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.

Wonderful Doctor!
I love Dr. Hughes! He came highly recommended, so I brought my son to him around 2010 for allergies and ear tubes. I loved and appreciated his personality and how well he treated my son, so I decided to make him my ENT as well.I truly appreciate the fact that Dr. Hughes is kind, caring, fun, and has a great personality. He takes the time to listen and problem solve. He doesn't rush you, and he goes above and beyond to help you. I especially love the fact that he doesn't talk down to me or brush off my feelings or symptoms and 'tell me' how 'I' feel like a lot of doctors seem to do these days.I'm very picky about my doctors due to the reasons just mentioned and then some, so I'm very lucky to have Dr. Hughes on my medical team. He did a great job on my sinuses and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great doctor.

Dr Tad Hughes is the real deal!!! After chronic congestion and not being able to breathe at night he saved my life???? I HIGHLY recommend him for all you ENT needs! Had surgery with zero pain on my maxillary sinus cavity and turbinate reduction! I wish I met him years ago but so grateful for him and his practice! Great bedside manner and he does yoga!!!! Bonus!

He had a wonderful bedside manner but put me through surgery and told me after he didn't fix the problem and would need additional surgery. On top of that, Lexington Clinic billed me over a $200 "New Patient Fee" which they said every doctor's office does. (Total lie) Very Very Very unhappy with my experience and almost filed an official complaint.

Dr. Hughes is so knowledgeable, competent and has a wonderful bedside manner. He listens and explains any procedures or options. I have been going to him for the past 4 years for a vocal cord problem and he has been wonderful. I would recommend him to anyone who has a need for an ENT.
