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.

I was diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer in Dec. 2002. Dr Hughes was my oncologist. He saved my life. He was very diligent, kind, and caring in my treatments. I was hospitalized with hemorrhaging in my throat from radiation. Dr Hughes was there when it happened. (Help from above, too.) Forever grateful to him & staff at Covenant.

I met Dr. Hughes when I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma. He saved my life and I am 15 years in remission. Thank you! He is very professional and caring and his staff is amazing. I highly recommend him.

He saved my life in the 80's when I worked at the Saginaw Children's Zoo. Professional but friendly and always had a ready smile and cared not only for me, but for a llama and a donkey that needed homes for the winter months. Truly a hero in my book!
