Dr. Doherty supervised my VEEG in February. This was my first routine visit. He was fantastic in February and fantastic during my visit. As I was unhappy with my prior neurologist, I am thrilled to be under Dr. Doherty's care. I have also found all office staff to be very courteous and helpful and perform their jobs well. Thank you.

I think Dr. Doherty is the best doctor, I have ever had. He takes his time to explain things and listen to me as well. I would recommend him to anyone that needs care in his field.

I'm very thankful I was referred to Dr. Doherty. He continues with genuine care to eliminate my seizures. After trying multiple medication changes, the seizures continued. After multiple tests during a hospital stay to see what part of my brain the seizures start, he recommended the VNS device. The VNS has reduced my seizures. He continues to make adjustments to the VNS and medications until the seizures are gone.
