Dr Doherty is amazing!
Overall, my experience was extremely satisfactory. The patient care team provided a service to the patient.
The treatment I received from the doctor and his assistant was top class
Dr. Doherty, Gabby and KaMea were all friendly, informative and professional.
My experience at Dr. Doherty's office is absolutely amazing. Everyone was so friendly. Some of them remembered me from the last time I was seen. I was handled with care, and my doctor walked in my room with a big smile on his face as if to say, Ms. Folkhorn, it's all right. He administered my meds to me and explained everything to me and I had a great experience.
Usual professionalism I have come to expect.
All the doctors I have seen at UT Physicians Orthopedic surgery did a magnificent job. They care about their patients.
Doctor showed concern for my wellbeing.
All great.
The wait time was long, but the doctor was very informative.
Keep up the good work
I had two knee replacements to try to correct arthritis. The Doctor did all that was possible to ease the pain and stiffness in my knee-but given my condition, that was not possible.
100% professional down the line!!!!

Appt started exactly on time. All staff at front desks were very friendly and welcoming. Assistant, Gabby, and young lady that took X-rays were both professional and friendly. Dr Doherty answered my questions and was very pleasant and professional
From the free parking assistance to the check-in process to the xray and doctor interview, everything was easy on me as a patient. No time was wasted, my appointment went right on schedule, which is unheard of for any of my other medical visits anywhere else. My family will never go anywhere but this medical unit, and it's close by for us. Thank you all!
