    I have a rare and unusual cancer. These new vascular issues require many considerations. Both doctors were very thoughtful and knowledgeable.

    Dr. Hughes and his assistant were both bodacious in explaining test results. Dr Hughes was very good at explaining pros and cons of treatments as well as my choices and their possible outcomes.
