Serious emergencies are rare after this surgery. However before your surgery you should know the best way to reach your doctor in an emergency. If your emergency is life threatening go to your nearest emergency room or call 911. They will begin treatment and contact the doctor for you.
The quickest way to reach Dr. Hudson is through his office number. The office is open between 9:15 am and 4:30 pm Monday through Thursday, and until 4.00 pm on Friday. A lunch break occurs during these hours, usually sometime between noon and 2.00 pm. During these hours call 505/242 0070. The office staff will call Dr. Hudson for you. Please stay by your telephone and he will either call or relay a message to you.
If the office is closed and you have a serious emergency, you can reach him by calling the same office number. You will receive a recorded message telling you the number to call to reach Dr. Hudson. Usually Dr. Hudson will answer this number but if not leave a message and he will return your call as soon as possible. Stay by the phone so he can reach you. If, within a few minutes, you do not hear from Dr. Hudson, then please call again.
Do not try to leave a message on the office telephone number. This is not an answering machine.
