Mr Michael Hughes

It was a joy to meet Mr Hughes again a very pleasant lovely man so very honest with explaining everything and easy to understand,very approachable with a smile and made me feel very comfortable,so very grateful for all that you do really appreciated.

Every time we spoke to Mr Hughes we found him to be pleasant and easy to talk to. He explained everything fully and drew illustrative diagrams so we were under no illusions that it was a simple surgery. The risks were also explained, which was frightening, but for informed consent it has to be done. Mr Hughes was forthright, kept it simple and was kind in his delivery. From the first clinic appointment, through the surgery and the follow-up his manner was consistent. We have no complaints about him at all. With regard to his team, the nurses we met at the clinic were excellent and very helpful as were the nurses in the wards. We thank them all.

I felt quite apprehensive before my initial consultation, but Mr Hughes immediately put me at ease. He took the time to explain the process thoroughly and discuss all the options available to me, ensuring I had the information needed to make an informed decision. Mr Hughes was also readily available to answer any questions I had before the surgery, which I found extremely reassuring. On the day of the procedure, he once again took the time to explain everything clearly, making sure I was comfortable and fully understood what was going to happen. Following the surgery, he contacted me to check on my recovery, confirm that everything had gone as expected, and see how I was feeling. Overall, I had a very positive experience thanks to the professionalism, care, and support provided by Mr Hughes. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering treatment.

Dr Hughes manner and chat was excellent and his explanations were easy to understand before and after my operation were excellent

I was super happy that Mr Michael Hughes was the surgeon for my six hour operation, for which I am recovering from.

Dr Hughes was very personable, professional and polite. He came and explained the procedure, and reassured me once more about the process. He clarified anything myself or my husband had concerns about.

Overall it was fine. Post-procedure I had some doubts of it's success but these were cleared up in the subsequent consultation.

I recently underwent surgery at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary under the care of Mr Hughes, and I couldn't be more grateful for the outcome. From my initial consultation right through to my post-operative discharge, the standard of care was exceptional. Mr Hughes took the time to explain the procedure clearly, answered all of my questions, and put me completely at ease before going into theatre. The operation itself was a complete success, and my recovery has gone smoothly thanks to the clear post-operative guidance and support provided. I also want to extend my sincere thanks to the nursing staff and ward team at the Royal Infirmary for their kindness, attentiveness, and professionalism throughout my stay.

Michael was very welcoming at our first meeting. I had been referred from Aberdeen and Michael was well informed about my case. However, he went over my history in great detail before moving on to discuss my options and what concerns I had. His summary of my position made decision-making very easy. The operation is a major undertaking with significant risks, but the clarity of his explanation made it easy to offset the risks of doing nothing. The operation went ahead and the support I received from him and his team was excellent. That extended to my family which was a great help for them. My recovery went as described, including one of the anticipated complications which was dealt with very well. The follow-up support was provided in my home town, but the communication between my local consultant and Mr Hughes meant everything turned out for the best.
