About

Dr. Hughes is a pediatrician, breastfeeding medicine physician, and mom of three. She recently opened Kansas City's first pediatric direct primary care clinic! Her model is designed to remove barriers and allow families direct access to her. As a membership model, her patients get her cell phone number and can reach her 24/7. She can text, video chat, email, or see her patients the same or next day! Home visits are also an option. Her patients also have access to wholesale labs, imaging, and tests. As an IBCLC, she offers breastfeeding support as a bonus service to all her patients and is trained in both anterior and posterior tongue tie diagnosis and release. If you want accessible, affordable pediatric care, then Bloom is for you!
