Dr. Doran is committed to providing his patients with the best possible dental care in a comfortable setting, ensuring that it is easy and drama free for his patients.

Dr. Doran has made his living a lot of different ways over the years, and he is happy being a dentist!
Dr. Doran has a small family, which includes his lovely wife and wonderful daughter, and they live nearby. He has lived and traveled all over America and almost every corner of the world, and he is very happy to make New England his home.

They love to explore historical sites, zoos, aquariums, music, theater, dance, museums, fairs and festivals.
