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.

Dr. Daugherty is a great doctor and has done both of my carpal tunnel surgeries. He’s done this a few times in his life and explains everything kinda fast but if you can keep up you’ll be just fine. My whole experience with all the staff was awesome!!!

I broke my femur. I had a hairline fracture. His repair choice was to insert a rod. Unfortunately he did not take time and possibly skill to align my hips evenly..

If you need a best friend, someone to hold your hand or a psychiatrist, then go somewhere else! That being said, his manner is kind, to the point and professional. He is a highly skilled doctor with technical expertise that put me back on the road after a serious injury. I'm happy to have had him fix a very difficult and potentially debilitating injury. That is what he does and he does it well. :)

I have seen him 3 times now and all 3 times he has treated me like The Next Car in Line at the Car Wash. In and out, no explanation, no follow up, "yeah yeah, you'll be fine. Thanks". I was hoping maybe he was just having a bad day but nope..... Each time I have been there he feels the need to tell me that he knows what he is doing because he has been doing it for 20+ years......and all I was trying to do was ask a question. RUSH RUSH RUSH

I saw Dr. Daugherty in February. He was so kind and helpful to me. He and his nurse made me feel very comfortable. I was very pleased with my visit.

seems to have issues that keep him from focusing. upon returning for another follow up problems after surgery, he walked out of the exam room & told the nurse he didn't want to see me again.
