Masks will still be required in our office regardless of vaccine status and we continue to ask patients to wait outside the office until we escort you in. We appreciate your support as we remain compliant with OSHA , CDC and federal guidelines.

We are so excited about Dr. Kaur because she holds the same preventative values that Dr. Hudson and Dr. Vivona share. Furthermore, she is incredibly gentle and carefully explains procedures and advice to patients.
Dr. Kaur and her husband are also enjoying being parents for the first time. They welcomed a precious baby girl in 2020 and so it is fitting that as Dr. Hudson begins her maternity leave, Dr. Kaur is jumping back in!
