Dr. Dougherty is always thorough and gives the best answers she can, given that she's a GP and not a specialist. When she doesn't have the expertise, she refers me to someone who does.

Dr Dougherty had serious concerns about swelling in my left arm and hand. She immediately ordered a scan which showed blood clots near my jugular and brachial veins. I was sent to the ER at Norton and admitted after being examined in the ER. I stay overnight for observation and was released the following day. I am now on blood thinners and have a follow up appointment with my specialist. Dr. Dougherty's thoroughness and expertise saved me from what could have been a life threatening situation. She is the best primary care physician I have ever had and feel very fortunate to be in her care.
