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.

Modern, state of the art doctoring.
Dr. Hughes is a wonderful, modern doctor: caring, efficient, ontime…and very familiar with current research. He is incredibly responsive to my questions. His assistant, Trinity, is also compassionate and nurturing. Separately, the office has a wonderful “up” vibe, making visits very pleasant. No hesitations in recommending Dr. Hughes.

I have already reviewed my thoughts on Michael and they have not changed one bit; if anything Michael is even a better doctor than when I first met him. Michael is a man of great compassion and care. He is also extremely knowledgeable on patients illnesses and problems and if unsure he refers you to specialists. Michael will spend as much time with a patient to ensure he understand the client's issues and needs. He does not rush through an appointment. Michael is one of the best doctors in PS.

Michael was well named as he is my guardian angel; he is a man of compassion, care and most of all knowledge of my health concerns. He is always in touch when the time comes for a test or a blood work up. He spends time and listens and unlike so many doctors today he is genuinely concerned when I am ill. Michael is a good reason for cloning we need more health care professionals like him.
