Has reputation of being "the smartest physician in Catawba County." I trust him with my life & would recommend to all I know but, to my knowledge he is not accepting new patients.

Dr. Hughes is the best. He truly cares about his patients and will go the extra mile for them. I wouldn't have any other doctor. Very intelligent doctor, but most of all he cares. That is hard to find in doctors today.
