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.

He’s seems to be a very good doctor and caring. The more I see him the more I like and trust him.

Impressive Doctor
Met Dr. Laugherty for the first time today and he was very thorough and after the examination, he told me all about himself, where he grew up, he was a swimmer and went to Chattanooga Baylor then on to Florida where he graduated and became a P.A. and then had the opportunity to come back home to go to UT and got his MBA. He was very upfront and impressed me with his education and my wife and I really liked him. He told me that if I needed anything, just to call anytime. We couldn’t ask for a better first visit!

Excellent rheumatologist
Mr. Laugherty is one of the best rheumatologists I’ve seen, and I used to see a doctor at UCSD. He’s personable, knowledgeable, and doesn’t rush. Only reason I can imagine lower reviews is people looking for immediate remission. Arthritis unfortunately doesn’t work that way.

There isn't words enough to speak of this kind man's intelligence. Robert is truly a gift to the medical community! I have worked side by side with him for many years, and have seen him in action. Patients are drawn to his engaging presence. He has a "shirt sleeve" relationship with all of his patients. Most providers could learn a lot from Robert. Thank you for all that you do for so many patients! God bless you!

He used to be a great Physician’s assistant until the last couple of years. He is just not interested anymore in helping anyone.

Dr. Laugherty is a great physician. He listens with the intent to help. He is detailed and takes the time to explain what your treatment plan is and why. He is helpful and patient, and understands that the patient does not always understand the medical mumbo/jumbo. His bedside manner is fantastic.
