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.

Dr. Hughes is great! It was a breath of fresh air to see a doctor who actually cares and takes the time to listen and to treat my child like a child and not another number. Just awesome!

Dr Hughes has been a amazing physician for me and my child! My child loves her and smiles every time she arrives into the exam room! She is always available and takes her time when in the room with my child I never feel rushed. Her bedside manners are impeccable and I love the fact that she offers both the natural remedies as well as the medicated. All around amazing doctor and will recommend to everyone I know
