Dr. McDougal's staff are very professional and make visiting the dentist a much calmer experience! The Dr. has a great chair-side manner and I would definitely recommend this dentist to anyone!

I brought my son to Dr. M. today for the first visit because he was the only dentist I could find that could get a new patient in the same day rather than 2 months out. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the entire experience. The staff made my 9 year old comfortable, and explained everything they did. Dr. M. also mentioned a cavity my son had that his previous dentist wanted to fill: Dr. M. said not to fill it because it was so small and in a baby tooth. This saved me the cost of the filling. I appreciate that he wasn't just out to find billable expenses. However, the cost of the initial visit was quite high; the sealant cost was not included in the list of costs when I made the appointment. Dr. M also recommended that I have my son seen by an orthodontist now, which his previous dentist did not recommend. He was able to give me 5 referrals to pediatric orthodontists, which was nice.
The only complaint I have is that the front desk staff was not very welcoming when we came in. I had to attract their attention to my initial presence, and again when I had completed the papers. But all in all, I was pleased with my experience here, and will take my younger son and probably myself to Dr. M for our cleanings as well.

I brought a problem mouth to Dr. McDougal 40 years ago. I lossed two teeth while in service and received a permanent bridge which proceeded to really mess up my mouth. Dr McDougal designed a removable bridge that has served me very well for a number of years. With his care I have not had a cavity problem the last 15-20 years. He has kept up with all the modern proceedures for tooth care. He recently moved to new offices with all the most up to date equipment .

His work used to be the best in Austin, but it's started to go in a negative direction in the past few years. He has high turnover in staff.
