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.

Everyone is warm and professional. Took the time to answer our questions.

I had a fall on a Tuesday morning. I saw Dr. Dougherty Thursday and had outpatient surgery the following Monday at Salt Creek Surgery Center. I had a broken fibula near my ankle and thankfully was in a boot instead of a cast. Dr. Dougherty, his team and the surgery center were all very professional and I give the highest marks possible.

My husband fell and broke his hip, at the emergency room they told us they had a surgeon who would do the surgery. I was concerned I didn’t have any information on the doctor. The ER doctor and nurse told me he was the best, and it was who they would pick to do their surgery. That was all so correct! Definitely the best surgeon, and person!

Broken Elbow Sugery
After our initial consultation with another Doctor, we were positive Dr. Dougherty was our surgeon for our son’s broken elbow. His confidence in fixing the broken elbow and direct answers were exactly what we expected in a surgeon . Dr. Dougherty and his staff delivered 100% on their promises. I would highly recommend using Dr. Dougherty for your orthopedic needs.

AMAZING!!!!! AMAZING!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!
Dr. Dougherty is not only exceptional on his surgery skills, but his bed side manners were off the charts. I sat in the hospital over a holiday weekend until I was able to meet Dr. Dougherty and he let me know how he was going to perform the surgery and explained to my family as well before I went in to the operating room. The recoup time as well as any pain was a minimal. Here I am at 10 weeks, done with therapy, and completely healed. No only is my incision seamless and can't be seen, he spent time with me review any questions I had as if I was his only patient. His staff is comforting and very pleasant. What a great office. I would definitely say he is my #1 Doctor; I can't say enough to people about him. Thank 'God' I was fortunate enough to get him.

Outstanding Experience for broken clavicle
We saw Dr. Dougherty for our 9 yo old daughter’s broken clavicle and we’re very happy we were able to get him as her doctor for this incident. From his mannerisms to his thorough explanation of the bone growth and recovery at each and every appointment was outstanding. She’s healed nicely and we’ll be sure to see him in the future for any other breaks that come about for all of our children.

Excellent work on all fronts by Dr Dougherty!
After a bad spiral leg fracture, Dr Dougherty surgically put my leg back together, explained everything clearly beforehand and along the way so that I understood the process and timeline, answered all of my questions, and the healing has been a steady progression ever since the initial surgery. It hasn’t been easy, but I felt confident I was in good hands. Great to be able to walk again with confidence. I would recommend Dr Dougherty highly to anyone.

Broken humerus bone
Dr. Doughtery performed surgery for a broken humerus (arm) bone. He is an exceptional surgeon. He is friendly, caring, and treated me with respect. Before surgery he was very thorough explaining the procedure. The surgery went extremely well. At the follow up visits, he took time to listen to my concerns and answer all my questions. I never felt rushed at an appointment. His staff is wonderful! Everyone is very friendly, informative and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Dougherty.

Dr. Dougherty removed a screw from a previous injury which was affecting my ankle joint. Removal of the screw brought immediate relief to my ankle. I was having a lot of pain daily and now I am free of pain. Dr. Dougherty is an excellent surgeon, takes time to explain things at an understandable level and listens to you.

The Best!
Dr. Dougherty took phenomenal care of our daughter after she broke her elbow. She required surgery, which is always stressful, but he made us feel so at ease with the entire process and the surgery went seamlessly. He never made us feel rushed, he answered all of our many questions, he was always on time and truly it was just a great experience all around. As our 7 year old says, “ Dr. Dougherty is the best!”
