Small but important: a brightly colored arrow that directs patients from the elevator down the long winding hall to the clinic. It is hard to find otherwise.

Verified patient
Rude doctor, appointment felt rushed. See someone else.
Professional experience, but the appointment was very rushed. I was seen by a resident and spent probably no more than five minutes with Dr. Dougherty who only prescribed a medication for about a month and advised I come back in six months for my issues. Would not recommend as was not a thorough experience and did not help with my issues.
Verified patient
Just excellent!

Small but important: a brightly colored arrow that directs patients from the elevator down the long winding hall to the clinic. It is hard to find otherwise.
Dr. Dougherty was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable, reassuring and took his time to listen and answer all my questions. Coming back from his office I had less pain simply because I was so relaxed. I have another appointment with him in Feb and I'm looking forward to it. I highly recommend this Dr. he's great!
Verified patient
He was very attentive and gave very instructions
Verified patient
The nurses where very nice and warm. The doctor explained everything I needed to know about the procedure I have to have and I felt good about that and very friendly.
Dr. Dougherty was very thorough in answering all my questions and listening to what I had to say. He was very informative and patient in explaining treatment options. I appreciated his calm demeanor.
Extremely thorough, patient and communicative. Answered all my questions. Patiently explained diagnosis possibilities and the steps that we are going to take to try to figure out my medical problem. This physician practices "patient-centered" care. I believe that that this approach in itself kick starts the patient's desire to enlist her or his own brain and body in the process of contributing to the process of healing.
