Psychiatrist Peter Doherty

Dr Peter helped me when my life was an absolute roller coaster for years. He immediately diagnosed me as Bipolar and that I should be on Lithium.

First person to recommend this. I have been on this amazing compound since late 2011 and have been well.

Dr Peter is a fantastic doctor, one that I would recommend to anyone with any psychological issues. I always look forward to my appointments.

In general this person has no people skills - he is very abrupt and rude.

From a professional point of view I found him to be a waste of time and for a person with depression I felt 10 times as bad when I left his office. During the consultation Peter Doherty did not listen to anything I had to say it was all about him and the pre meditated result in his thoughts.

Very bad experience.

- Never again. Do not go there.

This psychiatrist was hand picked by Woolworths lawyers to minimise my work place injury but the lies in his report about me left me with no choice but to report him to AHPRA

He stated that I drank three bottles of red wine per day while on 200mg of Zoloft .. why didnt he contact my gp if this was truly the case ..

medical negligent on his part already

Here I had Woolworths apologising for my psychological injury while this useless person was trying to say I was not being honest about my condition

Just a complete waste of time for the Woolworths lawyers and my lawyers .. medical panel is the next step

Dont see this fraud for an IME. He is another of Gallaghar Bassett Hired guns.

He is only in it for the money that he gets paid to write utter crap. Absolute disgrace. And they wonder why people have mental issues. STAY AWAY from this low life.

There needs to be a royal commission into this sort of behaviour.

URGENTLY. Mental health issues shouldnt be treated the way these hired guns go about things!!!

Dr Peter Doherty from Monash University claims to be an expert in legal matters, however the New York Supreme Court's Disciplinary Committee disbarred Mastercard's lawyer, Ms Keila Ravelo, with the help of the facts that Dr Doherty divulged in a sting. Dr Doherty's report is with the chief of the US Prosecution's national security division, Ms Eileen Decker whose experience includes the arrests of the Malaysian Prime Minister, and he disagrees with the SEC Prosecutor of Gotti.

Doherty did exactly as the whistleblowers in McGarvie's office said he would. Antipedophile advocate Fiona Bennett knew what his report said. ActivistNews Australia knew what his report said said at the moment McGarvie received it. Rural Action Group knew.

Anti-corruption advocates knew. Elliot Sgargetta was tipped off and It All Came True, he reported to the FBI. As well as the disbarment of Mastercard's lawyer, the Victorian Supreme Court disbarred the tax avoiding gambling barrister Stirling and next is his mate Mctaggart and Hibbert and Hodges. If you ever intend to see Dr Doherty, send in an undercover agent.

I was on A Current Affair and they send in fake patients to dodgy doctors.

Ask them for an actor and wait to see Dr Doherty blow the whistle and try to find out what his paying insurers want him to do. Cheerio, Whistleblowers Fight Back.

I liked him. Thought he was cool!

Pity he is no longer practising. Admittedly I felt like 'lamb sent to slaughter'- relative to his seemingly harsh methods; however in one hour he was able to touch on wounds that were hidden....perhaps even from myself. So deeply embedded that, evidently, over a decade of talking with different so called 'professionals' was clearly a waste. I don't mind his cool demeanour and seeming lack of empathy.

He cuts to the core! As swiftly and sharp his 'blows' did feel, I was inspired by the ability to feel anything at all. Impressive. I snapped at him for probing me too far.

I found some questions inappropriate and irrelevant. He didn't seem to mind my reaction. He can take it! Speak your mind with him freely.

Don't be intimidated, he's down to earth and not that scary. Also do not lie to him. He is a walking lie detector. I trust he is a magician for that alone.

For those of you whom have gone out of your way to afford us all the horrifying reviews I discovered after our meeting; I can understand how Dr. Doherty's methods might seem brutal.... to which I say, too harsh! Collectively he was slandered to such that I was disturbed having read all that.

Glad I did not read it before attending. Cut the man a break, he deals with liars and insane people most frequently. What a *** job, not to mention the parasitic insurance companies. He's not that bad.

I went alone. His office was lovely. Stunning Feng shui with lot's of sunlight. Tasteful decore- ambient!

Immaculate and peaceful. Surroundings are a reflections of what resides within. I love my feng shui. His office was even in the abundance corner.

Was comfortable. His reception staff positively lovely. Stunning pot plants all over the place. Everything clean and tidy.

A kind greeting by him, was told I could sit anywhere. I was invited to address him by his first name, suggesting to me immediately he is not afflicted with the 'God Complex'... My appointment was lucky last and he was nice enough to me. I imagine the tail end of anyone's work day would be tiresome.

Fancy how exhausted he must have been, listening to people offload on him all day for IME reports. How tedious and boring! I am no genius but I believe Peter to be highly highly intelligent and am doubtful he would suffer fools with the tolerance of an average mind. This does not make him a monster in my view.

In him I was able to detect a harsh yet experienced critic YES indeed.... but also a father... and he was impartial. It was disappointing that Peter is no longer practising, I would have liked a session with him later down the track.

something told me he would make a better Dr. than report writer. I don't believe he is guilty of anything but being good at his job. People can be too quick to judge especially if triggered.

Myself included. If you are a weak person, perhaps take a friend. This man may not be for the faint hearted.

If you are independent and resilient with nothing of relevance to hide then you have nothing to worry about. Hope this helps

I've been seeing Peter Doherty for over 10 years. I had problems getting in tune with his manner and after about 12-18 months I sought a second opinion from a psychiatrist I sourced independently.

I was seriously considering shifting away from Doherty. Doherty raised no qualms about sending my record to this other psychiatrist. However, the second psychiatrist, who really impressed me, impressed upon me the reality Peter's treatment of me was no different to what he (the 2nd psych., would employ. I decided to continue with Peter and have mostly been very happy since.

I've adapted better to his manner, which I've always found to be kind, but apparently a bit offhand. I've always found his advice to be good (I research everything thoroughly), he has always given me plenty of choice, ALL drug increase, change, and decrease decisions are mine, based, of course on the knowledge he imparts. He clearly sets out the options, and the pros and cons of each. Since the 2nd opinion I've always taken my partner with me.

He's never questioned that, and realises it helps in the sense that she is able to give him better input on my condition and any changes than I can, and she is able both to add to my recall (I have an appalling memory, made worse by one of my drugs) and to help me at times better interpret what I've been told. This has helped me considerably. Would I recommend Peter Doherty to others? Yes, but with provisos.

And I would stress that if any prospective patient finds him difficult at first, if they can cope it would be good to bear with him. The time taken is, I believe, well worth it.

Dr Doherty of Richmond Melbourne Australia is not be confused with the Nobel Prize winner by the same name.

The man is delusional if he thinks the world is chocolate and roses.

Anyone in law enforcement, white collar or organized crime or banking should avoid him unless they want their feelings hurt.

He doesn't believe in undercover operations, whistleblowers, the FBI joint task forces, or Royal Commissions. He will disregard anything that gets in the way of whoever is paying him in my opinion.
