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.

Compassionate.
In addition to her compassion, Dr. Dougherty is a wealth of knowledge and has provided excellent information, insight, and advice throughout my breast cancer journey.

Highly recommend Dr. Dougherty and her team!
I have CLL (chronic lymphocytic leukemia). Dr. Dougherty has successfully helped me cope with my CLL. During my recent visit we reviewed my detailed blood tests to determine my medicine (ibrutinib) is working effectively. For now I will stay the course until my next checkup.

At first I thought Dr Dougherty was some what cold. During my second appointment I was very pleased and thought she was very pleasant and under standing. Maybe during the first appointment I was uneasy and amprehensive.

Canceled my appointment the day before
I was referred to see Dr Dougherty, and Dr Dougherty alone, by another specialist I see for a very specific issue. Scheduling took weeks to get a call back and I had to message through the website twice in addition to calling.Once I had an appointment for a few weeks out I made sure to schedule my life around that time. The DAY BEFORE my appointment the office called and bumped me to a NP. They seemed annoyed when I pressed why and it turns out Dr Dougherty CHOSE to see a last minute patient and 'looked at my chart and decided an NP was fine'.No. I was referred to a specific doctor who doesn't think a new patient is worth her time and canceled the day before which in turn affected my general life. Alliance asked me to write a review of my visit which was laughable and I asked them to contact me regarding this but to no surprise they never did.Highly unprofessional all around but I will say the initial scheduler was lovely once she actually called me back.

When Dr. Daugherty learned that I chose to reschedule because i was assigned to see the nurse practitioner instead of herself, she called to ask if I was comfortable waiting a few weeks to see her or would like to come back that day. She said she could see me in about 45 minutes and spent what was probably her lunch break explaining what she thought my blood work would reveal and reassuring me that it did not look as if there is cause for immediate concern. Although this was a non-urgent appointment, I greatly appreciate her courtesy and attention.
