What Our Patients Have to Say
"I walked over to Mail Time on 40th Street and Thunderbird to mail a package. The store wasn't due open for 25 minutes. Rather than wait outside in the heat, I asked a staff member at Dr. Dovgan's office if I could sit in their waiting room. In addition to being welcomed into the air-conditioned building, I was treated to an extremely relaxing chair massage. Not being a patient of the dentist, I would like to thank the staff member for this generous gift."
