    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.
