Description
Dr. Matthew Dougherty is a vascular surgeon at Penn Medicine, treating conditions like aneurysms, carotid artery blockages, peripheral artery disease, varicose veins, and venous disorders. He also performs hemodialysis access surgery for patients on dialysis.
Many patients are managed successfully without surgery, but when intervention is needed, Dr. Dougherty walks patients through the risks, recovery, and expected outcomes in detail. "There's no greater endeavor than to alleviate fear and suffering," he says of his approach to patient care.
