The practice at 1600 East Florida Avenue in central Hemet operates as a primary-care clinic with three defined specialty focuses: family medicine, geriatric medicine, and women's health. The doctor-led model means continuity with a single practitioner rather than a rotating group, and the breadth of focus signals willingness to handle complex medical histories across age groups and gender-specific care needs in one office rather than fragmenting patient charts across separate specialists. This setup suits established Hemet residents seeking a consistent primary-care relationship — families building long-term medical history with one doctor, older patients managing multiple chronic conditions, and women wanting gynecologic care integrated with general medical oversight rather than referred elsewhere. The centralized-Florida-Avenue location puts it on an existing medical-services corridor for residents already in that part of town. For patients switching primary-care doctors or new to the area, the combination of family-medicine and geriatric focus signals a practice comfortable with older populations and their complex medication profiles rather than a clinic oriented toward younger, healthier patients. Insurance acceptance and hospital affiliations would require direct contact to confirm.

Larry C. Hughes, M.D. operates a primary-care practice on West Florida Avenue in central Hemet, handling family medicine as the core focus with geriatric and sports medicine as secondary specialties. This is a solo-practitioner setup rather than a large group clinic — the kind of arrangement where a single physician manages continuity across a patient population ranging from young families through retirees, plus athletes managing injuries or conditioning. The scope spans routine preventive care, chronic disease management for older adults, and musculoskeletal issues tied to activity or aging. The practice suits patients seeking a primary-care anchor rather than walk-in urgent care — residents who want a consistent provider for annual physicals, blood pressure management, arthritis follow-up, or referral coordination. For acute infections or minor injuries needing same-day evaluation without an appointment, urgent care clinics elsewhere in Hemet are the faster option. For specialized cardiology, orthopedic surgery, or other single-organ focus, referral elsewhere follows. For the family practice model where one doctor knows your history and manages the coordination, this is the direct-call choice in central Hemet.
At first was a little weary. But she was right the n.p they are all good people that work there. Think iam going to stick with them mm
He was my PCP for several years. I liked him, his staff (Heidi especially) was always very nice and proficient.
I had went to this practice since Dr. Wayment was there. Dr. Hughes took over when he sadly passed away. I see NP Mary Ann and I love her! She tells you like it is and is easy to understand! I trust her knowledge and treatment. Always very thorough and always with a smile!
What Locals Know
Hemet's population skews older with significant Medicare enrollment; a solo practitioner offering geriatric expertise alongside family medicine and sports medicine serves patients who value long-term relationships over high-volume clinic settings. West Florida Avenue sits in central Hemet, accessible to both established residential areas and newer senior communities.
The Hemet VA Outpatient Clinic on East Latham Avenue is a Veterans Affairs facility serving eligible military veterans across the region with primary care, specialty referrals, and preventive health services. As part of the VA system, it operates under federal coverage rather than commercial insurance networks, meaning patients pay no out-of-pocket costs for in-system care regardless of income or employment status. Veterans with service-connected disabilities, retirees, and those meeting VA eligibility criteria use this clinic as their primary care home or as a referral point for specialists unavailable locally. For non-veterans or those seeking care outside the VA system, commercial clinics and hospitals elsewhere in Hemet and the surrounding valley are the alternative. The clinic fills a specific population slot — the one where eligibility and federal benefit structure determine access rather than insurance card or ability to pay.
