It was unfortunate to hear from Dr. Hughes that I would have to consider switching to another PCM; she would no longer be willing to have me as a patient if I still choose not to receive the COVID vaccine at my three-month follow-up. As much as I respect her reason for her personal health, I don't believe that my not being vaccinated is reducing her chances of being exposed to COVID. The vaccination will only support my own body, no one else's around me. While I appreciate her greatly as a doctor, I do not plan on that being factored into whether I get the vaccination. It felt like I was being pressured the moment I told her I still hadn't received the shot.

This was my first visit and I'm thrilled with this new doctor. She was prepared, knowledgeable, and treated me as a person, not an appointment. I believe that I'm on the right path with Dr. Hughes--she inspires me to take actions for good health.

Would recommend to people with Covid shots. Would recommend to people who don't mind very high energy personalities. I will not be returning since she refuses to see people with no Covid shots.

The provider made me feel like I was her only patient. She gave me her full attention, answered all my health questions clearly, and gave me a referral for a repeat ultrasound test with a view to removing one medication, if the test result Indicated the condition has resolved. She consulted with a specialist that I had seen previously about this medical condition to review the treatment plan to make sure it was appropriate. I appreciate her thoughtful approach by consulting with other medical specialists, when necessary.

Initial visit to establish Dr Hughes as my new primary care provider. She was thorough, attentive to my needs and clear on medical recommendations. She's very straightforward on her medical suggestions, and explains "why" she provides specific advise on my healthcare. I'm glad I found her, and will not hesitate to make referrals.

This was a new patient meeting. Transferring from Legacy Salmon Creek. I thought the provider was very good except for one thing. The provider was adamant to get a Covid 19 booster. I said no. She kept at it! I let myself get talked I to it snd am not happy with myself. She also tried to talk my wife into it. All other providers just ask and let it go. I am not happy I got the shot! She is! Left a sour taste. I will see her again so she won't think it matters.

Dr. Hughes is refreshingly direct. She is also very personable. Those qualities, combined with her professional experience, I believe will make her an excellent primary care doctor for me. This was our initial meeting and it was very thorough in terms of covering my current issues as well as my history. I feel confident that I have someone reliable to go to for any situations that may arise going forward.

Provider was generally good, but somewhat rigid in her attitude toward certain psychotropic medications. She was also incorrect about the availability of a certain lab test and wanted me to research it instead of her or her staff (it's their job!). However she was empathetic and had some good recommendations.

Our provider was AWESOME! I'm not usually a person for Dr's and have tried establishing with several over the last year or so and was having a hard time. Dr. Hughes is personable, relatable and made me feel extremely comfortable, with no judgement, or inconvenience. There need to be more providers like her!!! The front desk was not so helpful. They are the face and first point of constant within any clinic setting. They seemed very inconvenienced from start of conversation. Not only with my wife and I, but other people walking in and on the phone. The base of communication skills and personable skills were low. Had I not been with my wife, I would have left. They both were abrupt and slightly rude.

My first visit with this Dr. As I am new to your system. She is pleasant, professional and thorough. Enjoyed meeting her and her assistant. Receptionist was nice but very busy. CVS/Caremark is a pain called 3 #'s finally connected to someone that either; 1st day on job, English as a 3rd language or is one of your Special Needs' required hire. Still not sure if my ordered prescriptions are being filled. 4 days for labs??? Appointment3 weeks for PT??? Appointment Over a month for dermatology??? Appointment In my opinion, your group has major staffing issues that will, undoubtedly, send me back to Kaiser. Dr. Hughes is an extremely valuable asset for your group. Do your best to keep her.
