5 /5 Kita Champion: In 2019 during a major surgery, my surgery turned into a crisis and my surgeon had to call Dr. Pugh for help. I have never met him, but from what I understand, he came in, took care of business, and saved my life. Im Thankful to God for blessing Athens, TX with Dr. Pugh and all of the people who took care of me at UT Health Hospital, and Lakeland Medical Center, in Athens, TX
