Dr. Dougan is the best GI doctor I have had! He does not rush our visits and always asks if I have additional questions. He is great at pivoting treatment, whenever I have a concern or need improvement of symptoms. I feel that he takes my input into consideration. Please don't ever let him leave Mass General!!

I was very appreciative that the doctor agreed to convert my initial visit to telehealth, after a major snowstorm hit the area and I was unable to travel from Connecticut to the appointment. The telehealth appointment didn't feel rushed and the doctor has been super responsive when I've sent him messages through the portal.

Dr. Dougan was truly excellent. He was kind, thorough, and knowledgeable. His expertise in his field was clear, but he explained everything in a way I could easily understand, and thoughtfully listened and answered my questions. He is exactly what I am looking for in a provider. I feel lucky to have been connected with him! Although it was a long wait in the examination room, he is completely worth it, and he spent as much time as we needed to cover my needs. I never felt rushed. He is worth the wait!

Hi, I always have a very positive experience with Dr. Dougan. He takes his time. He talks to me so that I understand the information. He's very good about making sure I check in with him at least once a year and talking about what next steps there are. He's very clear about any medications I need to take. It's just always a very pleasant experience. It's also easy to get an appointment with him in a short amount of time, which I'm very appreciative of that. Thank you.

This was my 1st visit with Dr. Dougan who was excellent. I had a serious adverse reaction to immune therapy for stage IV melanoma, likely due to underlying lifelong autoimmune conditions. It is very helpful/reassuring to have Dr. Dougan on board.

Dr. Dougan is a wonderful doctor and I am grateful he is in charge of my gastro-intestinal care. He is thoughtful, patient, and willing to openly discuss all options available. The nurses were great, accommodating, and communicative. My only issue to raise was scheduling. I had used the patient gateway to request an appointment but did not receive a response. After about 2-3 weeks I had to call to schedule an appointment. This was the only challenge but otherwise the care provided was great.
