This was our second visit with Dr Doherty-medical needs aren't urgent but this was a follow up to a chronic condition and medication changes are happening-. Dr Doherty is great about writing clear detailed notes that include specific instructions and info. He is also great about responding to portal communication. He is focused on my daughter's epilepsy but his concerned is not just about seizures but about how epilepsy and treatments impact her overall health and quality of life. This has not been the level of care we have received by outside neuro providers-I am thrilled that we have a found him
