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.

Excellent experience
Dr. Hugh’s was professional and explained planned treatment. She took immediate action to begin recommended actions.

Excellent Pulmonologist D
I have been going to Dr Hughes for several years. She is an extremely proficient pulmonologist. She’s friendly, and is always available to her patients. And if you are sick and need an emergency appointment, you will always get in to see her.

Top quality pulmonary care
Telehealth
Dr. Hughes put me completely at ease as she ask appropriate questions about my overall health. I asked specific questions about my bi-pap and she thoroughly explained what was significant. Questions answered and I was reassured. She is a hero to our family, having diagnosed a disease process in my husband that specialists at a world-class respiratory hospital said is almost never diagnosed before a major specialty hospital receives the patient. Thanks to her early diagnosis and referral, my husband was able to totally recover without residual problems.

Out of town for extended stay & she still treated
Telehealth
Due to a serious injury I had to endure an extended stay out of town unable to go to my bill-annual visit. It’s Spring here and allergies were off the chart, then travel down into my lungs. Sweet adr Hughes made the time to give me a virtual medical visit and prescribe the fast action medicine for my immediate needs, even ordered a chest X-ray so she would actually see what was going on with my lungs. I live Dr Hughes, she is too notice, very attentive, listens and takes her time with in spite of her popularity and busy office. Thank you doctor Hughes and such an impeccable staff. I love it they get it right the first time. One call. Impressive!

Excellent
Dr Hughes was very knowledgeable and made sure I understood the previous pulmonary tests that had been a bit misunderstood. She immediately let me know what the results meant and options I had for treatment. Since I didn’t have insurance beyond Medicare, she gave me samples to get started and paperwork to get theses expensive drugs cheaper.
