Dr. Michael Hughes grew up in the St. Charles area and then moved to Columbia, MO, for 12 years for his medical training. He attended medical school and completed his residency at the University of Missouri School of Medicine. Following his residency program, he also performed a fellowship at Washington University School of Medicine. He then moved to the Metro East to work with BJC Medical Group of Illinois (formerly known as Memorial Medical Group). In his practice, Dr. Hughes tries his hardest to provide patients with information and options, so they can look things up on the Internet and make informed decisions. This allows patients to decide what is best for them. With his treatment, he hopes patients come away with a good functional outcome, and they are feeling better. More so, he wants patients to know that he and his team are in their corner and will help them out through all the bumps in the road they encounter.
