Theresa Hughes, DPM

"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"

"I felt like I was being talked down to because of my age. I own a business and still manage it with 29 employees. I don't know if she talks loudly, usually, but it seemed loud. I have really good hearing. There were a few other issues that I would like a call from a manager or a director. Thank you. [REDACTED]"

"Got an appointment within a day of calling. Was seen exactly as scheduled. Received great info about my condition, good explanation about what to do, what to expect, and likely timeline for improvement. Left with a written list of all recommendations. Excellent experience."

"She spent no time with us.. We told her that he had ingrown toenails. It took her all of 90 seconds to clip his big toes and go down the sides for the ingrown toenails which were not taken out... Leaving the office he says my toes are still killing me...."

"Very nice Dr."

"Very helpful information the dr gave me about my feet since I'm a diebetic ?"

"It was one of the best experiences I've had with regard to my health and visiting any clinic. Based on this visit, I would very much recommend Med Assoc"

"My experience with Dr Hughes and Podiatry has always been positive. This last visit was no exception."

"Very pleasant and courteous and went into detail"

"Doctor Hughes was great. She listened to my concerns, answered all of my questions and gave me clear instructions on how to get better."

"Wonderful people super nice great experience"

"Doctor listened to me as well as the nurse. Very prompt, in and out. I appreciated it. Thank you."

"Great provider"

"I was very happy with the Doctor and nurse. They me feel very comfortable. I would give them a Highest level for caring"

"Doctor Hughes is always professional and helpful."

"Worked me in a month earlier which I appreciated because I was having issues. Am not a current MA patient and no registration at outreach setting kind of a hassle for paperwork but manageable. Apparently don't share EHR so not sure how that works for patient continuity of care. Everything considered I would recommend this provider and outreach experience."

"Dr. Hughes was very kind and explained everything during the procedure. She is an excellent Podiatrist and truly cares about her patients. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing foot care. Her assistant Brittany was very kind as well. A great team!"

"everything was great"

"Dr. Hughes was very friendly and gentle and explained every step she performed. Her nurse was also friendly and helpful."

"Terrific"

"It was great to get a same day appointment."

"It was my first visit to this provider. The registration staff member was helpful and polite. The nurse was attentive and thorough. The doctor asked several questions and made me feel heard in my answers. It was a quick and efficient visit, but I did not feel rushed. Very good experience overall."

"Dr. Hughes is always knowledgeable and makes me feel at ease. I completely trust her."

"This was the first time I met doctor, Dr Hughes, she was really good !"

"Dr Hughes. I just don't like her bedside manner. She left me with the impression that nothing would help me."

"Dr. Hughes is always informative and courteous. She never makes me wait and sees me at the time of my appointment. I would highly recommend her to all my family and friends."

"Dr was rude"

"It is clear that the reason that I was being seen for is something that the physician is questioned about often so she was able to recite it chapter and verse."

"The doctor was running a little late on appointments due to a surgery that day that started and ran late. The receptionists was very good about telling patients of the delay. Both the nurse and doctor were apologetic. This was not necessary as they were only fifteen minutes late and the surgery was more important than my visit."

"Experienced a lapse in memory, dizziness and Podistry staff weee quick to assess & transfer me to my PCP where I received appropriate care and was able to return to Podiatry where I received the foot care my appointment had scheduled me for."

"She asked me why are you here? I don't know why you're here, I have no information on you. I guess I'll just give you my spiel. I did learn things from her "spiel" but her bedside manner was terrible! She made me feel like I was wasting her time! I've never left a Dr. appointment feeling so degraded like I did that day!"

"She does a good job. I was very pleased with her work and hope to see her again next month or two."

"All staff very friendly."

"Dr Hughes does a great job and my toe nails are really bad. I always feel so much better after I have seen her and Brittney is very helpful also"

"Always pleasant & answers my questions."

"Very pleased with all the staff."

"Very prompt and attentive"

"Very great to see former students as well as having Dr. Hughes take care of my podiatric issue. I was in and out in no time and she was very conscientious about my well being during the procedure."

"Theresa Hughes is an extremely nice person. Very efficient."

"very accommodating"

"The doctor and nurse were fantastic!!"

"I was diagnosed with something. The physical therapist said it was something totally different."

"After I finish talking to dr Hughes, my husband had additional questions and wanted to take our daughter home and see how she was doing for a couple days before putting a cast on her for 4 wks. We were told we wouldn't get care if we tried to come back in a couple days. This was very upsetting for us as her diagnosis was not definitive."

"Treated kindly and professionally"

"Just was mot the typical great care I am used to receiving with your facility. Felt like a number. Rush in rush out"

"Good information and very efficient care and service."

"Dr. Hughes was very efficient, did what she had to do, and was just very, very kind, and efficient, and she did a good job. Thank you."

"Very pleased with Dr. Hughes and staff."

"Great experience"

"Dr. Hughes is wonderful. Kind, gentle and explains things well. but she is booked up for those very reasons."

"Before my visit I got text message after 11 pm very upsetting as far as what time it was sent! Text message wanted me to go to a link and answer questions. The questions were a repeat of information they already had."

"Dr Hughes took care of me and answered my questions about the progress of my nails."

"Dr. Hughes and her staff are great. She is very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. I am so grateful for her and her staff. Thank You!"
