Referral to Dr. Duggan was thru a friend’s husband who has dental phobia. I have PTSD along with a background of horrific child abuse. For me, being in a dental chair can be anxiety producing & a trigger for traumatic memories, but I’ve had times when I could easily have fallen asleep while having dental work performed. I find Dr. Duggan to be approachable, & I have found it easy to discuss with her my concerns especially with regard to the use of Novocain which I cannot tolerate. She is conservative in her approach; never have I found her to be ambitious in her recommendations for dental work. Her use of & skill with the dental laser is a plus. I have crowns that were applied without the use of Novocain, & I have never experienced any unbearable pain while in her dental chair. She employs an incredibly light touch while working in my mouth. It is my experience that her practice operates in a consistent routine so that I’ve come to know what to expect. I have always known her and her staff to follow standard of care infection control procedures which is vitally important for patient well-being. Her staff has always been accommodating when an unforeseen tooth problem arose. I appreciate her care.

About Front Desk: For the most part over the many years, I have found the staff to be accommodating regarding scheduling and insurance matters. They have been most helpful in the few times when unexpected tooth problems arose, both in fitting me in for an appointment and care suggestions until the appointment time. Over the years I have found her staff to be skilled and friendly.

Hygiene rating:

About Hygienist: Dr. Groom is my hygienist. She was thorough re the info gathering for updating my health record & asked pertinent questions re my allergies. She performed an interior mouth assessment. The cleaning was complete and thorough. I found her to be efficient but gentle in her cleaning methodology. She has a very nice chairside manner.

Hygiene time: 30

I know this doctor: 19 years
