Douglas Palaganas DDS
At Dr. Doug Orthodontics we have built our practice around a unique practice vision. Due to our economy, orthodontic practices all over our area have been focusing more on the “business” of orthodontics, rather than the “practice” of orthodontics. Dr. Doug believes the focus of a truly successful practice needs to be on the patient.
Our focus is not only on personalized, state-of-the art orthodontic care, but also on providing a top notch patient/family experience. This patient experience depends on Dr. Doug taking the time to get to know his patients and their families, so he can provide the appropriate, individualized care. We want our patients to feel like part of our family. This is not an “assembly-line” type practice where you see the assistants more than you see the doctor.
While Dr. Doug believes in cutting edge diagnostics and treatment; utilizing the lowest dose digital x-rays, no-radiation digital models and the most up to date treatment options, he also believes it is even more important to be readily available to all his patients at every visit, to discuss progress and answer any questions for patients and parents. We strive to “be the best” for our patients, because Dr. Doug believes if we are successful at all the above, that our patients will not only refer others to us, but that they will be our biggest fans, and that they will go out of their way to tell their friends and family about our practice!
Dr. Doug Orthodontics was established with the belief that if we are successful at staying committed to our vision, that the “business” of growing our practice will largely take care of itself, which allows us to continue to spend our time and efforts on our amazing patients and their care!

I chose Dr. Douglas Palaganas, DDS and his orthodontic practice because of the many great Google reviews, and after my consultation for teeth alignment, I can absolutely see why he is so highly rated.
From the moment I walked in, the visit felt thoughtful and thorough—never rushed.
Dr. P truly takes the time to listen to your concerns and goals. He explained the different treatment options in detail and clearly outlined the pros and cons, which made it much easier to understand what might work best for me. He made sure I understood the process, timeline, and expectations before making any decisions.
He uses modern technology and incorporates the latest research into his orthodontic care, which gave me a lot of confidence in the treatment recommendations.
The office also offers flexible payment plans.
I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with him If you want a provider who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping you make the best decision for your smile.

Very nice and professional. Great staff!

I've been searching for an orthodontist for my son for quite some time. When you realize the time and fees you are about to invest, you definitely want to shop around and see what's around. When I first met Dr. Doug, I was impressed by how he explained the treatment process. At this level, I'm assuming most doctors are fairly knowledgeable at what they do. What IS different is how they explain things and how much time they take with you. It may just be me, but I think how they address you is a good reflection on how they're going to be treating your child.
Anyway, my son and I are very happy we decided to go with him for treatment. Unlike a lot of the practices we visited in the area, he truly spent time with my son and didn't shuffle him around from one assistant to another. Thank you for all your help. And to top it all off, he's a diehard Yankee fan!

The staff at Dr. Doug orthodontics are always so friendly band helpful. They are always willing to work with my schedule. Best orthodontist and staff. I am extremely happy I have Dr. Doug as my orthodontist. =)

Dr. Doug came highly recommended to me by my dentist and I can understand why. Dr. Doug is an excellent orthodontist, and a very kind, compassionate person. I feel completely confident in Dr. Doug. I am not his usual patient-I am 72 yrs old and needing to see an orthodontist at this time in life was unusual. I <3 Dr. Doug!
MHVerified patient
Dr. Doug is one of the best doctor's I have been to. He takes his time and explains everything he is doing so you are always informed. He makes communicating with the office a breeze because he is always available by email as well as phone. His staff is always helpful and smiling. He for sure makes the experience nice and easy.
SRVerified patient
Dr. Doug makes it his priority to give his patient's the best care possible. The times that I have gone to him, I haven't been in the waiting room for long, and my appointment have not felt rushed at all. He sits with you and explains everything step by step. If you have any questions or concerns he is very easy to reach. When he is not in his office you can email him and get a response within hours. I also appreciate the one on one care he offers to his patients.
