    Dr. Hughes took his time to make sure he thoroughly understood what was going on with my husband. Then he offered his expert advice and treatment. He also outlined future treatments reassuring us and alleviating our fears.

    Dr. Hughes listens without judgement, questions to make sure he thoroughly understands the circumstances, and then equips the patient to remedy the situation. I always leave his office with hope.

    I have been a patient of Dr. Hughes for 16 years, having worked for him years before that. He is hands down the best doctor you will ever find. I recently started laser treatments for wrinkle removal and I am shocked! It literally melts them away and I look years younger! Highly recommend this for anyone!!! The whole office treats you like a friend, not a number. Very refreshing!

    I have been a patient of Dr Cardwell for many years. He is very knowledgeable and has always educated himself on issues I have had to deal with. His new office at The Art Of Medicine was much more relaxed and I appreciated the extra time with Dr Cardwell. The membership is very affordable. I highly recommend Dr. Cardwell and the Art Of Medicine.

    The best doctor visit I ever had. I made appointment online on Sunday for 10am Monday. I received a call Monday morning and to my surprise they were able to fit me in. When I arrived for my appointment I was the only patient. Greeted with smile from Madea and went right in to see Dr Caldwell. He sat with me took care of why I came in pretty quick. And then he spent probably 10 minutes talking about my health asking if I had any questions making suggestions I felt like he actually cared. I have to tell you never felt that way. Like I said the best experience

    Dr. Cardwell, Is the most wonderful Dr. I have ever gone too. He is very up to date on medical issues, and is always concerned with my health. I have been going to Dr. Cardwell since 1989 when I moved to Charlotte, I am paying out of my pocket just because he is such a wonderful provider. Any one would be glade to have him as their provider. He spends at least 1 hour with all his patients. This is what medicine is all about. I don't understand why insurance company's don't pay for this type of practice the expense is much better than dealing with the other provider office owned by hospitals. I would recommend this office, provider, and staff to anyone that is looking for a one on one relationship with their provider and staff.

    The staff is very helpful, friendly and kind. Dr. Hughes explained everything to me and was gentle with my first laser treatment for my Melasma. I’am so pleased I found this delightful office.

    Dr. Hughes has been my primary physician for 25 years. I have been in good hands. He is up to date with the latest health practices and my good health is a direct result. I plan to keep Dr. Hughes as my doctor for 25 more years, God willing.

    Where to begin... Dr. Hughes was my in-laws family doctor, and also my wife's doctor all her life, and from my first visit to the last it has always felt like what family doctors are like in the movies (#DocHollywood). What this means to me, simply put, is when he built this current practice, I was fed into a system of health lacking any true care. When I realized my main insurance provider and his practice could co-exist, I finally found my way back with more money in my pocket and the only family doctor I've ever met that is a true artist in his craft with impeccable bedside manner. Just set an appointment with him, he'll change everything you know about how healthcare should be delivered on a personal level.
