DirectMD
INITIAL VISIT 100 DOLLARS. HSA and FSA cards accepted. Dr Hughes is an Internal Medicine physician, practice name is DirectMD. This is a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice model. He does not bill insurance for his services. This is also a telemedicine based primary care service, a type of practice known as Virtual Primary Care (VPC).
Cash pay -
Option 1 - Dr. Hughes can see you as a one time visit for any acute issue for a 1st time fee of 100$ (full fee if no-show; 50$ cancel fee). Follow up visits are 70$ thereafter.
Option 2 - Dr Hughes can manage chronic medical illness over time (a few examples would be things like diabetes type 1 or 2, hypertension, high cholesterol, gout, asthma, allergies, arthritis, thyroid, testosterone, erectile dysfunction, hair loss medication management, HRT, birth control, anxiety/depression, etc) and this will require signing up for the membership, cost of 70 dollars per month (a subscription DPC model), as a recurring monthly payment via autopay every 30 days. Any prescription requiring ongoing management and refills would necessitate signing up for the membership. For this he will see you on a regular ongoing follow up basis as indicated for your chronic medical care, managing all refills, referrals, testing, etc. But of course you can schedule an appointment to see him any time, unlimited visits, for any acute issues or questions, with unlimited direct access to Dr Hughes' email for direct messaging (email response time from Dr Hughes and not an intermediary of no more than 3 hours on weekdays, no more than 48 hours weekends). All pharmacy issues are handled/resolved the same day, all prescription refills handled promptly and efficiently. Directly emailing Dr Hughes speeds up issue resolution immensely, incredibly quicker than most insurance-based primary care practice models. Only additional cost would be for GLP-1 weight loss meds.

I had a difficult and emotional appointment, and I truly felt like a “freak show” at times, but he handled everything with incredible patience and understanding. Even though he wasn’t able to prescribe me Adderall, he was an amazing listener, empathetic, and genuinely supportive throughout the visit. I left feeling heard, respected, and cared for — something that meant a lot during a very tough moment. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive doctor.
PS the only reason you wasn't able to prescribe me. My Adderall was because he was not registered in the state I live in. He would have if he could have but he legally could not. And I'm not saying that because he would prescribe Adderall to anyone. It's because I genuinely have a prescription and I've had it for years.

I received primary care from Doctor Hughes’ practice, DirectMD, for the past few years, and it was fantastic! In a digital age, Dr. Hughes has the foresight to meet people where they are, and offers primary care at an extremely affordable monthly rate. I never had a single issue with appointments or medication refills, despite my very frequent business travel . I only wish his practice was licensed in Colorado where I’ve recently moved. So long Dr. Hughes, wishing you all the best! 11/10 recommend, you won’t find better care!

I’ve used Dr Hughes as my primary doctor for several years. I have always had an Excellent experience. He gets to any of my medical requests immediately. He and his team send out prescriptions quickly and even on weekends if I am sick he sees me.
GGVerified patient
Dr. Hughes is a life saver. I couldn’t get in to see my primary care provider (PA) nor could I even get a message to her when I was in horrific pain and thought I was having a heart attack. I reached out to Dr. Hughes and he immediately (within half hour) saw me and correctly diagnosed me with shingles. He started treatment immediately which certainly shortened it’s course. And .. My primary care’s nurse got back to me five days later suggesting I go to the ER!! I’ll stick with Dr. Hughes. He is smart, kind, accessible, affordable, and caring - you know- like Dr’s were in the 1980’s. He’s the best!

Let me tell you about Dr hughes. My name is Angela and I had the pleasure of having Dr Hughes as my primary care physician. Great bedside manner, very kind and supremely thorough at his job. Always ask the right questions and inform me of things that I needed to know as a woman of middle age. God bless you Dr Hughes.

“My experience with Dr. Christopher Hughes, has been nothing short of amazing. He is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always takes the time to listen to my concerns. He makes everything feel easy and stress-free, and he is extremely responsive — always getting back to me right away. On top of that, he is kind, friendly, and genuinely caring. I always feel supported and in good hands with him. I highly recommend Dr. Christopher Hughes, to anyone looking for a doctor who truly goes above and beyond for their patients.” And wants to cut out all the waiting and anxiety going to the doctor may give. Thank you Dr. Christopher Hughes.
DGVerified patient
Dr. Hughes is great! I have been seeing him for the past year medically for my continued Healthcare and I haven't felt this great since could recall. As a man I put my health issues to the side for years but since knowing Dr. Hughes personally for over 7 years I decided to entrust him with my health and can't thank him enough. Efficient and easily accessible at a moments notice with no issues. Best decision I've made is years
MZVerified patient

The ability to meet electronically is incredibly convenient, and he is always quick to respond to any questions or concerns I have via email. His efficiency and accessibility have made managing my health so much easier.

Dr. Hughes is always accessible. He’s caring and he listens. I referred family and friends to him. I’m extremely happy with the services he provides.
LNVerified patient
Excellent service- Dr. Hughes is easy to communicate openly with, he’s approachable yet knowledgeable and professional. The flexible scheduling and convenience of virtual appointments without the hassle of sitting in a waiting room make Dr. Hughes’s services invaluable. I am also very appreciative of how responsive Dr. Hughes is with each and every encounter. He responds promptly, follows up appropriately, and always takes the time to answer any questions or concerns I may have.
I highly recommend Dr, Hughes and the medical services he provides!
SWVerified patient
Dr. Hughes is super friendly and the most efficient doctor I’ve had. I went from constantly trying to find new a new PCP due to nationwide shortages of PCPs, and then waiting 6-8 months before I could even get an appointment… to Dr. Hughes who responds to all concerns and emails usually within the same day. I appreciate the convenience of being able to go to any Quest Diagnostics location to get my blood work/labs done, and the results are usually posted the next day too!
JYVerified patient
What sets Dr. Hughes apart is how genuinely he listens - he never rushes through appointments and always makes sure he understands your concerns completely before moving forward.
His bedside manner is exceptional. He takes the time to explain things clearly, answers all my questions without making me feel like I'm being a bother, and shows real compassion when dealing with health issues. You can tell he truly cares about his patients' wellbeing, not just checking boxes.
Scheduling appointments is refreshingly easy - his office staff is helpful and accommodating, and I've never had trouble getting an appointment when needed. Dr.Hughes is one of a kind!
MMVerified patient
Friendly, knowledgeable, super convenient.
NKVerified patient
Dr. Hughes has been my PCP for about 4 years. He is very responsive and knowledgeable. I can’t say enough great things about him and his practice-in this world of doctor’s too busy documenting for regulatory sake, I am fortunate to have found one that ltakes the time to listen and really care.
PSVerified patient
I have been seeing Dr. Hughes for a few years now. He is very easy to speak with and his office staff is always very helpful. Anytime I have needed an appointment or to speak with him, I get immediate assistance. Seeking medical care can be difficult these days. For a reliable, convenient and professional healthcare I couldn’t recommend him more.
KMVerified patient
Excellent experience all around. Quick and easy.

Dr. Hughes is amazing! I’ve always been someone who gets very nervous when it comes to anything medical related, but he’s made the process feel smooth and not so daunting. He listens and makes me feel valued and is always super timely!
