Nurse Practitioner
Community
Department: Community
I am a board-certified nurse practitioner who specializes in providing exceptional primary care for families. In my practice, I strongly emphasize preventive medicine to help patients lead the healthiest lives possible. I also treat acute illnesses and injuries and manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
When patients come to see me, they receive a whole-person approach that addresses their physical, mental and emotional needs. I am approachable and easy to talk to, and my patients can rely on me as a partner in their health care journey. I work with each person to develop a plan of care tailored to their goals and values.
Please note: Not all physicians schedule patients at each listed location.

Care provider was kind and thorough
Great..Wonderful visit
Always listens to the results of my visits with my other health care team. Has checked lab results before I arrive for my appointment. I have only seen this provider in the last year and I am glad that I made the change.
Cynthia was professional respectful and friendly.
Great experience
Best care
My care provider remembered my medical history
Answered all questions and was very professional.
Provider knows how to listen effectively so I felt educated and validated with her counsel.
Good
My provider ignored my concerns and forced me to get lab work
She was all over the place, like scattered brain, seemed very interested and the visit felt very rushed
The NP and the MA allowed me to recline during blood drawWhich I appreciate
Very professional, courteous and thorough
Excellent provider. Established as new patient and am thrilled with the provider choice.
Good experience was that it was all quick and efficient
She is fantastic and give all advice that I needed about my health.
She was absolutely terrible and treated me like a check list and immediately began saying I'll see you in 6 months. No actual help and absolutely zero counseling from my heath questions. I will never forget this horrible provider and will never recommend any family or friends to this careless person. She shows zero interest in her patients and it shows throughly in her presence . Her name is Cynthia Doughty. I repeat I will never forget this terrible day.
My doctor is fantastic. She has a relaxed, welcoming demeanor, which means a Lot to me. She listens and pays attention to you and she genuinely cares. She lets me know what I need to be concerned with, but just as importantly lets me know when it is something manageable that I don't have to fear. That may sound simple, but these things make ALL the difference in the world to me. I feel comfortable enough with her to ask questions and keep her updated about all aspects of my health. She is very supportive of me in my efforts with both behavioral and physical health, and she keeps me informed. She has a wonderful bedside manner, which again, means so very much to me. I drive from two hours away for her care, and I will continue to do so.
Good
My doctor was polite and professional, and I feel she truly listened to both my concerns and my answers to her questions. I appreciate her thorough routine care and how easy it is be comfortable talking to her.
Taking good care of their patients
I had never had a PCM before until now and it was so nice. We went through a whole medical history and she listened to all concerns and questions I had.
Engaging and fun
I am so pleased with this provider. This was my first visit, and I think (hope) that I have found my long-term PCP!
Cynthia listened well and was able to adjust her education and terminology based upon my education and experience in the medical field. She took my problems seriously and took the correct actions.
Good
My care provider recognized which medication was working for me from the last visit.
This was my first appointment with this provider. She made me feel very comfortable, and addressed all of me questions.
Great
All experiences have been great, well treated
She was amazing. She made me feel as if she would have spent all day with me if need be just make sure all my concerns were met.
Listened and helped me lower my A1C.
