    Dr. Doughem is very easy to talk to because he uses layman terms. He is not rushed when dealing with me, his main concern is my health & that I understand everything. After every visit he makes sure to tell me if I have any question to contact the office immediately.

    Both providers I see in Neurology and Rheumatology have greatly improved my quality of life and I'm so thankful to both Dr. D and Dr. Ben. I've also had a great experience with Physical Therapy at Bellin off of Packerland. I'm thankful I can trust Bellin overall. These days that's a luxury.
