Dr Doherty is calm and solid and doesn't talk down to patients. Dr Glass was a hard act to follow but Dr Doherty succeeded.

Very professional team, our experience was amazing.
Swedish Patient
This was our first appointment with this provider-he was thoughtful, knowledgeable and appropriately concerned about my daughter's specific medical challenges as well as how that impacts the rest of her life. He listened to our concerns and had reviewed her info before our appointment and came with some thoughts and concerns of his own very kind to both my daughter and I.
Swedish Patient
I learned more in this 1st visit with Dr Doherty than what I have been told by past physicians for 44 years of being epileptic. He is very thorough and we are so happy!!!!
