- Excellent doctor very kind patient Knowledgeable and he seems very thorough. He gives very good feedback.
- I had a very positive experience on my first consultation. I have developed a relatively new skin condition which my GPs had struggled to diagnose. Dr Hughes gave me a diagnosis on my first visit and some treatment which has definitely helped. I will be returning for a follow up appointment to plan what is needed going forward. We also addressed a separate issue unrelated to this which has also gone well and is being dealt with any day now. I was made to feel at ease throughout.
- I had a great experience with Dr Aaron Hughes. I visited for melasma treatment and felt listened to from the start. He was polite, patient, and took the time to understand my concerns. He explained everything clearly, ensuring I was fully informed about my condition and treatment options. I felt confident in his recommendations and appreciated his professional and caring approach. I would highly recommend Dr Hughes.
