About me

Dr. Soghra Jougheh Doust is a medical geneticist whose focus is on how genetics affect nervous system function. Valuing compassionate care, she seeks to give patients and their families clear explanations of complex genetic information and to support them in making informed decisions on genetic testing and treatment options for any diagnoses they receive.

      Dr Doust is caring and compassionate. She is very thorough in explaining and making sure I understood my lab results and the next steps in my care. I am so happy with her and I am confident she will do all she can while I am in her care.

      I think I will know more how I feel after the genetic testing us completed and we discuss results.

      If there was an option rating for Excellent, I would chose that. I am so thankful that it is Dr. Doust who is in charge of my care. She is thorough and explains every detail to me. She listens to my concerns if any and questions I may have with patience and answers all concerns in a manner that I understand. She brings not just care but also compassion. Thank you Dr. Doust.
