The Doctor Next Door is a collection of stories, lessons, and reflections that celebrate life, relationships, and the indomitable human spirit. It peeks inside the mind of the physician as a person- sometimes flawed, sarcastic, and unnervingly close to the patient’s suffering. The Doctor Next Door reveals the intimacy of the doctor-patient bond and may change the way you look at the field of medicine.

"This book is a refreshing compilation of stories about the true meaning of why many physicians choose to become doctors. Dr. Holt epitomizes compassion and bedside manner and emphasizes the importance of refocusing medicine away from science and back to the art of caring and being a doctor."

"It is true talent when a writer can take something as technical as medical science and make it engaging and inspirational for the reader. Dr. Holt brings that talent to life in The Doctor Next Door which she makes clear in her opening words that, "real medicine isn’t about science. It’s about people and their stories..." And, she does that so well on every page whether she is sharing a vignette about a patient, their family, or even other medical staff."
