I've never had any surgery at all. From the time I walked in the office the first time (trying to find out why I couldn't see at night) I was treated like a friend. From the technician's to the nurse's, Dr. Doherty and the anastsologist were professional, kind, compassionate and helped me understand exactly what was happening step by step. I don't think I could have done it without their kindness!I would recommend Dr. Doherty to anyone needing eye care. He is wonderful. The whole staff is!!!!
