Dr. Alka Hudson

Dr. Hudson has been recognized multiple times by Castle Connolly, receiving the honor of Top Doctor in Gastroenterology in Kansas City and being named to their Exceptional Women in Medicine list.

Dr. Hudson chose gastroenterology because it perfectly blends clinical and procedural medicine.

“One of the things I enjoy most about my work is the diversity of patients I see. Being part of my patients’ journeys—whether through preventative screenings or treating chronic diseases—allows me to make a meaningful impact in their lives and the broader community.”

Fluent in Spanish, Dr. Hudson is also the mother of two vibrant children who keep her busy outside of work.

Dr. Hudson earned her undergraduate degree from Brown University and her medical degree from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio. She completed her internal medicine residency and gastroenterology fellowship at Baylor University Medical Center. Dr. Hudson is a member of a number of professional societies, including the American College of Gastroenterology, American Gastroenterological Association and the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy.
