Julie is a delight to have as my PCP. She makes me feel as though I am the only patient she sees — which I know is far from the truth!

She explained everything very well before beginning any processes, she is very enthusiastic about her work, and she was very thorough in my care

Dr. Wheat takes time to listen, she looks at rhe bigger picture instead of treating symptoms she tries to get to the root cause. I feel lile she understands me and takes time to talk about things.

I chose Dr. Hughes because of her specialty and found that she is an outstanding person in terms of compassionate care, human consideration, and active listening and understanding of my needs, preferences, and fears. Her enthusiasm for her profession is refreshing and gives me a lot of confidence in her ability to take care of my medical needs

I won't recommend her because then it will be harder for me to get an appointment! ;-)

I appreciated her pleasant demeanor, her taking the time to explain things both related to health as well as to things such as the Medicare check list. She was also affirming of my present health, which as a 76 year old was great. Thank you and SSM for finding her and the rest of the staff that is a support to her.

Dr Younker is amazing!
Jun 10, 2026
She is so nice and thorough. I am so glad she is now my doctor. I also loved how she asked "do you have any other questions for me". I never felt rushed. She is awesome. She took normal bloodwork in the morning and by the end of the day, she, herself, sent me a detailed message on the patient portal...wow, very impressive.

Very competent Physician. We are extremely fortunate to have providers like her in our community.
Jun 9, 2026
Dr Wheat listened to my concerns, then asked additional questions before presenting me with options for my care. I do regret that I did not ask for her opinion. She was very neutral when presenting options, which I appreciated, but it would have benefited me more had I asked for her recommendations k owing that she had treated others in situations similar to mine.
Jun 8, 2026
Dr. Wheat is professional and courteous; she does keep a distance so to speak, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable opening up, but I understand.
Jun 6, 2026
I am having some complicated issues with pain, mobility and autoimmune disorder. She listened and came up with a good plan.I appreciate her so much!
