The first surgeon I saw didn’t have very good bedside manner and made me very worried. I saw Dr.Hugate and he made me feel very comfortable; after reading his qualifications I knew he was the surgeon for me. I had my surgery 3/17/26 and although I was really scared, everytime I saw Dr.Hugate he made me feel comfortable and confident that he would take care of me. I am over 2 months post op and everything looks great! I highly recommend Dr.Hugate for your orthopedic needs. Read more
