Theresa Hughes, DPM

"Excellent prompt service. Exceeded expectations."

"I understood her plan of care but I was already doing the treatments she suggested therefore I felt it was a waste of my time because she didn't advise any other treatments and I knew there was."

"Nothing else just very pleasant."

"I thought I had a wonderful visit with her. I'm going to be, I'm changing my address to another city and I've enjoyed being her patient many years and I think she does a wonderful job with podiatry."

"Dr. Hughes is an excellent provider. She explained exactly why I have been getting skin tears and discoloration on my lower leg, linking both to a blood clot I had a few years ago. Finally I understand what is going on and how to take steps to prevent issues in the future. I feel like I am no longer flying blind."

"overall a good experience. I was a work in and was able to get in quite quickly when I got there. Everyone was good at their jobs."

"Dr Hughes was excellent. Very informative, thorough and enjoyable to be around."

"Friendly and answers questions."

"Relieved conflicting information between acute care and podiatry. Provider was through but spoke quickly and didn't give opportunity for questions. Felt a phone call could've been made instead of an office visit. If it was not broken as bad as acute implied , why were xrays and a follow up needed?"

"The provider was courteous and did give me some useful guidance about my pincer nails and adjusting the lacing on my walking shoes. However, I was disappointed with the communication during and after the visit. After the appointment, I saw plantar fasciitis listed as an encounter diagnosis in my visit notes, along with instructions to ice for heel pain, but I do not remember plantar fasciitis or those treatment recommendations being discussed during the appointment. When I sent a follow-up message asking for clarification, the response was very brief and did not directly answer whether plantar fasciitis is considered an active diagnosis for me. I would have appreciated clearer communication about all diagnoses, what they mean, and what treatment plan I should follow before discovering that information in the portal. I left feeling that the written notes were more thorough than the actual conversation, which was frustrating."

"The nurse and doctor hughes were very polote, friendly, and Extremely knowledgeable. Doctor hughes explained my Left leg problem was more likely to be nerve related (this was the first time i was told this By any physician)."

"As always, it was positive,friendly and efficient."

"Excellent caregiver.Good listener,who dispenses quality information."

"Dr. Hughes always takes excellent care of me. She is very professional and caring. She listens to me and explains everything as she works on my foot. I really appreciate her kindness and I would definitely recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much."

"I would highly recommend Dr. Hughes."

"Dr Hughes was friendly, gave clear information, and has ordered appropriate tests. She is direct, which I appreciate. I was seen on time and left with a positive opinion of the entire staff I encountered."

"She was very helpful with her information and knowledge."

"They were able to get me into see doctor within a week of me calling them"

"Heavily scripted response In personal Very knowledgeable In personanal but knowledgeable No human connection"

"very knowledgeable and informative to me on my problem I left feeling good"

"Honestly it was ok."

"The doctor seemed even more rushed than usual during this visit. I believe this doctor to be very qualified and knowledgeable but this is not the first time I felt I didn't have time to ask any questions or provide details about my concerns."

"She was professional but didn't introduce herself and made comments that I waited to long to come in and I didn't have the correct boot for my foot. She left the room after a quick visit after she said she would see me in two weeks."

"I don't appreciate being talked to like the average local "possibly made it through high school" type. Although not medical, I have a higher level of education than most of your Dubuque providers and am less than happy when I can see they're not listening."

"On time"

"Dr Hughes has excellent medical knowledge and strong people skills."

"Always friendly and helpful staff"

"Great people work there!"

"The nurse and the doctor were extremely kind and professional"

"Excellent service"

"I felt that she was in a hurry and wanted to leave the office. Every question I asked, she was slowly walking to the door. I did not feel comfortable with her."

"Dr. Hughes is fantastic. She made my daughter feel comfortable with the treatment."

"Very well done. very happy with results"

"Dr. Hughes and her staff are very professional and knowledgeable."

"This was a Diabetic foor exam with nail trim. However, it didn't seem like the foot pulses were even checked."

"I got excellent care by the Dr,Hughes, and her nurse was an excellent nurse, do caring and and she made me feel comfortable."

"I like the whole experience with her. She's very personable. She's professional and she did her job in a reasonably fast time and made me feel very comfortable. That's all I really have to say. She did explain the procedure and everything and I appreciated that, answered my questions. That's it."

"Very open and professional"

"Dr. Hughes thank you for your through diagnosis and treatment. I came to the appointment barely able to walk, and with medications prescribed I was able to walk without a walker the very next day!!!"

"Brittany and Dr. Hughes were wonderful. They were both very friendly and helpful. Such nice people."

"Dr Hughes and her staff where amazing. They listened to what I had to say and provided excellent care. They made me feel like part of the family. Thank you to all that were part of the team!!!!"

"DR. and all staff were very nice and answered all of my questions."

"Dr Huges was very professional, kind and knowledgable about my situation."

"I found the doctor aloof, somewhat arrogant."

"Listened, did the physical exam, and followed up with a scheduled MRI to gain more definitive information on what the real problem may be."

"So far so good, thanks for your concern."

"Dr Hughes was very kind and explained everything very clearly"

"Did a wonderful job trimming my toenails"

"Dr Hughes was very helpful"

"Dr. Hughes was very good and I was given excellent care."

"Dr. Hughes was very friendly and gentle."

"When I saw Dr Hughes at first she was quick, straight to the point and didn't want to listen to what I had to say at first and I had to back track and have her listen to me since I'm the patient, I wouldn't be going to someone if I wasn't feeling any pain and then she calmed down and finally listened and walked me through what I have and treatments to do for my feet, it was a successful meeting in the end but in my opinion she should improve on her bedside manner and take time to listen to her patients and not be so curt with them"

"I was told that I was finished but I had not been given the names of the two OTC items I was supposed to start using. I did not think to ask ask."

"Dr. Hughes is an awesome physician!! Very accomplished...thorough...and friendly too!! Many Many Thanks to her and the MA group. Truly I'm in the best hands in all departments!!! [REDACTED]"

"Very disappointed"

"I would have liked to have more explanation on my injury and how it is healing."

"She was very friendly and courteous"

"Thank you to Dr. Hughes. She is very professional and listens to questions and offers advise on how to handle the situation."

"Provider very rude, curt and condescending. Would not recommend to friends."

"Dr. Hughes is very professional and focused."

"Appointment was on time."

"As alwayfs, I received competent and professional service."

"Dr. Hughes was rude and disrespectful to my Mom. When she came into the room she said "What you can't get in the chair today. My back hurts and I can't bend over." I told her my Mom just got out of the hospital with pneumonia and has congestive heart failure so it was too hard for her to get out of the wheelchair today. She barely talked to my mom when she cut her four toenails. The rest of my Mom's toenails have been removed so she only has to cut four toenails. The whole appointment with the doctor was under five minutes and she said we could take the form out to the front desk and make a follow up appointment. I feel she shouldn't treat people like this especially the older population who are more vulnerable and have multiple health issues. You never know what is going on with your patients and I feel the doctor should be there to help others and not complain about themselves. If you have any questions or concerns please call me at [REDACTED]"

"Everything went excellent for the condition I'm dealing with."

"I had a really sore toe. It was hard to tell exactly where all the pain was coming from. She did an ingrown toenail on the one side, but did not look at the other side. And I fear that the other side is just as much part of the problem. So I still have the same pain, but only more so on the other side. So I was not completely, so I still have the same problem as when I was there. Thank you."

"Dr Hughes does a great job on my terrible toe nails. I feel so much better after I see her!!!"

"I didn't really know what my next steps for treatment were. There were printed instructions but the nurse didn't seem to know either."

"Good experience !"

"This woman came across as arrogant and I felt as if she was looking down on me. I was very disappointed in my visit."

"I know that Dr Hughes is extremely busy but I wish she could just take a breath and relax a little when dealing with me. She always seems to be in such a hurry and talking so fast that sometimes I don't even feel comfortable asking questions."

"Great as always. Dr. And Nurses are polite, courteous and very helpful to the Elderly."

"Dr Hughes is always professional and helpful"

"My experience was very good. Dr. Listen to my problem and was very helpful."

"I'm sorry at the start of this survey, I pushed a one and I didn't know that I should have pushed the four. So actually, it should have been fours all the way across, even the 10. Theresa Hughes and her nurses were always nice, quick, and very concerning. I greatly appreciate them."

"You have too many patients. no time for anything but business. Dr. seemed rushed and in a hurry. but was very nice Dr. Hughes that is."

"The doctor was really rude"

"My insurance permits toenail trim every 2 months. When mentioned Dr. Hughes responded that doesn't mean I can get this done this often and scheduled me for 3 months, whatever that meant. She stated that trims likely will be limited next year to 4. I am scheduled with a technician next. My wife had a trim the same day, different doc and received different info. Very inconsistent. I will be calling MA to determine what exactly is the program."

"Always look forward to my visit"

"Dr. Hughes was really rude to me and I have asked her several times that I would like to go to Iowa City because I have this bleeding ulcer on the bottom of my foot and it's not healing. It's been going on for about a year now. And so I asked her if I could go to Iowa City, if she'd refer me. First thing she said was, we don't really need a referral. You can just call them. And I said, then you can, do you wanna go down in billing and you can sit on the phone for an hour and a half and wait to talk to your insurance company?" And I said, why are you being so sarcastic? I mean, honest to Pete, of course I'm not gonna sit there for an hour. And then she said, well, I asked her if she would cut my toenails, and she said, well, does your insurance pay for cutting your toenails? Now, I have been seeing Dr. Hughes for years, and every year, she cut her every like,"

"Oh, this is [REDACTED]. My visit went very well. I got in at a really good time. I didn't take long to see the doctor. She looked it over to find out, explaining how it looked and what she would like to do next. And then when I left, I didn't have an appointment on Thursday I could make, but they were able to open an appointment up on Wednesday, which was really good because I had to drive myself. My wife doesn't trust my driving. because I had a brain tumor a while back. But anyway, they were very courteous and very accommodating. So I was very happy with the service thus far. Thank you. Bye."

"Dr Hughes friendly and thorough, she explained my sons xrays w/ the images. Appreciated Lynn at the front desk for her great personality and always having smiling face!"

"The only thing I'd like to say is I understand Dr. Hughes was very busy today at the hospital. She had a couple of things at the hospital before she saw me, and I think she had to go back. So it sounds like she had a very busy day."

"Thoroughly informed regarding diagnosis, treatment and follow up in a very efficient, yet personal manner."

"Doctor didn't know any health history prior to treatment. Said she did not get health records prior to visit. Doctor and nurse quick to get done and move on Nurse did not have name badge. Had to ask if she was a nurse. Did not observe doctor or nurse wash hands before or after procedure."

"Glad that I could get in right away."

"It was great and they got me in the same day"

"Thank you for timely and professional service."

"Dr. Hughes is great"

"I appreciated her taking the time to explain what happened. And didn't seem to be in a hurry took the time to talk to me"

"Excellent job."

"Everyone was professional and friendly!"

"Very professional staff."

"The appt. was to have a thick toenail cut off. The appointment wasn't for a couple of weeks. During that time I found a heavy duty toenail cutter. I still kept the appointment to have the doctor look at my toe and tell me what I should be doing about it and I had another toe. I wanted her to tell me why it was lavender but she explained to me why and it's not anything that needs any concern. She said I could return and have an assistant cut my toes in like three months if necessary, however now that I have the heavy duty toenail cutters, I might not need to return."

"Very personal and professional Also kind and ethical. Honest. And trust worthy"

"Lots of smiles and courteous, they all where. Medical Associates is the clinic to go to!!! I love you all."

"The provider was rushing to perform a surgery and she did not have time to chat with me or have a friendly conversation. I already had 3 surgeries and did not need one more. I was hopping to listen to other options to care for my nails, but the only thing she told me was how I should cut one nail. I really was disappointed with my visit."

"great appt. was enjoyable"
