Carrie Oakley Dougherty's Online Review Report Card

This is how good Dr. Dougherty is: she and I were unsure whether my insurance would cover Nurtec for migraines. Post appointment, before I got a quarter of a mile down the road, she called me to confirm my insurance will cover the Rx. How good is that?! And she was great in the appointment, as well, listening to symptoms and diagnosing accordingly. Excellent doctor!

Disappointing! Dismissive, didn't follow through on treatment she started and pretty much abandoned patient who was in a very anxious state, and rude front office. Look elsewhere

I had an appointment with Dr. Dougherty and traveled 40 mins to see her. She refused to see me because I saw another NP in her office before. She doesn’t care about people.

Dr. Dougherty is amazing. She and the Fellows at Georgetown Headache Clinic always take the time to discuss my chronic migraine and how we may change up my treatment plan to try to get a bit more pain free moments in my life. I feel heard and like someone care whether or not I get better. I trust that Dr. Dougherty and her team are on the cutting edge of migraine treatment advancements. While accessing migraine meds seemed very stressful with other doctors, the Georgetown team makes this seemless for me. This practice is in huge demand. There is only one headache specialist per every 20,000 chronic migraine patients. So grateful that they also host a Fellowship program to get more neurologists credentialed in headache medicine. Thank you, Dr. Dougherty!

I travel from Richmond, VA to McLean to see Dr. Dougherty. She is the best doctor I have ever seen and I am a nurse. She is knowledgeable and very patient. She educated me about all aspects of my medications and illnesses. I would not be the healthy person I am without her help.

Dr Dougherty has extensive knowledge of headache medicine and is up to date on the latest research and treatment. Unfortunately, her arrogance and utter lack of empathy, compassion, and courtesy negate it all. Until this doctor learns to regard her patients with kindness and respect, she will always fall short of her ambitions. Seek help elsewhere.

I have been a patient of Dr Doughtery for about 7 years. I had been to dozens of doctors for help with a medical problem and none of the other doctors had any clue what the cause might be. She was able to help me on my first visit. It was such a relief! Dr. Dougherty always takes the time to listen and figure out the best path forward for you to get you back to good health. She is a very caring doctor who is able to think outside the box to help her patients. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Doughtery was very rushed, rude and did not take time to listen to my concerns. I had waited a long time for this appointment and I was very much looking forward to seeing her. Because she does not have a caring and respectful approach toward patient care and does not discuss treatment options, I would not recommend her at all.
