“From the consultation through the entire process, Dr. Dougherty and her staff have been incredibly informative and helpful every step of the way. I have two children who go here, and my youngest requires a little more patience and care. Dr. Dougherty and her team are always so kind, understanding, and patient with him. We are truly thankful for all the progress being made—both of their smiles are on there way to looking perfect! We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Dougherty Orthodontics.”

“Every single person we deal with here is so nice and very good at their job. My daughter actually likes coming here. They were so informative about every procedure and what we can expect. And they always work with my schedule. Everyone always has a smile on their face. It feels like a place where people actually enjoy working there. And the decor is also very nice—it gives the place a nice relaxing ambiance. And they have the cutest shirts :)”

“I’m so glad we found Dougherty! The staff is always super welcoming & sincerely nice, the Dr. is great too! They communicate well, sharing opinions as well as options. They made sure I knew that they’d match competitors prices & that getting another quote could save me money. My daughter feels very comfortable with all the staff. The office remodel is beautiful…so…five stars! Good job guys!”

What I most love is they’re always telling me what they’re doing, you’re not sitting there wondering what’s going on, so they are very upfront with you, very honest with you, and they’re perfectionist. They want to make it right and make sure you are 100% satisfied.”

Treated with respect and care!

“Dougherty Orthodontics stood out, everything was bright and colorful and there was a smile on everyone’s faces. Dr. Dougherty got back to us right away and did not want to delay any treatment that we could be having so we did a video conference, which was really fun….we met her in her home office and felt like we got to know who we were working with…I knew Drake was in such great hands and never had to be nervous or scared.”
