I have been a patient for over 12 years and consider Dr. Dougherty and excellent doctor that listens to his patients and takes the time to explain and offer all available options to his patients. I would highly recommend him to family and friends. He always gets me in quickly if I have an urgent situation that has come up and he treats the patient as a whole and is interested in my overall health, not just what I go to see him for.

Dr Dougherty actively listens to treat the patient with a conversation, and not just treating the patient. He also seeks strategies to promote getting off medication instead of simply prescribing medication.

As a new patient, Dr. Dougherty knew I had a problem that no pill was going to cure. He quickly ordered the appropriate tests, the problem was diagnosed, and treatment started. This all happened within two days of my first appointment. Being dedicated to his profession, I truly believe, Dr. Dougherty saved my life.

We have a lot of confidence in Dr Dougherty. He listens, which is the most important thing for us. He reviews all the records to uncover anything that could have possibly been missed. You can question something and he is happy to share a detailed answer with you. (He is not offended by questions, alway very nice and helpful) He is the finest doctor we have worked with. We highly recommend Dr Dougherty.
