About Michael Hughes, MD, MPH

My practice is focused on the evaluation and treatment of musculoskeletal injuries and pathologies. My goal is to educate and increase my patients’ knowledge and understanding of their injury or illness as this provides them with the tools to recover faster. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and family, traveling, playing piano and flying radio-controlled planes.

The nurse and doctor each had a good bedside manner. I especially appreciated the doctor for recommending my scheduling another appointment in 2 months from the second Injection date, as my thumb got stiff and painful 2 months after my first Injection appt and I was unable to get a second appt for 2 months after that (so 4 months after my 1st injection). I lived with pain and limited hand/thumb use for 2 months. I was Impressed and appreciative that the doc listened to me. I was also very thankful to the nurse for making the appointment for me as I sat in the exam room vs my having to go back out to the front desk to do it or having to call in later to make the appt.

Dr. Hughes looked at my x-rays carefully, did a thorough exam of my hand and knee and recommended treatment. He talked to me about reasons for treatment and risks. He was very thorough, understanding and helpful.
