Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Dougherty was very patient and understanding and I was well taken care of by other related personnel.

I have often recommended Dr. Dougherty to my friends. He is so thoughtful & conscientious! Seldom if ever do you find a doctor that cares about his patients enough to call & talk to them on the telephone. He is one in a million.

A living angel!
Dr Dougherty is kind, patient and thorough. He is very empathetic and explains things so very well,And takes time to answer the smallest questions. He puts in great efforts to solve the problem I was referred to Dr Dougherty for my take down surgery (reversing a colostomy).i had too many adhesions from the prior surgery that created the colostomy surgery for the attachment to be possible The good doctor spent 9 hours trying to fix me.(clean up someone else's mess) He was not one to give up, and he kept me safe. I have healed beautifully and my follow up appointments are almost like a happy reunion. I simply could not be more satisfied!

He lied, I felt rushed. And I still haven’t heard anything back from him. Yet there’s a bill in my chart from him. He didn’t do anything to help so I don’t understand why I would be charged so much. I don’t recommend him at all. It’s a shame that you can’t even trust that you’re getting a doctors best effort nowadays.
