Dr. Dougherty was very knowledgeable, understanding and reassuring when I went to see him recently! He spent time with me, discussing my history and listening to my concerns! His entire staff was so nice including Andrea, the tech assistant, the office secretary and his nurse, Jessica!

After spending thousands of dollars looking for a Dr. with his experience and credentials and being told Dr. Daugherty was no longer here I found out he was here...in Santa Fe....just not at the same office!!! He was worth the search!!!

He performed a breast reduction for me, with amazingly positive results. Very good reconstruction. Would recommend it, and him.

Dr Doherty had the difficult job of reconstructing my face after an accident. He did a wonderful job and left almost no scars.
