It was obvious that Dr. Doerfler had reviewed my medical history before this initial appointment. He asked many questions to understand my symptoms and concerns, explained in detail his diagnosis, and thoroughly explained his thoughts on next steps. He answered my questions and respected my goals in treatment.

Dr Doerfler was focused and attentive to my care and questions. I was blown away by his approach because he is the third provider I've seen for my thyroid issue and he was exactly what I had been looking fora comprehensive assessment of any and all causes as relates to the thyroid and other potential causes of the symptoms I'm having. I am so relieved to have found him.

After being shuffled from one specialist to the next over the last couple years, this was the first one that I ended with a sense of hope! Dr. Doerfler listened, was empathetic, had ideas, and helped figure out a plan to help me. It was wonderful and I'm so grateful I made the call to schedule with his practice.
