Robert Alexander Hughes, MD

Dr. Hughes is a very good Primary Care physician. He has been my doc for quite a while. He is a very busy guy. He runs the Bulfinch Medical Group, his patients are getting older (and sicker) so he has to spend more time with them in appointments, he is getting older, he has a Nurse Practitioner or Physician's Assistant to handle some simpler matters and has a Health Educator to help out even more. I have always found the staff to be responsive and courteous. Sometimes there is a longer wait than expected but I know it's only because Dr. Hughes is bust helping somebody else out. He's not just sitting in his office with his feet up having a Coke and a smoke. Dr. Hughes has always been thorough, personable, friendly, humorous and insightful. He asks me questions and he always answers my questions. I don't think he is able to accept new patients at this time and I am certainly glad that I have had him as my doc for all these years.

Disappointed that the practice seems to have become less responsive. Longer wait for call backs or no call backs. Very frustrating. Difficulty getting prescription renewed.
