Patient Reviews
Nov 05, 2024
Dr. Dougherty is a good listener and definitely did everything I needed to recover from my surgery.I have already recommended him to other people. I needed in-home therapy after my surgery and he made sure it was set up for me. It really helped my recovery and alleviated a lot of concern for me as I did not have someone to drive me to outpatient therapy right after surgery.
