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.

She is absolutely the Best..

Excellent Doctor
My son has been coming to Dr. Hughes since he was 3 yrs. She is very compassionate with kids, and her diagnosis be on point. My son in now a healthy 10.5 yr old. Who still gets his yearly check ups, blood work, etc. And I will continue to see Dr. Hughes until he is aged out. I wish she was my primary care doctor. Thank You Dr. Hughes & keep up the Great work you do healing the kids in our community. Stay Blessed.

This doctor is never board certified. Patients and families should be aware. She ordered allergy tests on patients who do not have any allergies, and told parents their children were allergic to a lot of things.

Dr. Carletha is such a compassionate doctor. She took excellent care of my son who several doctors had misdiagnosed before I saw her. Get her if you can. :)

At the time my daughter seen Dr. Hughes, it was the best visit I've had dealing with a pediatrician and the Dr actually answering the questions and concerns. She was polite and patient. Very helpful and informative. They way she spoke to the children was calming and she actually helped.
