He is caring, knowledgeable, thinks outside of the box and truly has his patient's individual needs at the core of his care. He is always approachable and has excellent communication skills.

Even when I was going through cancer and he wasn't heading up my team through surgeries he made it a point to watch over me, my care and always made me feel safe! I could go on and on about how blessed I am to have Dr. Byers as my doctor... He is VERY special!... especially in a time where health care has become impersonal and rushed. I must also complement his entire staff. From Marissa (Awesome!) all the way to reception. The entire staff has cultivated an amazing practice to be a part of a rely upon!

Even when Dr. Hughes left…read morethe practice over 4 years ago, I was heartbroken, but remained with this group for convenience to my home, despite his departure. I was very fond of him and he offered amazing patient care. My experience was not the same after he left and recently was considering changing my primary care provider. Fast forward to 2023--I learned Dr. Hughes returned to the practice, I was elated and couldn't wait to return to his care! I transferred immediately back to him as my primary care provider. It was easy to schedule appointments with him. He has the best personality, great listener and explains things thoroughly. He has a wonderful bedside manner and sense of humor. He gives honest opinions and gives you options, so you could decide whether or not to proceed. I'm overall healthy and my previous doctor had me come in at 4-5 month check-ups for I don't know why. I am glad to be in Dr. Hughes' care again! My opinion of him has not changed, even with the absence of a few years. If you are looking for a primary care provider, look no further--I highly recommend Dr. Hughes.

While the Doctor himself is personable, I would describe the staff as curt. My last interaction was the worst. I thought I would be moving out of state, so I did not pay the annual fee. After the debris flow, I postponed my move by a few months. When I called to see if he would renew my prescription anyway, I was told by a staff person, that incredulously, I hadn't been a patient for over two years! It had only been a few months. I wrote him a letter to see what he might have to say about the discrepancy, but I never received a response. My next Doctor told me I did not really need the prescription.

Our entire family received our care here for years. Paid the concierge fee of over $400 but the…read moreproblem is there is not even basic service! The previous reviews mentioning rude staff are accurate. They don't always ask for your insurance card or they're too busy to take it. So you may get a bill six months later for the visit, full cost, from their billing service. If you call the office and complain, they'll say we don't have your insurance card on file. Do they call you or does the billing department call you, like one would assume a concierge practice would do, prior to billing the insurance? No. Since the we received the bill from their billing department six months after the visit, if the billing department refiles the claim with insurance this time, the insurance will deny the claim because it was submitted too late... Not sure what the problem is, front staff or billing, but this scenario happened twice to our family in the past year. Told the office staff we were taking our business and concierge fee elsewhere. Of course the office sent a letter saying my calling to complain about the billing issue was abusive. What's abusive is the way the staff treats patients. We're already paying over $400 for concierge fees annually, plus our high monthly health insurance premiums, our deductible, your office doesn't ask for my insurance card and then bills me six months later for the full price of the visit, over $200, and they don't think the client is going to be a tad upset?
