I've always had a fear and aversion to dentists ever since I was a child because of adverse experiences. I can now say, with full confidence, that I have found a dentist that eases all anxiety of dentistry and that I truly respect.

I'm not sure how it happened that I originally gave a 1 star review. I did not mean to do that at all. Not sure how that happened. I give Dr Duggard a 5 star rating. They have a great staff.

Dr. Dugard has been my dentist for 20+ years and I hope this will continue for many more. He has a wonderful steady, firm yet gentle touch. I'm over 65 and have needed some old fillings replaced and his workmanship is excellent. He clearly has kept up with the latest in technology and technique. Twice over the years I've needed his help after hours or on a holiday and he was there to help me. And when the problem needed a periodontist, he recommended one who has been fist rate. I highly recommend him to any and all.

Dr. Dugard is top-notch. I can't say enough good things about him and his entire staff. They came highly recommended to me and one of the best things I've ever done is to go see them. I so appreciate the care, concern, and diligence they have put into my situation. If you are reading this review, I promise they will do the same for you.
