Dr. Thomas Hughes, MD

Dr. Hughes is a very knowledgeable doctor and cares about his patients.

Dr. Hughes is very compassionate, knowledgeable and professional physician I have ever known. He is very honest and direct. He will answer your questions in terms that you can understand. He is also very kind. I appreciate Dr. Himmelstein for referring me to Dr. Hughes because I have seen a great improvement. I would definitely refer him to others.

Dedicated and is very interested in his patients well being. He has helped me over 25 plus years to get my diabetes under control. I have been a Type I diabetic for 62 years and have seen many endocrinologists but believe Dr. Hughes is the best. He uses his extensive experience with Type I diabetics to further their life and make diabetes easier to manage. To some people he may come across as not listening but he is methodical and those that stay with him realize he is doing his best to transform the deadly diabetic life into one that is as close to normal as possible. He does believe in vitamins and uses them with insulin to treat the whole individual's life. I've been to many endocrinologists but have never been given the doctor's personal cell number to call if I have trouble. He always answers my calls and listens intently to my particular problem and advises me how to handle (and I have always been given specific steps to circumvent additional errors.)

I had the same experience as the reviewer from Southaven, except I didn't go back for a 2nd visit. I was having many symptoms of hypothyroidism, which he ascribed totally to weight gain, so he put me on a TON of medicines which made me feel even worse. His demeanor is very condescending. He trusts *too much* in drugs & he will only treat the numbers on your bloodwork. Don't expect him to treat your symptoms at all.

I’m beyond Blessed to have found Dr Hughes. He was highly recommended by my rheumatologist. My first visit, he went over all of my health issues thoroughly. Not only am I a diabetic that takes insulin daily, I also have different types of kidneys diseases, among many other things. Unlike my previous endocrinologist, he listened and considered my other illnesses & medications before making his diagnosis & changes. In just one month I could tell a difference in how I felt. He’s such a caring Dr!

Horrible. Very condescending and wouldn’t listen to anything I said. After two visits I still haven’t been able to tell him all of my symptoms because he will not take the time to listen. I have all of the symptoms of hypothyroidism and when I expressed concern about my unexplained weight gain, he prescribes a diabetes medication that causes WEIGHT GAIN! When I gained 7 pounds in a month on it; he refused to prescribe something else and wants to up the dosage of this medication. Awful!

Dr. Hughes, is excellent. My family sees him. He is very thoughtful and makes sure your have asked all of your questions. He makes sure you are completely well.

(type 2 diabetic) I feel that I discovered Dr. Hughes none too soon. Blood sugar was in the a1c of 8 and higher. I was using large doses of insulin. Average 45 units during the day and 88 units of lantus long lasting at bed time. Now I'm progressing to the lower side of a1c of 7. Daytime dosage is only occationally (once or twice a week) of only 3 units in the daylight hours. My nightime has been reduced to 40 percent.

Dr. Hughes is simply the most straightforward, communicative medical pros I have ever dealt with. He has proven to be significant part of my healthy life.
