Patient Reviews
Oct 21, 2024
I agree with what another poster said--Dr. Hughes is interested in practicing medicine. He is not necessarily immediately interested in being your friend, certainly not on your first visit when he is trying to ascertain and analyze your problem(s). I found him a bit brusque on my first visit, and he performed a procedure on me that did hurt, but that's sometimes what it's like to be a patient with problems--ouch. If you tell him it hurts, he will stop and do whatever he can to give you numbing medication (or whatever else is appropriate). After more visits, I realized just how committed he was to finding and solving all of my ENT problems, which were far more extensive than what I'd been referred for. Now I think he's one of the most reliable and finest doctors I have, and I have some who are outstanding.
