  1. Rated 5 out of 5 stars. Review from April 21, 2026

    Dr. Hughes is a great physician and surgeon. He always has high-quality PAs and other medical staff with him. It must be the culture he nurtures to be smart AND caring. ”

  2. Rated 5 out of 5 stars. Review from April 21, 2026

    I recently celebrated my eighth year post pancreatic cancer surgery and I am doing great because of Dr Hughes and the Shands staff. ”

  3. Rated 4 out of 5 stars. Review from April 7, 2026

    Dr. Hughes is the BEST Whipple surgeon. The UF Shands after surgery care team may be lacking in proper procedures and research most likely due to the rare circumstances of the disease. I would suggest a detailed study of the after surgery care procedures at UF Shands. ”
