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.

I think Dr Hodson, Katie & the whole staff are excellent! When you are going through difficult situations, it is comforting to know you can trust the medical team caring for you. I would highly recommend Dr Hodson

Excellent advice!!!
I do not think in all the years I have lived (octogenarian) I have been more satisfied with the quality of care of not only Dr. Hodson and Katie (her top nurse) but also the complete support staff!!! I am living proof that Dr Hodson is one, if not the top Doctor in her field. She studies her patients and knows with knowledge the path to take and works with many other professionals and her patients to select the treatment that suits the patient and type of Cancer that is identified. She also has insight to think outside the box and the contacts to search for the best specialist or surgeon possible, she gets the job done!!! I have trusted her with my life and am not disappointed!!! Dr Hodson is my choice for being the best of the best and recommend Dr Hodson with Gem State Cancer and Blood Specialists without hesitation!!!

National Doctor day. I have to say I have the most awesome doctor that ever lived. She always explains in detail if we have to change medication or treatment. She explains all my options and we decided how to go forward. If it wasn’t for Dr. Stephanie Hudson I wouldn’t be here today. She is the best and I appreciate her every day.

I encourage you to get a 2nd opinion. Not forthcoming with information regarding the percentage I would be afforded by going through chemo (2nd opinion indicated it was 5% better chance). The drug that was chosen has a side effect of hearing loss, I already have a large hearing loss. She would not entertain any other medication and did not answer questions satisfactorily.

In May 2017 I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Lung Cancer. I chose Dr. Hodson due to excellent referrals from others she had treated. She got down to business quickly; treating me with a new immunotherapy drug, - Keytruda, and simultaneously addressing other medical issues that surfaced during treatment. Dr. Hodson has done everything in her power to save me. After three years my scans are looking good and I am thankful for the efforts of Dr. Hodson and her team!

I believe I know Dr. Hodson very well having worked with her through my daughter's cancer 8 years ago and then my own cancer 4 years past. My daughter was on Medicaid and frankly you could tell the difference in how she was treated by different physicians. Not the case with Dr Hodson. She gave my daughter 110%. Explained each option in detail, answered all our questions. She is a highly skilled professional who is totally focused on defeating your cancer so she may not start each appointment with a lot of "warm fuzzys" and she gets down to business quickly, which I appreciate. My daughter remains cancer free. I was originally diagnosed Stage IV with 4 months to live. I have been cancer free for 3 years. I think that speaks for itself and I would never go to any other oncologist.

She was frank and truthful with her diagnoses and her treatment is accurate and the best available. She did not recommend radiation as the surgeon had and checking with the Seattle Cancer Center confirmed that recommendation. She spends the time to answer questions and cares. We recommend her for treatment . Good luck.

I was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma. Dr. Hodson, likes to establish a clear trajectory before commencing, and weighs the long-term effects. She truly does puts your interest above all. She is a wealth of knowledge and an ethical inspiration. Dr. Hodson is a true advocate for her patients. I am grateful. Dr Hodson saved my life!

This woman does not do a good job in explaining the options available or even being on top of the options available for treatment. On top of that, she minimizes alternative methods of care used conjointly with traditional care. She doesn't return calls. And she takes away a person's hope. I found someone else who can understand the need for hope, and the need to look at all of the options available.

I found it difficult to get a call back regarding test results, i.e. has the cancer spread? and what is the treatment plan? I was told 2 working days in a row (first was a Friday and then the following Monday) that I would be called back when clinics were complete. As of today I still have not received a call, it's been almost 2 weeks since the scan was done. I have decided to find another doctor closer to home.
