Dana L Dougherty, MD

She replaced my MD that I had for years. She did it with grace and integrity. She always listens and gives me her medical advice. No matter what it is, it has always done me justice, where I don’t think I need to go back. It makes me feel safer and considered that she will not just listen to your concerns and then order something that you do not need. But she will educate you on homeopathic methods, if need be. I don’t need any more physicians to pump out meds that I shouldn’t have. I’ve been going to her since Dr. Rouse retired and I will continue to go because is genuinely the best person to help anyone that she encounters!

I was lied to about a state law when it came to medication given for ADD and when I ask to see it, because I knew otherwise I was told that I needed to find another physician and no apology was given to me for the mistake/lie she had told us.

I don't know why the bad comments on here but my family has never had a bad experience with the Doctor or staff. She is the only Doctor who cared enough to listen and try to find out what my problem was. She is kind, and caring for her patients. She takes the time needed for my visits and has always had a good bed side manner....

I am quite amazed at the reviews I've read here. My experience has been totally different. The staff is very friendly and they greet me with a smile...with the exception of one...but I don't really have to deal with her except to pay my co-pay at the front window. The nurse is great..she makes me laugh everytime I'm there, often visits for me. Dr. Dougherty does her job very well. She worked with me to find meds that would regulate my blood pressure. She keeps the visit short but she always give me the opportunity to talk and ask questions. The nurse has even called to see how I was doing with new medicines. I don't know what doctor office these other people are talking about but I have never had a complaint about this doctor. That one rude receptionist/MA does not make the doctor and the entire staff rude. And as far as the bedside manners of the doctor, she does what she is supposed to do and tells you what you need to do to get better. I don't expect her to be as caring as my… Granny,I expect her to be my doctor. She is doing a great job as my family physician.

Two words - Not good. Find another doctor.

There's a wait to see Dr. Dougherty, but then, we wait to see most doctors. Dr. D., however, wants us to be in her office ten minutes early so SHE never has to wait. The worst thing about Dr. D., though is her terrible bedside manner and the rudeness of her staff. Both Dr. D. and her staff are rude to the point of being abusive. The last time I called to make an appointment there, her receptionist was so rude, I just ordered the medication I needed online. Sure, I paid $127 for a prescription that would have cost me about $20 if I could have used my insurance, but at least I didn't have to suffer through Dr. Doughterty's rude abusiveness or that of her staff. I'm going to be looking for another family doctor.

Very poor service with such rude behavior from the nurse, doctor and receptionist.
