in the medical arts center near EAMC to have my lab work done. I began receiving bills in the mail for over $140 because that lab was not in-network with my insurance provider. So, I had to contact my insurance provider to see which lab was in-network for me. That was a big headache at the time, but now that it’s worked out everything is fine and simple. I now get lab work done at LabCorp (no out of pocket expense!) a week before my appointment, and while I’m at my appointment I get Dr. Hudson to fill out the lab order form for LabCorp to take with me the next time I’m due for labs. If you didn’t want to hold onto the lab order form for that long, you can also go by the doctor’s office to pick up it up right before you go have lab work done. I just prefer to get it while I’m already at my appointment instead of having to take another trip there."

"If I could give them a negative star I would. I was trying for 2 years to schedule an appointment. My primary doctor contacted them to understand what they need for medical records in order to have an appointment. The office never return her call. The office did not informed me that my records were not received. Fast-forward a year later i received another referral. This time i faxed and mailed them my records just to find out that they did not received them. Next i emailed them and all this processed took about 6 months just to find out that they do not accept Tricare anymore. so if you have the patience try to schedule an appointment. I can not say anything about the doctor because i never got past the office staff which by the way always seems that you bother them when you call."
