Dr. Doerr, an Orchard Park native, has strong ties to the Western New York area and strives to provide the best possible compassionate care to his patients. He said, “making access to care easier for patients in this region was at the center of the decision to bring services to the Lake Shore campus.” He also stated that the community can expect a patient-centered approach to care where their interest comes first. “We want patients to be comfortable, so we try to take time with them, educate them, and reassure them.” Dr. Doerr also noted that his office staff provides excellent support for patients and are “truly available, very receptive.” This includes a nurse that is on-call 24/7 for anyone with issues that need to be addressed.

Dr. Doerr completed his urology training at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. During his five years at the Mayo Clinic, he was afforded the opportunity to learn from the current leaders in the field of urology.
