About Us
Trusted by Physicians, Preferred by Patients.
Our Centre
Since 2001, Hughes Medical Centre has been providing surgical and medical services to Anguilla and its neighbouring islands. Our modern facility and trusted staff offer a variety of specialty healthcare services, ranging from reconstructive surgery to medical diagnostics and pharmaceuticals.
Our visiting doctors have given many patients better access to specialist healthcare without the added cost of travelling overseas. We have been able to host neurology, orthopedics, gynaecology and many other clinics in addition to our regular family practice clinics. Cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is one of our focuses, and our state-of-the-art operating theatre, recovery and overnight rooms assure our patients that they are in safe hands and can have a comfortable experience.
A core value of our practice is to offer compassionate and high quality healthcare to the community and beyond. We also have a special interest in certain cancers and hold free breast and prostate cancer clinics for a limited period in October.
