Healthcare"provider" not providing much care. His priorities include removing much needed medication from your list of medications. Maybe if I had better insurance there'd be a better outcome.No " V.I.P." here!

If you want to be a dollar sign go here, otherwise beware. Dr. is not interested in your health he is interested in what he can charge you for. Bad manners, and rude. He will diagnose you with progressive diseases and refuse to let you see a specialist because he can't charge you. Dr. Pugh I hope you grandmother gets treated better than you treat your own patients.

Dr. Pugh is the best of the best, the man is all doctor could be, take his time with the patient even when is busy or overloaded with patients. I been with him since he open his practice in the pensacola area and I hope man lives for another 100 years. You can find a new doctor but you will hardly find a doctor like Dr. Pugh.

Absolutely great doctor and great guy. The fact that he spends time with every patient can push appointments back quite a bit, but he does it because he cares, and it is worth the wait to know you will get that same level of attention when it is finally your turn. So no complaints in that department either, just an observation in passing.

My husband and I both see Dr. Pugh and have found him to be interested, insightful and through in finding answers to our medical problems. He shed important light on my condition that had stumped my specialist. His staff is pleasant and makes us feel very comfortable. We are glad to have him as our dr. and have referred others to him.
