    Since this is a new experience for me, I was very happy with how they treated me and explained everything that was going on. And I would recommend them highly to anyone that had to go through breast cancer.

    Dr. Hughes is one of the finest surgeons that I have ever had in my entire life. I appreciate everything that she did for me. She's very kind and very compassionate. And I think everyone just loves her. So continue with her job.

    I was highly impressed with Dr. Hughes and her entire staff. Not an easy diagnosis to have, but they put me at ease, they did what they needed to, they explained everything thoroughly, set up appointments. I'm very pleased. Thank you.

    Dr. Hughes is both compassionate and caring and extremely professional. She makes you feel so comfortable when talking about something as harrowing as breast cancer. She also is capable of making you feel extremely at ease, so it makes the situation even that much more bearable. Not that I would highly recommend anybody having to be in this position, but I would definitely recommend Dr. Hughes to take care of their needs. She's both intelligent and capable at the same time.

    I was very pleased with my visit with Dr. Hughes. I was a first-time patient and she addressed all my concerns and made sure I had a way to follow up with her if I had any more questions in the future. And the wait time was very minimal and I thought all of my issues were addressed. So I would definitely return if I needed her services again.

    From the first day that I saw Dr. Hughes she has made me feel comfortable and at ease with my diagnosis. She explained what needed to be done from a surgical standpoint, and after presenting all my options, she allowed me to make the decision without any regrets. My follow-up exams have been just as informative and comforting as my initial visit. I am thoroughly pleased and satisfied with having Dr. Hughes as my surgeon and as a friend.
