Dr Hughes has been caring for me over twenty years. He keeps my PCP informed of my visits which I think helps my overall health care. Should I develop any problems in between appointments I know I can always leave a message for him and he will respond in a timely manner. I feel blessed to have a Dr such as Dr Hughes!

Dr. Hughes, in my experience is a very knowledgeable neurologist whom practices with both empathy and humor which I find extremely refreshing. I have immense trust in him and take what he says into careful consideration when contemplating my next steps in life in regards to my MS. I value his opinions and hold his medical advice in high regard, trusting he has my best interests at heart.

This office is losing control of orgaization. I have to tell Dr. Hughes each visit what the next step in my care is lately. Bloodwork is never ordered on time anymore , I had to remind him to order my anual MRI an remind him whete i was at in my transition to another medicine. The team has dropped the ball o me. I have now been without medication for 9 months because the team has not folled up in a timely manner. It makes a lot of leg work for me that i shouldnt have to do.

Overall, I'm very happy with Dr. Hughes and his PA/Nurse Practioner. Fortunately for me and, I suspect them, I have had MS (relapsing/remitting) for 27 years and am stable with my medication so, unless something drastic happens, I think all the clinicians I see for my MS are satisfied with where I am in this disease progression - as am I.
