Very thorough, attentive & caring.
Everything was great and it didn't take long at all my appointment was at 1250 and I was out of there before 2:00. I was really impressed. On the way out a gentleman prayed for me and that really touched my heart.
Dr. Hughey was very courteous & understanding regarding my shoulder. He explained in detail my MRI results. He also shared my options to resolve my painful shoulder.
