  • July 1, 2025

    Everything was okay

  • June 30, 2025

    The nurse is always friendly and helpful.

  • June 27, 2025

    Both Dr Hughes nurse and Dr Hughes are concerned about me as a person, and not just when I am sick, but to find out the WHY I became sick and how to fix that !!!

  • June 26, 2025

    There wasn’t an appointment available for 3 months. They asked if I’d like to be on a waiting list in the event of a cancellation. Within a day or two they called me with an option 48 hours later. I really appreciated that and find the waiting list option to be so mutually advantageous to both me and a provider that I wonder why everyone doesn’t do that!

    Follow up visit. We addressed ail items of concern and have a plan for care.
