Everything went very smoothly.
The women at the registration desk never smile or have a greeting. The rest of the staff and Dr. Doerfer are very friendly.
Dr Doerfer is beyond amazing. He is the 1st doctor to help me get healthy, take the time to listen to me and explain things and reassure me he was going to help me get well. For the 1st time in years, I am not chronically ill. I am beyond grateful for his care.
One of the best doctors I've ever had!
Dr Doerfer and his staff were professional and courteous, I would recommend them to anyone with a ear nose throat problem.
Care at Froedert is excellent
All's good.
Dr. Doerfer was wonderful in his explanation of my conditions and helped me understand that surgery would not resolve my issues, which I was thankful for! He is a very calm and sensitive person and made me feel well cared for.
The N.P. And Dr Doerfer are excellent! Both took time to listen and really understand what I was experiencing. Each of them truly took the time to discuss the diagnosis and easily explain a path forward. I felt so comfortable and confident leaving the clinic that day.
Excellent! Thank you for your concern.
Am very satisfied with answers to any questions I ask Dr Doerfer. Would recommend him.
I really appreciated the doctor's attention to my concerns and patience in answering all of my questions. I am glad I was referred to him.
The doctor was very good. Understood my concerns and answered them.
I was surprised by the doctors diagnosis. It has changed how I handle my symptoms in a very positive way. I'm very impressed and grateful
The medical student and the Doctor made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Both very personable and showed concern for my issue.
Always very professional
