5.0 star star star star starFirst off Kathleen is amazing! 1000/10. She's relatable and so knowledgeable. I'm 3 visits in and even though I'm nervous she doesn't make it feel awkward. She makes you feel like you aren't alone and you can tell this is what she loves to do ,help women. It's like a 2nd round of therapy learning how and why the body could be reacting.

Kathleen is an excellent educator and has helped me understand my issue and how i can move beyond it. Her knowledge in pelvic health is impressive. She has an ability to instill a desire in you to work toward pain free, stronger and healthy living. Along with all of this, is her extremely pleasant demeanor which puts you at ease with some of the sensitive discussions on achieving good pelvic health. What an asset to NW med Kathleen is!! I have done a fair amount of physical therapy in my lifetime and she is truly the best!!

5.0 star star star star starKathleen has provided wonderful support for me in exploring what treatment/exercises/preparations work best for me. She is always concerned and a very good listener. No matter what I ask she responds professionally and thoroughly. She is taking what would seem a very personal condition and made me feel very comfortable in trying to do what is best for my body. I find myself suggesting to other people to understand the importance of their pelvic floor. I am very thankful.

5.0 star star star star starI wish I could give her more than a 10, she has the best attitude and makes me feel so comfortable! I feel like I've known her forever, and she knows her stuff. She is very intelligent and never fails to answer my questions and/or concerns with something simple as a yes or no. She goes into detail and is giving me her knowledge so I can better care for myself and it's appreciated

5.0 star star star star starKathleen Doherty has been an incredible help and support to me as I navigate an awkward and embarrassing condition. Kathleen has educated me about my health problem while guiding me with sensitivity and kindness to better care for myself. Kathleen is the reason for my improvement, and her sense of humor makes it easy to discuss uncomfortable, intimate issues. I'm really grateful that she was assigned to my case.
