Michael V. Hughes, MD

Patient care is a privilege I hold sacred. As a surgeon, my patient care philosophy is centered on treating each patient like a family member. I aim to nurture a relationship founded on trust and shared decision-making so that my patients can make informed choices that are in line with their specific health care goals.

My areas of focus include medical and surgical care for conditions of the genitourinary tract in both men and women, encompassing the urethra, prostate, bladder and kidneys. I am trained in robotic and endoscopic surgical techniques to treat both cancer and benign urologic diseases, and I specialize in lower urinary tract reconstruction for urethral stricture disease.

I was raised right here in the Easton area of the Lehigh Valley. Following completion of my undergraduate studies at St. Joseph's University in 2011, I went on to earn my medical degree from Temple University, where I spent three years at Temple/St. Luke's School of Medicine, learning from outstanding St. Luke's physicians and the patients of our community. I subsequently completed my urology residency at the State University of New York (SUNY) Upstate Medical University–Syracuse, where I was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, and cultivated my my skills in both open and robotic reconstruction of the genitourinary tract.  

Following my residency, I served as an active-duty urologist in the US Navy from 2021 to 2025, becoming the Department Head of Urology at Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. There, I treated genitourinary diseases in active-duty Marines, their dependents and retirees. Having completed my military service, I am excited to return and once again serve the wonderful people of my hometown.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife and children, and playing music with our family band.
