Dr. Bill Doherty was born and raised in Southeast Michigan where he currently resides with his wife, Megan, and their two cats. He attended Saginaw Valley State University for undergrad and received his dental degree from The University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry in 2013.
Dr. Doherty is committed to providing dentistry in a comfortable setting and believes patient education is of the utmost importance. He prioritizes patient communication since understanding is the pathway that leads to your comfort and knowledge. The doctor always seeks to further his own education in order to provide the best quality of care he can.
While not in the office, Dr. Doherty enjoys playing and watching hockey, attending concerts, live trivia nights, movies, and outdoor activities. He has also donated his hair several times to Children With Hair Loss, so you may never know how long his hair may be when you see him!
I grew up and graduated from Tecumseh High School where I did some Tecumseh Youth Theatre plays, participated in lacrosse, cheerleading and choir. Then I went on to hygiene school at the University of Michigan and participated in Relay for Life, in addition to being the Social Chair of the student council. I am a part of the National Dental Hygiene Association and strive to take care of my patients the way they would like to be treated. Now I reside in Adrian with my family and love to take walks on local trails for fun.
I received my Dental Hygiene degree from the University of Michigan and have been with the office since 2001. I treasure the relationships I have developed during this time, and truly care about the health and well-being of each of my patients. My husband, Doug, and I are the proud parents of Kayla (Sam) and Steven. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, reading, and relaxing at the lake.
I grew up in the central Michigan area, where I attended Ferris State University, receiving my degree in dental assisting in 1985. I worked chairside with patients for several years, until I moved my skills to the front desk. I enjoy helping our patients understand their dental treatment, and working through how we can help them. The dental field has changed quite a bit since I started, but I am alwaysinterested in learning anything new. I recently moved to a new home in Tecumseh with my family. When I am notworking, I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening, and following my teenage son with all of his activities. Traveling tovisit my adventurous daughter is always a joy!
I grew up in Mid-Michigan and attended Mott Community College, where I graduated in 2017 with an Associates of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene. I was class president and also received the Hu-Friedy Golden Scaler Award for demonstrating clinical excellence. Helping people improve their oral health by providing gentle and thorough cleanings is my top priority. Im very passionate about my career and believe in delivering personalized care to each patient.When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my family, as well as camping and fishing.
I have lived in Tecumseh since 1966 and I absolutely love my hometown and the people in it. My husband, Doug, and I have been married since 1982. We have one daughter, Megan, and two beautiful granddaughters, Ella and Addy. My hobbies are stained glass and flower gardening. I have been with this office since 2002 and I enjoy each and every patient that walks through our door. We are like one big happy family here!
I grew up here in Tecumseh, and graduated from Tecumseh High School. I spend most of my time with my wonderful family. Jamin, me and our kids Brooklynn and Tate love spending time outside. We like going on walks around town, having cookouts and swimming in the pool. My role here at Doherty Family Dentistry includes taking patient X-rays, working in the sterilization lab and assisting. I work with a wonderful team of people and enjoy greeting and meeting all the new and former patients.

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Doherty since he took over the practice. He is patient, calm, caring and skilled. Tonight, I called his personal phone number because my friend was having a severe dental emergency. He drove about an hour to help her well after normal business hours. He went way above and beyond. While this type of care was the norm years ago, I don't know of any other dentists who are still willing to do this today. He truly cares about his patients (and their friends!) and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Very affordable dental care. Dr. Bill is the best in town and he takes the time to get to know you. He certainly cares about his patients and doesn't just view us as as dollar signs walking through a door. I would recommend him for all ages.

I highly recommend going here! They were able to get my daughter in right away after having a bad experience from another dentist in the area. Everyone from the front desk staff, hygienist and the dentist were all very friendly and caring. They also were great with my 6 year old daughter who was nervous about getting her teeth done. The dentist was very knowledgeable, informative and I could tell he really cares about his patients! I will be switching all of my family over to Doherty dental.

I went to Dr. Doherty after visiting two other dentists that just didn't work for me and I'm so glad I did! Dr. Doherty is kind, gentle, and extremely caring. I had an epic crisis that I thought could never be resolved. I was terrified and did not like what the other dentists suggested I should do. Dr. D. not only fixed my problem but gave me three options to choose from! My teeth never looked as good their entire life! The staff is warm and caring. Never worry about going to the dentist again!
