Dr Hugate’s care and knowledge was excellent. He was recommended to me from multiple doctors out of state as being the best and most knowledgeable in the country about Desmoid tumors. He was excellent. From him I understood the condition and treatment of my tumor, especially why surgery was not an option. He explained and compared the MRI’s that have been done on the tumor over the past year. He was thorough in his review and explanation of the MRI’s. After being a patient of Dr Hugate for a year I feel reassured that I have received the best possible care for my situation. I was blessed to have been a patient of Dr Hugate. I will miss his input and care! Thank you, Dr Hugate! Read more

Ever part of the process was explained in detail before anything was done. The surgery center experience was amazing, from check in to discharge the personal care was better than any medical experience I have ever had. The follow up care and rehab helped me achieve my personal recovery goals ahead of my expected time line. Everything went so well I had my second knee done five months later. I recommend Dr. Hugate to everyone. Read more
