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.

Dr. Doherty checks all that pertains to neuro, seizures, and then he asks about other health items. He makes sure the patient is followed by all necessary specislists snd checking with the primary care doc also. He confirms medication dises snd thinks outside the box for any lifestyle triggers for seizures or anxiety. He is thorough and cares for his patients.
