In my opinion, Mr Hughes is a professional, experienced, caring, affable and meticulous consultant.
Dr Johnathan Hughes was very respectful and friendly during the whole time, i was scared but with his guidance and support i got through it all. I appreciate your help. Definitely recommend
It is surgeons like Mr Hughes who restore your faith in the NHS, despite the negative criticism it so often receives. I was fortunate enough to be referred to him at UCLH for a swallowing problem and from the initial consultation to the subsequent surgery he was polite, professional, reassuring and always willing to take time to explain the operating procedure and what to expect before and after the surgery. Thanks also to his team who made my overnight stay at UCLH far less traumatic and worrying than it might have been. Problem solved, Mr. Hughes, and thanks to you my life has returned to normal.
1. I was seen quickly after I was referred me to Mr Hughes and reassured that surgery was likely to lead to a good outcome; 2. I very much appreciated Mr Hughes's calm, focused, respectful manner throughout all of our patient contact; 3. Mr Hughes came to see me just before surgery after one of his senior surgeons made sure I was ready for surgery who also showed much empathy and respect and asked if I had any further questions; 4. I was seen by the senior surgeon as I emerged from the anesthetic in recovery who called my husband to reassure him that the surgical procedure has gone well, the early evening after surgery and the following morning - I assume that this is standard protocol set by Mr Hughes for his team; 5. I was very glad that I chose UCLH for this surgery and feel blessed that I was referred to Mr Hughes's Team who were all very professional. I did not experience any pain after surgery. Just a little discomfort for a few days. 6. The anesthetist got it spot on and no ill effects; 7. All of the nurses were professional, very kind and caring - could manage any unnecessary noise at night a bit better to enable patients to get that crucial sleep to aid healing and recuperation.
One of the very best - an excellent appointment by Cleveland. Make sure you keep him !!!

Profile
Consultant Ear, Nose and Throat / Head and Neck / Thyroid Surgeon
Jonathan Hughes graduated from the University of Bristol Medical School in 2000. He received training in Plastic Surgery, Neurosurgery and General Surgery prior to starting Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT) training in London. His higher surgical training included placements at recognised centres of excellence, including The Royal National Throat, Nose and Ear, Imperial College, University College, and St Bartholomew's Hospitals.
During his ENT training, Jonathan was awarded the Royal College of Surgeons of England Research Fellowship to undertake basic science research into viral gene therapy for the treatment of cancer. This research was conducted at the Barts Cancer Institute, London and culminated in the award of PhD in 2013.
Following ENT training and research, he completed two Royal College of Surgeons of England accredited fellowships forming the basis for his super-specialist interests. The Imperial College Head and Neck Fellowship focused on management of benign and malignant tumours of the head and neck. The North Thames Laryngology Fellowship was based at the National Centre for Airway Reconstruction at Charing Cross Hospital and focused on the management of voice, airway and swallowing disorders.
In 2014, Jonathan completed a travelling fellowship to two international centres of excellence in the USA. Memorial Sloan-Kettering is the top cancer hospital in the USA and Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania is a pioneering centre for the use of robotic technology in head and neck surgery. During this time he learnt the very latest minimally-invasive techniques used by world leaders in the field.
Following a Consultant appointment at Oxford University Hospitals, he was appointed as a Consultant ENT / Head and Neck Surgeon at University College London Hospitals and Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trusts in 2015.
