Dr. Doherty was by far the best dentist I've seen in years and I'm very thankful for the care I got today. I have ptsd from going to bad dentist as a child and Dr. Doherty was very helpful in making me feel comfortable.it was very refreshing to have a upfront dentist who explained everything thoroughly as well as making sure all my needs and answers were met I'd highly suggest this dentist

I got right in to see the hygienist. She was very efficient and is a pleasure to talk with. Dr. Doherty gave me a check-up and out I went. I look forward to seeing these two again. It is a pleasure to be a patient here.

I am very pleased with my visit. From check in to sending me on my way toothbrush in hand it was a professional and courteous experience. I'm afraid the only name I remember is Dan, who I presumed to be there primary dentist. Great guy and explained well. The woman who X-Rayed/cleaned my teeth was competent and polite.
