Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The best!
Both of my children have had Dr. Hughes since their birth. They are now 18 and 17 years old and throughout all of these years Dr Hughes has been exceptional. During our visit she leaves no stone unturned and we are never rushed she has sometimes spent over an hour with my child. I wish they could keep her as their doctor for life because she is that good. If you can get Dr Hughes for your child’s pediatrician you would be extremely lucky.

Dr. Hughes has taken care of my children since they were babies (now late teens). She is compassionate, thorough and so wonderfully friendly. She listens and asks lots of questions in a way that feels like conversation. She sees plenty of children, and yet when we walk in for a physical after a year, it's like we were just talking with her. She takes lots of notes and really is just so engaging. My child adore her. She doesn't work everyday at the office we go to, so on occasion we see other doctors in the practice. Sometimes it is someone else in the office that follows up with us, but many times it is Dr. Hughes herself that calls to make sure all is well. One thing to note, because she is so thorough, appointments later in the day may run late. I know she is doing her best with all the other children and parents, so it has never bothered me, I make sure to put extra time in our calendar. Even when running late, she will not cut your appointment short, you get the same dedication
