My visit with Dr. Hughes on March 13 was about an issue I was having that concerned myself and my physician husband. I made this appointment to discuss my symptoms with her because I was concerned they were getting worse. Right before the appointment I received some devastating news about a family member And was extremely emotional, however, I still made the appointment on time. I paid my co-pay at 10:31. The appointment was at 10:30. Again, I was in a very emotional state afraid I would not be able to make the appointment that I had scheduled for so long because of the news. And it was difficult for me to drive. However, I still made it on time. When I got to see her, she was very short with me. I told her I had other symptoms to go over and she said, oh no girl, you are late, your appointment was at 10:30, you have 20 min and I have another patient at 10:50. I was already having a hard time and there was no sensitivity. Not until after our appointment was almost over, we had three minutes left and she said OK we have some time. What are your other concerns? I couldn't go over them bc I was too flustered by her response to me. Also, she had said I had not taken a certain test on November 13, which indeed I had and I told her I had, and she looked at me like I Shouldn't question her. Also, there is still a medication she was supposed to prescribe me and I still have not received it and have not seen it in my report.

Dr Hughes was amazing but rushed because of legacy's 20 minute rule. She wanted to stay and I wanted more time but it was clear that she wasn't allowed to do that under Legacy guidelines. I felt bad for both of us.
  Mar 21, 2024
As usual, Dr. Hughes and her team are on top of things.
  Mar 20, 2024
Very energetic and helpfu.

  Mar 12, 2024
Dr. Hughes is the kind of doctor patients dream of having. I have no doubt that I am under superior care.
  Mar 08, 2024
Dr. Hughes was easy to communicate with. I feel I can ask her any questions related to health & she will try to answer them for me.

You should have not let Dr miller go.
  Feb 22, 2024
Dr. HUGHES is fantastic, great personality, high degree of knowledge of my medical needs and conditions
  Feb 16, 2024
The only negative thing I would mention is that I am forced to get the most current Covid-19 vaccine in order to continue as a patient of Dr. Hughes due to her compromised immune system.
  Feb 07, 2024
1. Hughes has great communication and listening skills. Makes sure all issues are discussed. Don't feel rushed. 2. The question about communication after lab tests doesn't make sense to me. I viewed results online prior to appointment and discussed with Doctor at appointment. Nobody called prior to appointment to discuss. 3. I've never been asked about my treatment regarding sex, gender, or ethnicity. Don't really know how to respond. I was treated as a human being. Being a white, cisgender, male I could be living in a bubble.
  Feb 07, 2024
Dr held up in Provider meeting, making her 25-30 minutes late for the appointment. Dr apologized for tardiness, and explained why she was late. She had informed those at the meeting she had a patient waiting. Having to wait this length of time to see the doctor was a new experience.
  Feb 06, 2024
Dr Hughes is the BEST Primary Doctor I've had. She's the kind of Doctor that is easy to speak to, and not hesitant to suggest recommendations to better my health needs. Very attentive and thorough in her treatment methods and suggestions.
  Feb 06, 2024
My primary care physician was unavailable for this needed appointment and this doctor was willing to fit me in her schedule. This doctor did not rush and took time to ask many questions to best help me. She recommended support socks.
  Feb 02, 2024
Terrible provider. I left feeling unheard and brushed off. She saw I hadn't had most recent Covid booster and said "we'll get you that today" I told her I'm not getting it and she looked at me with judgment and disgust and said "why" rudely. After being pushy and trying to get info from me she said she won't continue to see me if I don't stay up to date on the Covid boosters. I said okay. It was obvious she was irritated. I left not only feeling like she didn't help me but I left feeling judged and discriminated against just because I didn't want the Covid booster. It's very unfortunate that she won't do her job as a doctor and provide care for all people. I will be writing a review online about her as well as filing a complaint.
  Feb 02, 2024
Love dr Hughes. Very genuine interested and fun to talk to. Very complete in answering questions and providing thoughtful suggestions for care. In the end respects your decision

New Doctor for me. Have been a patient at Westside for 50 years. Doctor Hughes was outstanding.

Fantastic!
  Jan 26, 2024
Dr. Hughes is awesome and so down to earth! She's easy to communicate with and provided excellent care. The Medical Assistant needs to introduce herself by name when caring for clients and step out into the waiting room where clearly visible when calling your name to come back to exam room. I heard my name being called but did not see the MA who was barely in the waiting room and not visible.

Always very goog
  Jan 25, 2024
This is her sister. Rexine. I doing more of this is what to mention this or not. The last time she was in she was offered & accepted flu & latest booster but was not offered RSV. A week & a half later she developed RSV & was sick for a month.
  Jan 24, 2024
Doctor told me she could no longer treat me if I did not agree to the Covid vaccination. Very shocked, I always believed doctors would help their patients regardless of different views.
  Jan 23, 2024
I felt very comfortable and very cared about during this visit. I am 78 and this was my best ever doctor/patient experience! Her clinic moved twice the previous distance and I didn't hesitate to to follow her.
  Jan 18, 2024
Excellent care
  Jan 12, 2024

My experience was very great of. Dr Hughes is comfortable compassionate and caring.
  Jan 07, 2024
I love Dr. Hughes and the entire staff at Westside Medical Internal Medicine, although I am very sorry Dr. Hughes moved from West Linn. She is everything I want in a primary care provider and I can't say enough positive things about her. I would recommend her most definitely to any one, but it's difficult to et an appointment with her. I don't believe she's taking new patients, such a shame.
  Dec 14, 2023
Dr He he's is the best doctor I've ever had. Kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. I feel so fortunate that she is my provider

All visits with Dr. Hughes are the best
  Dec 12, 2023
I followed Dr. Hughes from the West Linn Clinic. It's a long way to see her, but she's worth the drive! I really feel good about my care. Other doctors haven't been as detailed or attentive to my health needs as she is. Thanks, Dr. Hughes!
  Dec 07, 2023
Best primary care physician I have had
  Nov 28, 2023
Susanne Hughes is an excellent physician and diagnostician. Her manner of relating to her patients iis easy, sometimes humorous. She instills confidence both in her diagnosis and treatment plan.I feel most fortunate to be her patient. She is a gem.
  Nov 17, 2023
Dr. Hughes and Elizabeth are the best. Dr. Hughes is so intently involved with her patients. She really cares. I feel important to her.
  Nov 12, 2023
Dr. Hughes said that if I did not receive a Covid vaccine and a flu shot, she would NOT care for me. These vaccines are optional and I refused to take them. I didn't know that medical care was given with conditions? Is this legal? I won't be seeing her again. Is there another doctor you would recommend?Peter
  Nov 08, 2023
My Dr. Hughes is the best Dr. I have ever had.I'm 67 years old, so that should tell you a lot about her.
  Nov 08, 2023
Dr. Hughes is Excellent. My wife and I are lucky to have her as our GP. She found a heart murmur this last visit and immediately set me up for an Echo Adult Complete Study. My wife and I were very dissapointed tgatyou closed down West Linn Legacy. Weird.
  Nov 02, 2023
Dr. Hughes is wonderful - extremely compassionate and easy to talk to.
  Nov 01, 2023
It's a common practice to weigh you on each visit. They have you do this with shoes and clothes. I weighed myself before I left the weight with clothes and shoes was 4 pounds higher which is what goes in my record. I continue to find this annoying. Thanks FYI
  Nov 01, 2023
Dr Hughes is fantastic! She truly cares about me and is on my team to help me improve my health. The joy she has taking care of me comes through in every way!
