Very disappointed
I drove 45 minutes to go see this doctor. After going to the wrong building, which was next door, I arrived to the appointment 15 minutes late. The doctor was seeing another patient and I was asked to take a seat in the waiting room. After 20 minutes, the person at the front desk THEN informed me the doctor had decided to leave without seeing me because I had arrived late.I had to drive 45 min back home with an untreated sinus infection, having wasted a total of 2 hours on the ordeal.Why is it ok for patients to have to wait hours to see their doctor sometimes, but a doctor is unwilling to see a patient who is 10-15 min late and just sends them home without skipping a beat or considering the lengths the patient went to get there?Needless to say, I was very upset and disappointed with my experience with this doctor.

Do not go see Dr. Dougherty
I would give 0 stars if I could. Dr. Dougherty was VERY RUDE. My appointment was scheduled for 10:15AM. I was punctual & waited an hour before they called me into his office. When I explained to the doctor that I was unhappy with waiting an hour as I have a terminally ill father at home who needs 24 hour care so carving time out is difficult, Dr. Dougherty literally responded with: "Well I'm here now, so you can take my help or leave now." I've never been responded to so rudely. He tried stating that his office is so busy & that is why there was an hour wait to see him after my scheduled appointment. I honestly believe this office is unprofessional & needs better scheduling. The patient before me that signed the wait list was an hour late to her appointment & was still seen before me. You can make an appointment here & show up at any time. They'll take you at a first come/first serve basis because they do not honor appointments. Dr. Dougherty only spent 5 minutes with me & referred m

Courteous, Listens and is Accommodating.
Dr. Brian Dougherty had done adenoidectomy and the ear tube surgery for our 4 year-old son way back in 2005. He had come in highly recommended even then. Son went on a talking spree soon after that and hasn't stopped yet :-). Fast Forward 15 years, I had impacted ear wax in my Right ear and wasn't hearing and thankfully there was an appointment available the next day. For people who are used to hearing well, it kind of becomes panicky. I used Peroxide multiple times, but perhaps it was hard and made no difference. He had it suctioned out next day, after softening it with Peroxide and hearing was restored completely immediately. Two years later same issue, this time there was no appointment available and I was given one a week out for following Wednesday. I called in Thu morning expressing urgency and Abel at Front desk kindly spoke with Dr. Dougherty and he was able to squeeze me in. Wax suctioned out again, hearing was restored completely. Cant thank him enough!! Highly recommend!!!

Both my daughter and myself are patients of Dr. Dougherty. His staff is courteous and efficient. You don’t wait interminable time before seen by the doctor. The doctor answers questions in a caring way weighing your options in an unpretentious was. We both underwent surgery with successful results and recovery. We would highly recommend him.

This ENT office is run efficiently and with pleasant personnel. I was taken into the doctors office within 10 minutes of my arrival and only waited for the doctor to see me for 5 minutes. The assistant, Rudy, had a nice demeanor and was especially friendly. Dr. Dougherty answered my questions and took care of my ears and there I was, in and out of the office with a positive feeling in less than a half an hour! And that was a very happy and positive experience from start to finish !

Living with a recurring synus condition that has resulted in multiple surgeries, I have never been disappointed by the level of skill, expertise and care provided by Dr. Dougherty to address and manage the problems that arise. The results have always been great for me.
