Dr Dougherty's office is efficient, thoughtful and provides excellent dental care. I am a physician and know how hard it is to both run an office and give excellent patient care. He does both. Highly recommend Dr Dougherty and staff. More

My mom has been getting her teeth cleaned by Heidi for years, and always boasts about her. I finally switched to Dougherty Dental. I met Dr. Scott, and Jeanette. They were so patient, informative and comforting! It's a very nice office, and the staff were all extremely pleasant. More

Dr Dougherty is the consummate professional. An excellent dentist, he avoids unnecessary treatments or procedures, which really suits me. Also a very kind and caring person, as is the entire staff. I was referred to Dr Dougherty by my periodontist a few years ago and so glad I found him. More

Dougherty Dental helped my mother, with dementia,  in my absence and in the presence of a care giver to receive necessary dental treatment.  They certainly could have decided not to work with Mother under the circumstances, but instead, through phone calls to me and through emails, we were able to get Mother the treatment she needed.  I applaud the Dougherty team for their humanity and professionalism More

I have spent a great deal of time in a dentist chair since knocking out my two front teeth at age 13. I speak from experience and with conviction that my experience is always positive. They are the very best and I would not consider anyone other than Dr. Dougherty and his caring assistant and warm staff. More

They’re doing all the right things at this dentist’s office. Been going there for several years -- Paul is a neighbor  of ours. But more than that, it’s a place that has friendly staff, professional services, beautiful accommodations. I go twice a year to have my teeth cleaned, and Heidi always has some helpful information for keeping my teeth even healthier. More

By far the best Dentist in San Diego. Dr. Dougherty is very knowledgeable and keeps up on all the latest techniques. Recently had a crown fall off, drove right over and after a short 10 minute wait he fit me in and it 15 minutes, it was cemented by in. Dr. Dougherty and the whole staff are so friendly. Super clean new office. in 20 years have never had a problem, just the best. More

I have been going here for dental services for many years now.  The staff are always friendly and knowledgeable.  Their new facility is modern and really nice.  As a patient, I feel extremely comfortable when I com here.  I also like how they have a panoramic x-ray machine on site.  No more of that archaic biting down on the films.
