Care Philosophy: Dr. Hughes thinks informed, shared-decision making with patients is crucial in a surgical practice. For some patients, surgery may not be the best option or an option at all, and Dr. Hughes believes knowing when not to operate is just as important as knowing when to operate. When surgery is an option, surgical indications, goals, risks and benefits should be clear, as well as if there is a low, intermediate, or high probability that an operation will improve a patient's problem and fulfill his or her expectations.

Care Philosophy: Hello humankindness.It's more than a tagline. Humankindness is one of the many things we all have in common. It's the good within us. The power that connects us. And at CommonSpirit Health, we fuse it into heartfelt healing, inspired innovation, and mindful medicine. It's in how we provide treatment and the way we treat patients. Our communities need caring, and our families need support. CommonSpirit Health is committed to building healthy communities by advocating for those who are poor and vulnerable, and innovating how and where healing can happen. Because the way care is provided is often as meaningful as the care itself.

Care Philosophy: I believe in optimizing patients' wellness and future performancethis is achieved through advanced surgical techniques and technology as well as presurgical and postoperative protocols.
