My wife had our twins at Murray Calloway County Hospital where unfortunately Dr. Joyce Hughes was our pediatrician. My daughter weighed 3 lbs. 4 oz. and obviously needed more care than MCCH could provide for her but instead Dr. Hughes decided to feed her so much that her stomach got distended because she was too small for the feedings she had ordered. My son had RDS(respiratory distress syndrome), his lungs were not fully developed he needed surfactant to help his lungs expand but Dr. Hughes thought he would be just fine without it. Now me and my wife are currently at the NICU at Baptist Health thanks to another pediatrician at MCCH because Dr. Hughes rufused to send our children where they needed to be to get the care that they needed

I have never met such a rude doctor in my life. I took my 8 year old son in and she completely ignored him every time he talked to her. She was very rude with me as well. I would NEVER go back to her.

She does not listen to your concerns, has very poor bedside manner, and does not communicate with you about her diagnosis and looks at you like you are stupid when voicing your concerns or asking her questions.

Dr. Hughs medical staff seemed to be very caring however Dr. Hughs herself is very rude and doesn't even find out history before making a judgement. She was more concerned about minor issues rather than more serious medical issues. I would not ever take my child back to her.

I took my child to her. During the exam she was more interested in why I was in a wheelchair and asked me all kinds of questions instead of seeing about my sick child. Last time I took my child to her. Changed to Dr. Austin and was very happy!
