Dr. Doherty is always a pleasure to see! He has been caring for my adult son with autism for years, and he is truly amazing. He has a wonderful bedside manner and genuinely understands what it's like to be a parent of someone with seizures and autism. He always helps us look at realistic treatment plans and focuses on what is best for my son and our entire family. We are truly lucky to have him on my son's care team.
