My name is Sue, I lived in Arizona since 1992. I enjoy dental hygiene and pride myself in being gentle, yet thorough in providing preventative care.

I feel at home at Dovgan Dental with the motivating team atmosphere and their shared goals of caring for patients. When I am not at the office, I like to spend time with my family or fashion a new dress from scratch.

I was so impressed with every aspect of this office!! The staff is simply delightful and so caring and kind! Dr. Dovgan is also very kind and caring.... I need extensive work done and have been very fearful to go to a dentist. Dr. Dovgan, Sue and Michelle made me feel safe, heard and understood and put me very much at ease. I am so grateful that I found his name on Nextdoor chat about best dentists. He was referred to me by no less than 6 people on that site aloneread more

Fantastic experience. The staff is incredibly friendly and make great conversation. They were thorough when taking x-rays and checking my teeth, they... also had a camera, and I was able to see what was going on during the exam.I had a cleaning done, and the experience was very good. They use an ultrasonic/water device to clean, as well as the traditional hand tools. I found very little to no discomfort during the process, and look forward to future treatments.I highly recommend this incredibly professional dental office over your average Smile McDentist.read more

As a new patient, I recently visited this dental office and left very pleased after my first visit. Both the dentist and his staff were very warm... and welcoming. I hadn't been to a dentist in a few years and this alone was adding to my uneasiness about setting up an appointment for an exam, and then dealing with which dentist to choose on top of it all? (Like many things, putting off a visit to the dentist is never a wise move.) After sorting through many reviews I then settled on Dr. Dovgan's office and was glad I did. Both Dr. Dovgan and his staff had me feeling very at ease in no time. I found this dental location to be equipped with all the latest modern technology, very stylish & clean and not rushed for time...nowadays, a pleasant surprise. (...Also, special praise here to dental hygienist "Sonata" for her gentle approach and also for really taking the time to conduct a thorough exam and cleaning of my teeth & gums. Thanks, Girl!!) Additionally, also nice was the ample, easy access parking and the comparability in pricing to the many other dentists out there. :)Upon leaving I felt I had made the right choice for myself in trusting Dr. Dovgan and his team of professionals with my dental concerns and I learned that even though my end results were not perfect ( -due to my own actions- ), they were better than anticipated and attainable. If you've (too) been playing dental roulette, procrastinating out of fear of the unknown ( -"unknown as in: "what's really going on inside my mouth??" -or- "which unknown dental office should I choose from??"- ) then this dentist and his team may be the place for you to try, as well. I wouldn't hesitate at all in recommending Dr. Dovgan's dental services. Thank you for my positive visit to the dentist!! :)Remove reviewread more

I’ve been coming to this office for the last 18 YEARS (since I was 7 years old) and I love Dr. Dovgan! I never understood how anyone could hate... going to the dentist before because I loved going to mine. He’s gentle, charismatic, and extremely knowledgeable in many different aspects of dentistry. The family feeling is great with the staff and they have always been so accommodating to my scheduling needs. I loved his practice so much growing up that I decided to join the dental field myself. I’d highly recommend anyone to come to his office.read more

Dr. Dovgan and every member of his staff that I have met represent the perfect blend of a highly professional, efficient and welcoming facility. They... are up to date on the latest procedures, they are willing to take the time to explain what is going to be done and they stand behind the work they do always assuring my complete satisfaction. I've had a range of work done from simple cleaning as well as complex procedures and I have been totally satisfied with the care, the cost and the results. I am happy to do this review because I've had less than positive experiences elsewhere and I hope this review can guide others to a positive experience with Dr. Dovgan and his staff.read more
