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.

Only Had One Appointment. Impressive.
Honesty and knowledge.

Highly Recommend
Dr Hughes is a highly skilled physician and surgeon. My colonoscopy results lead to a colonoscopy with excellent communication, explaining the procedure and outcomes, & insurance pre-authorizations. Everything went as explained and planned including outcome timelines and insurance billing’s. Was also pleasantly surprised at the speed of my recovery and less than anticipated post-op discomfort. Dr Hughes and his staff are outstanding, highly recommend.

Got a surgery that should have simply been to remove a tumor but have had nothing but pain and suffering since i woke from anastesia from dealing with this guy, he had a horrible bedside manner and didn't listen to a word i said when i insisted i couldn't feel my own leg! I do not reccomend him at all i do not even reccomend you send a rat his way he'll probably permanently damage it's leg too. DO NOT GO TO THIS SURGEON! I even gave him an opportunity to fix his obvious mess since he caused me cauda equina through his negligence and he didn't even want to do that! insanity!! for the love of god spare yourself.

Awful!! Drove 4 hours from okc and had this appointment booked for months. Paid over $ 200 at the appt to get a cream and told that my physician back home and the emergency room were both incorrect and treated the wrong thing. it was a reoccurring problem for 8years but he said he didn’t see it, AS WELL AS saying he was “unable to check”. He was referred by another physician and proceeded to act like he’d never heard of them! He became rude and unprofessional after I doubted him and brought my Medical business out of the patient room we were in, to in front of his staff asking 4-6 staff about the referring physician and embarrassed the hell out of me because the other physician and him don’t work on the same issue, they were just going to correct it all at once. Left to see the referring physician and they were appalled at him acting clueless and bringing this up in front of staff. They no longer refer to him. I would not recommend anyone waste their time on such an unprofessional.

Booking an appointment is easy, with several site and time options. Great office staff, convenient location. Dr. Hughes takes time to talk about your issues, treatment plans, and outcomes. Really great bedside manner, and talented doctor.

In October of 2019 I was admitted to the hospital for an emergency Diverticulitis abscess procedure. I met several doctor's during my stay, and all were caring and took really good care of me. The primary colorectal doctor assigned to me was Dr. Hughes. He is truly the best! Dr. Hughes took time to explain details about my condition, and walked me through the surgical process. He worked directly with my surgeon. The best part of my one week hospital stay were the daily visits by Dr. Hughes. He always made me feel like I was in good hands. I have gone for one follow up visit in his Dallas office since my hospital stay, and I was extremely satisfied with the entire office staff. Everyone is so nice and caring. I have a couple more hurdles ahead in my wellness journey, but in Dr. Hughes hands, I feel assured that I am receiving the best care.

Very informative and explained problems and resolutions in a way you could understand. He did a great job helping solve my GI problems and on top of that discovered another potential life-threatening issue that I was not aware of. I am very grateful to Dr. Hughes and his staff for assisting me in my care. Many thanks and God bless you all.

Let me start by saying Dr. Hughes is a very friendly doctor and made me feel at ease. I have seen Dr. Hughes at both of his locations, but I do prefer his Carrollton location. His nurse and receptionist at that office are much more friendly than the other location. If you are needing a doctor in his specialist I highly recommend him.

Trust is the word that comes to mind when I think of how Dr. Hughes worked to heal my condition. I'll spare you the details but my condition was complicated. Here I am today, 1 year to the day, three surgeries later, healed. I recommend Dr. Hughes because of his skill, his ability to adapt to things as they changed, and made very complicated decisions along the way. The end result...healed. So trusting was the key for me and he is one you can trust. I guarantee it!

Dr. Hughes is very professional and does a wonderful job at making his clients feel at ease and thoroughly explaining procedures. His front office staff at Woodhill is so kind and personable you can tell that they aim to make your visit as positive as possible and truly care about their patients. The nursing staff is sometimes a hit or a miss. At my last visit there was a nurse with long black hair that was particularly rude however, the rest of the staff was perfectly pleasant.
