Season’s Greetings from Hughes Orthodontics

In this season given to tidings of comfort and joy, and as Dr. Hughes and his team at Hughes Orthodontics reflect on the year that was, we’d like to ask you, our anazing patients: What did you love about the holidays this year? Being with your loved ones? Getting a clean slate for 2010? Opening presents by the fireplace? All the delicious food you ate? Also, what gift did you cherish the most?

We’d love if you shared with us all the things you love about the holidays. Stay warm, and don’t forget to stay away from those sweets!

Happy New Year from the entire team at Hughes Orthodontics!

Hughes Orthodontics at the historic George Washington Mount Vernon Estate!

For our Christmas party, Dr. Hughes and team visited George Washington's Mount Vernon Estate and Gardens, where George Washington lived, now an educational tourist attraction and the most popular historic estate in America.

The team had lunch at the Mount Vernon Inn, where the servers were dressed in 17th Century-style clothes. Later, the team braved the cold and got a tour of the historic mansion. Then—as part of our tradition—he gave us a present: money to buy presents.

We love Dr. Hughes!

Stay safe and warm and Happy Holidays!

Hughes Orthodontics teams up with United Christian Ministries for annual food drive

Dr. Hughes and his team at Hughes Orthodontics loves giving back and being involved in the community. And that's precisely why we are involved in an annual food drive--that runs until December 23--that helps the less fortunate. The food collected is brought to the folks at United Christian Ministries, who then distribute food to the needy in nearby communities. We encourage everyone to bring non-perishable items by giving prizes to the one that bring in the most number of food items. This year we are giving an iPod touch!

Keep checking our blog to find out how we're involved in the Alexandria community!

Happy Wednesday! From the team at Hughes Orthodontics

Featured Patient Review for Dr. Hughes

Last week, we asked our patients, followers and "fans" what they loved most about Hughes Orthodontics. Here's one we really enjoyed. Dr. Hughes and his team love getting patient testimonials! Happy Tuesday!

"My kids and I love Dr. Hughes. He is nice to the kids and he does a great job. It's hard to describe it right now. But I wouldn't take my kids anywhere else for orthodontic care. I have tried to get other people to go there as well. Because I just believe that Dr. Hughes office is the best. I was a patient of his father from 2nd grade through 12th grade. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my kids' mouths. I had one go through there and his teeth are beautiful. I have one currently in care and we love what is happening. Thank you." ~ Melissa B.
