Incredible! Dr. D is kind and thoughtful, and approaches the entire experience in a calm way without any judgement. He makes you feel like everything is fine, and that confidence paired with his skill means that I don't have to worry. He's willing to work with whatever anxiety you may have and calms or numbs your pain and dental stress away. I used to hate going to the dentist. Now, I have a trusted expert that can help.

I have known Dr. Dougherty for years and he has always provided patients with top-notch dental care. His reputation as a sleep dentist is unparalleled. The amount of training and education he voluntarily participates in speaks volumes about his approach to helping anxious patients obtain any treatment needed to maintain excellent oral health and create a beautiful smile. Many dentists provide sedation services, but far fewer utilize IV sedation because of the stringent requirements and knowledge needed to safely provide this level of service.
