Allina Health is the official orthopedic partner of Minnesota United FC professional soccer team. Dr. Doty serves as a team chiropractor to MNUFC athletes.
When I see a patient that has been dealing with a chronic condition with no real relief from multiple providers and I give them treatment they have never received before--when they finally start feeling better within a short period of time, that is the best part of my job.
I believe it is important for the patient to get the right diagnosis so that the very best treatment can be provided. I apply evidence-based conservative treatment to get patients better as quickly as possible. I collaborate with my colleagues of same or different disciplines when necessary to speed up patient recovery, and always refer patients to the proper healthcare provider when indicated. I am very good at patient triage--I am able to recognize whether I will be able to help patients or if they need to be seen by someone that can better manage their needs.
