    Dr. Hughes was well-prepared to discuss the x-rays and situation of a failed bunyionectomy. He presented me with an option for a more extensive revision surgery, which I declined at the present time.

    Dr. Hughes is a doll! I appreciate his sweet and soft-spoken demeanor, as well as his knowledge of the health issues we discussed. Wish I could talk him into moving to TN with us in 2 years :-D

    The doctor did not listen just wanted to blame my injuries on diabetes which is not true. Doctor did not want tobtske the time to listen or look at the causes and nature of my injuries

    Dr. Hughes took me from being unable to walk to being completely independent again. I couldn't be happier.

    I felt the time with Dr Hughes was really rushed. I had a couple more questions I wanted to discuss but he was in and out so fast I didn't have a chance to ask them. I'm not sure if he had some sort of quota he needed to meet or if he just thought my injury was no big deal but he certainly didn't spend more than a couple of minutes with me.
