OUR HERITAGE
1910
Dr. Arthur “Lefty” Hudson Sr. was born in 1910 in Topeka, Kansas. He attended dental school at the University of Southern California. In 1934, he started the Hudson dental practice in Glendale, California. Dr. Hudson had five children, Dr. Skip being the oldest.
1965
Before Dr. Skip formally joined the practice in 1965, the Glendale native would come into the office after-hours to clean up, and make orthodontic retainers and appliances. Once completing his dental and orthodontic training at the University of Southern California, he joined Hudson Orthodontics to serve the area where he grew up.
2014
In 2014, Dr. Chandler joined Hudson Orthodontics. He grew up in the nearby city of La Canada, completed dental school at the University of Southern California, and completed his orthodontics residency at Loma Linda University. Similar to Dr. Hudson Sr. and Dr. Skip, serving his childhood community was always an aspiration.
2022
In 2022, Dr. Kay joined Hudson and Ho Orthodontics. She grew up in San Diego and went to UCLA for dental school. Following her completion of dental school, she continued her studies at Temple University for her residency in orthodontics. She now calls Burbank her home and is excited to serve the local community alongside Dr. Chandler.
