Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
Presented By: Mitchell Daugherty, MD
He doesn’t remember a specific moment he decided to become a doctor. But Dr. Mitchell E. Daugherty has been around medicine his entire life; his mother and sister are both nurses. “I thought I would enjoy practicing medicine, so I made it my personal goal, and I stuck with it. My love of science classes along with volunteer work in local physician offices and hospitals helped solidify this decision.”
To achieve this goal, Dr. Daugherty pursued his medical degree at the University of Illinois College of Medicine in Rockford after receiving his bachelor of science at the University of Illinois in Urbana. He completed his Family Medicine Residency at Memorial Hospital in South Bend and his Primary Care Sports Medicine Fellowship at The Ohio State University.
The most important knowledge for Dr. Daugherty came from outside of school. “I learned medicine from textbooks and teachers, but I’ve learned how to be a good physician from my patients. No two patients are the same, and they don’t often follow the textbook presentation.”
He uses this knowledge when treating patients. “I see patients of all ages for their primary care needs, but I also have a specialized interest in treating acute and chronic musculoskeletal injuries and guiding patients to maintain a physically active lifestyle,” he says. “As a sports medicine physician, I will always push to keep you mobile, active and exercising throughout your entire life.”
As for what Dr. Daugherty hopes patients learn from him? “Each patient’s question and concern is important, and it is an honor and a privilege to be a part of their health care team and help them achieve a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle.”
