Dr. Doherty was wonderful, kind, thorough, patient. He answered all our questions and explained clearly my health situation and the best form of treatment. We are very grateful to have had the time and consideration he gave and feel confident in his care.

Dr. Doherty always seems attentive and caring. I noted it the very first time I saw him, and that demeanor has never changed in all the years I've been seeing him. He explains things well and never rushes me.

Absolutely SO thankful that Dr. Doherty had preread my chart, and was up do date - ready to talk about my situation from just the two weeks before (when I was diagnosed with cancer). I was so thankful for that - and that I did not have to explain all that had gone on during the past two weeks. He was so prepared to discussed my epilepsy/neurology care with him - and the relations to my new oncologist. Even did forward care that he knew would assist the "joint" situation. Couldn't have been better, making me very confident.
