Advanced Laparoscopic Surgery

My doctor was very attentive, informative, and prompt.

OB Care

What an amazing appointment! I absolutely loved this provider. She is hands down one of the greatest provider’s I’ve seen in my pregnancy and simply across the board for any medical care. She was so knowledgeable, supportive, and attentive. She answered even my smallest questions with such detail and in a way that was easy to understand. I was so impressed by her professionalism and level of care.

Dr Hughes has a wonderful bedside manner. With his years of experience and wealth of knowledge, he shows how much he is interested in your overall health. He takes the time to listen and educate during the visit. He is a true representative and example of a generation of physicians that this up and coming generation could not hold a candle to.

Annual Well Woman Exam

Dr. Ward continues to impress and delight me as a physician. She meets all the needs I come in with and the discussion opens up so many other things for consideration. I never feel rushed and I feel like she takes time to listen to me and share what information I need as well as things I may not realize are beneficial for my health. She is one of my favorite physicians.
