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.

Ruined life
Dr. Hughes performed multiple surgeries on my wife. After the first one, each surgery seemed to be a corrective surgery. We were left wondering why the first surgery wasn’t enough. It felt like my wife was being experimented on.Her body quickly became disfigured. She was ashamed to be seen. The intimacy soon left our marriage.I simply wish that Dr. Hugh’s would have consulted with another professional before performing the additional surgeries that have left my wife in the shape she is today

Would Not Recommend
He is disturbing! During Covid and after a mastectomy, he inserted a breast implant that created an infection ( my body could adhere). I had a straight admission to the hospital due to the infection. On a Sunday he was called in for an emergency removal of the implant. He walked into the room without a mask (keep in mind I could not have any visitors during this time) and said I'm going to upfront with you. I am not happy to be here on a beautiful Sunday morning to perform surgery. What kind of doctor does this during covid, no family visitors, and with an emergency implant removal going on? And, he NEVER came to check on me after the surgery. I am fine. but this degrading experience still hangs in the back of my mind.

Wow! Had a bilateral mastectomy in 2014 and never thought the implants could be corrected. While Dr. Hughes pedigree of schools and training speak for themselves, it’s his ability to correct and enhance your appearance. His bed side manner, ability to be one of the best around and remain a good person to boot.

I highly recommend Dr Duncan Hughes. If your looking for the best plastic surgeon. Look no further he's the most stellar Doctor ever! He gives you his time and the most caring Doctor I ever met. If you want personal care you expect. He gives you the highest level of care. I wish all doctors care and had the knowledge this doctor has in one finger. I truly believe he changes women's lives. He listen to all my needs and my concerns. He just is the one amazing doctors. im thankful I found him,
