Dr. Doherty always seems to have reviewed all of our options in depth prior to our visit. He provides us with possibilities for treatment and then asks to be sure we understand options and guides us to explore these options further. When there is time to decide, he provides access to further resources and time to make those decisions. He refers out for further evaluation if needed. We are always a part of the team making the best, most informed decisions for our daughter.

Swedish Patient
I had my initial appointment moved 2 months later than the original appointment. I just wanted to be seen as soon as possible after starting a new medication, I was told the doctor would not be available. He's very concerned about my health. A great doctor.

I receive excellent care from him. He has or makes the time to listen and question empathically. He provides information and ideas regarding my questions, answers, needs and capabilities and is simply good to be around.
