Dr. A. R. Doyle

Our Medical Director, A. R. Doyle, M.D., is originally from Rock Island. He returned to the area upon completion of his four-year psychiatric residency at Loyola University Medical Center in Maywood, Illinois, just outside of Chicago. While at Loyola, he did work at the Veterans' Administration Hospital and the Madden location of the state psychiatric hospital system. He studied Gestalt and EMDR techniques, as well, and also studied marital/sexual therapy under Dr. Domeena Renshaw.

He is the former medical director of the MARC (Multiple Addictions Recovery Center) unit at Genesis Hospital in Davenport, with an abundant inpatient practice. He was also a staff psychiatrist at Vera French Community Mental Health Center in Davenport. Following some personal life changes, in October of 2004 he decided to concentrate on his private practice in order to have the time to start looking into fulfilling a lifelong dream.

Dr. Doyle and Susan Alden, N.D., APN, opened their private practices at the new building at 111 19th Avenue in Moline on May 2, 2005.
