I am very enjoy this meeting with all staff what they doing for me yesterday.Thanks a lot.
Very efficient visit, everyone was excellent. I couldn't have been happier with this visit.
Dr. Doherty listens to what I'm feeling and experiencing and then responds thoroughly and to the point. He is friendly and engaging.
I've had a chronic problem for a long time now and have seen many physicians and tried many, many treatments. Dr. Doherty is the FIRST to listen and factor in my feedback into a plan. Unique and so far, excellent.
Went per schedule. Staff was very friendly and helpful.....
I am ready to be a new man!! Hip replacement.
Great.
Great experience explained everything made sure all of my concerns were answered
I was seen minutes after I showed up, i had hardly any waiting time at all!
Every experience has been excellent
I am very happy with the care that I have received and I cannot think of anything that he could improve on.
As soon as I walked in, I was greeted. The receptionist called me over to her and helped me out. I was a bit nervous and in a rush, and her being so calm and confident made me calm down and relax. And then from the, from his nurse's assistant, she was very helpful. She even called me back today to let me know what was going on, and I really appreciated that. So, he has a good staff.
The staff was absolutely excellent all the way through the process. I was very disappointed with Dr. Doherty and I would not allow him to operate on me in the future.
My visit was very pleasant and professional. I'm so glad that I made this choice.
I was made to feel safe, to ask questions and to understand thoroughly what was being said.
Dr. Doherty was very informative, very meticulous, understood my problems, and the results were just amazing. The nature of the surgery was not easy, as I understand, but he has done a remarkable job and I just had my last appointment with him on the 6th, a few days ago, and the X-ray shows that I am in excellent condition. I'll be ready to play tennis back again. This is remarkable. Thank you.
Dr Doherty and his staff are very friendly and approachable.
Obviously he did a superb job with my surgery because I am healing well and I have no complaints at the moment. I felt that I did get the runaround when I agreed to injection. Personally, since being seen in Sugarland, I felt like I should not have to go all over Houston for an injection which I never got after receiving several phone calls. It was like arrangements couldn't be made on their end. This may not be on the doctor but his people did not follow through.
DR. Doherty was great, good listener, very thorough.
Everyone that I dealt with, from the front office to the medical staff, was courteous, professional, kind, and compassionate. I highly recommend Dr. Doherty and this practice!
Fantastic doctor and employees.
I definitely trusted the doctor, but the shot that he gave me is just not working. I'm having the same pain I had before I went to the doctor. Thank you.
There was an 1 1/2 hour wait for an Xray. I understand the wait was a n unusual problem. I would have appreciated being told about the delay sooner than 1 hour sitting in a chilly exam room.
Was referred to Memorial Hermann re: bi-lateral steroid injection w/flouroscopy in both hips. My electronic medical record, as well as a printed copy I presented, list an allergy to IV contrast. Neither the Dr. nor the schedule advisor ever advise that the procedure was with contrast. Not until I was about to undergo the procedure was I told.
Dr Doherty is great! He provides excellent care and has a very kind demeanor.
Great listeners. Very caring. Gentle treatment. Would recommend these providers to anyone.
All good
Dr. Doherty did two knee replacements on my husband and he had a very positive experience and I was very impressed with Dr. Doherty and so when I began having some pain in my knee I went to see him. The x-ray technician was excellent and very efficient and Dr. Doherty is just a very good doctor and a very good communicator and very personable and I just really like him a lot and I trust him and if I have any more problems with my knee I will be coming back to him.
I enjoyed my visit. I can't say enough about Dr.Doherty he listen to what you have to say. I was in so much pain but I afraid to have the surgery and I'm bone on bone and he helped me understand what was going on with my knee.
Dr. Doherty and his team is excellent and they take care of you and very quick response if you have any concern. I really appreciate the work they all do .They take very good care of their patient.
