Good experience

Oct 16, 2025
I am so thankful I found her. I worked for my primary care physician for 20 years. Moved to Jefferson City and for the past seven years, have struggled with finding a good fit for myself. And that is until I found Dr. Wheat!

Our first visit was a very good experience. As seniors we needed a bit more care than younger patients, perhaps, & she did well!

Dr Hughes takes time with you and has a real concern for your needs! Her and her staff are always caring!

Sep 25, 2025
I was very nervous about a replacement for Dr. Piontek but I immediately felt comfortable and at ease with Dr. Wheat.

Sep 24, 2025
I think she’s doing a fantastic job and I hope she stays in the area! She went out of her way to contact me about an issue I was having and was able to fit me in immediately. I have previously felt like I needed to be my own advocate for my healthcare and really make sure I was getting the appropriate care from other providers in the past. I have had some bad experiences with test not being done that needed to be done and lab results being inaccurate or a provider office called and gave me the wrong results. Had I not kept calling the offices I would not have found out about some health issues that I currently have. I feel like Dr. Hughes’s office is competent and I am excited about continuing care there.

Very professional and punctual. Dr Wheat is a wonderful doctor!

Sep 22, 2025
The front office is way understaffed. Attempts to call in usually results in long periods of being on hold, or no answer at all. This is not the fault of Dr. Wheat. She responds quickly to messages sent vis Patient Portal.

I like how she handles the office, as well as her patients.
