Oh my goodness, Dr. Dougherty has brought to a close a particularly difficult experience of mine. Two of my front teeth were crushed in a face injury almost a year ago, leaving a painful and unsightly two inch gap in the front of my mouth. After months of treatment and healing, Dr. Dougherty has worked a miracle. The bridge and crown he created and installed are beautiful, strong and match the rest of my teeth perfectly, which is no small feat considering these teeth have been through 70 years of wear and tear. Thank you so much, Dr. Dougherty!! More

Dr. Dougherty is a true master of his craft. He’s a kind and caring guy, loves what he does, and it shows from the very first visit. I had a crown procedure on a front tooth go terribly wrong at another dental practice. Dr. Dougherty quickly course corrected, redoing the entire procedure that the other dentist botched, with lightning speed, precision, and no discomfort whatsoever. It’s been barely a month, but I forget I have a crown - tooth looks and feels perfect. The staff and everyone at the clinic is extremely nice and respectful. Highly recommend. More

Thank you to Dr. Salazar and his team for the great care that I have recently received. I received a new guard to be used during sleeping time at night. And My first night using it went really smooth. I like this new guard, made of a different material than the previous one. The change is noticeable. I feel that my teeth have now the right support with Team Dr. -Salazar and Dougherty. Merci mille fois! More

Why do dental emergencies always happen on weekends or right before trips? Well, both happened to me when I lost a crown this weekend, and am leaving on the first flight out tomorrow. (It was done by another dentist.) Dr. Salazar squeezed me in at the last minute this morning. Crown was damaged, but they worked a fix that will get me through my trip. In and out in 20 minutes.

This was the best dental experience I have had to date. I needed a procedure done quickly (cracked tooth) and they not only brought me in quickly for a consult before the holidays but completed the job that same day. I loved the whole staff and special shout out to Dr Salazar who is my hero. He was professional and created an atmosphere of calm in my nervous self. Before I knew it I was fixed up and ready to go looking better than when I walked in the office. And completely PAIN FREE! Thank you! 10/10 recommend! More

A dark red wine stained a couple of very visible teeth over the Fourth of July week-end. My smile became a real fright! The office was closed for the holiday, but as soon as they received my message they squeezed me into their already filled schedule and polished my teeth back to their perfect pearly white. The entire staff and especially Dr. Dougherty are absolutely the best. BTW, When I began going to Dr. Dougherty when a top plastic surgeon who is a friend of mine referred me to Dr. Dougherty and said he is the best of the best dentists in San Diego. More

This was my first visit to Dougherty Dental, and it was a very good experience. The parking was easy, the dentist spent a lot of time with me, asking all the right questions. They had new things that I had not seen before, like scanning my teeth to get a very accurate view of them. The cleaning was good, and afterward, she gave me a hot towel, which felt wonderful! I felt listened to, respected and valued as a patient - an unusual feeling these days! More

I've been a patient of Dougherty Dental for 20+ years, and they continue to impress. Just this week, 12/2/2021, I went in for a cleaning with Heidi, my favorite hygienist. I mentioned I was soon to have a gum procedure. The problem was that no full mouth x-ray was current periodontist review. Heidi got up and requested approval to get one immediately. Dr. Dougherty responded within minutes, ordered the scan while I was there, and had it sent over the same day. Now that's fabulous! More

Just a great experience. Went there to have two very old silver fillings replaced. Discovered that there was a crack at the bottom of one tooth, which will require a crown, which is so much better than waiting around for the tooth to crack, which would require an implant. Absolutely no pain when the old fillings were removed. Just a very pleasant visit. More

She used just the right amount of pressure in both hand-scaling and when using the ultrasonic. She took extra care to remove all stains from tea & tobacco. This was expecially nice as I am now 30 days smoke-free! More

Heidi took X-rays with quickness and ease and my teeth cleaning was painless and thorough. My teeth have never felt and looked better! They advised me how to take care of my teeth at home to prevent any future issues and provided me with a small bag of necessities. I will definitely be returning to Dougherty Dental for my dental needs from here on out. More

Can't recommend more highly - they are the best! Have been to renowned dentists in NYC, Boston, FLA -- no practice has been more expert, more caring than Dougherty Dental. Ashley gave me clinical advice that has been invaluable -- her expertise saved 4 of my teeth other dentists wanted to remove. Dr. Scott Szotko is brilliant, and always has insightful ideas about protocols for near term, and down the road. Very patient-centric and strategic. Even the front desk staff are super cheery and kind. I have no fear of dentists, but for anyone who does, you will find serenity and tremendous care at Dougherty Dental. Bravo! More

Being 57 years old and living in many different states and various parts of California throughout my lifetime, I’ve had many dentists. I’ve been lucky and have always managed to pick very good dentists, usually by referrals from friends, family or co-workers. However, with that said, Dr. Doughety and his incredible staff are hands down, BY FAR, the best Dentist I’ve ever had! He and his staff are professional, organized and TRULY care about each and every patient like you were one of their family members. I’ve now been going to him for over 10 years and would never even consider going anywhere else. I honestly think if I moved to New York, I would fly back to San Diego every 6 months for my dental appointment. That probably sounds crazy, but the fact is, he’s just THAT GOOD and it would be worth the expense and trip! Fortunately, I have no plans to ever move again, so I won’t have to worry about it. Dr. Dougherty should write a book for other Dentists on how a top-notch Dental office should be run and how to hire (and keep) high-quality, competent and caring staff members. On top of that, my teeth have NEVER looked better or been healthier. Shout-out and a BIG thanks to Dr. Dougherty and his entire staff for all you do! Scott Tietjen San Diego 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 to Dr. Dougherty for many years and have received excellent care. Today I was distressed to hear a nasty, condescending remark made by Andrea and directed at one of the front office staff. It was truly uncalled for and very uncomfortable for those in the waiting room to overhear. The impressions given by the office staff, is very important and tend to color your opinion of the whole office. In spite of the embarrassing comment, the 2 front office women handled it very professionally. It must be difficult on them. More

Dr. Dougherty was my dentist in the early 90's to 1995 before I moved away from California. He did three gold onlays or inlays (I'm not sure of the difference) in back molars that have given me 20 years (so far!) of trouble free service. I have had problems with other traditional large fillings that were done by other dentists. These other amalgam fillings have discolored surrounding tooth and some have broken. Dr. Dougherty also extracted my four wisdom teeth. Dr. Dougherty is a dental artist and a caring and gentle practitioner. If I lived anywhere near San Diego, I'd still go to him. He is the BEST dentist I ever had and his dental skills stand the test of time. 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.

Dr. Dougherty and his staff are absolutely the best. I have been a patient of this office for many years and everyone has been great. I have had a lot of dental work done over the years and haven't always had a great experience. Dr. Dougherty's office takes the time to go over the procedures and really fixes issues right the first time. You know you are in good hands and feel well taken care of. I highly recommend them!

I have been a patient of Dr. Dougherty since the 80's, except for a short time I had dental insurance and went to another dentist who did not do a good job. I returned to Dr. Dougherty and he was able to completely redo the other dentists work. That was 18 years ago, and I haven't had any problem since. I find his staff to be the best I have encountered in my lifetime, especially my hygenist Heidi. I would recommend his practice to everyone, but be prepared for La Jolla prices! More
