About Dr. Dougherty
Dr. Dougherty

Bio


I recieved my MD from Marshall University in WV and trained in Family Medicine at UPMC St. Margaret from 2007 - 2010.  I have  been practicing since in the Pittsburgh region.  In fall of 2017 my partner and I opened Family Matters Direct Primary Care, and see patients in Allison Park, PA.  With DPC my patients pay a monthly fee for all primary care medical services.  All office visits have no copay.  We do not bill insurance companies and thus take any patient with or without insurance.  I am available to my patients at all times via email, text and phone.  I offer same or next day sick visits.  This type of practice truly lets me practice primary care in the way it should be by directly contracting with my patients.  This keeps trust and transparency in the relationship.  I also off free in-office testing and procedures as well as home visits as needed.  I also dispense medications directly from the office at wholesale cost, often cheaper than copays.
