Education & Continuing Education
Dr. Doug grew up in Winslow, Maine, in a supportive family that encouraged him to be actively involved in the community. He began working in dentistry as a teenager, assisting in his father’s practice, and has been part of the dental field ever since. Dr. Doug attended Colby College in Waterville, ME, and graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Policy. He then continued his education at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, earning his Doctorate of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.). Graduating Summa Cum Laude, he was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon (OKU) national dental honor society and was awarded the prestigious ADA Foundation Scholarship, two OKU Scholarships, and two awards for ethics and professionalism, among others.
After completing dental school in 2009, Dr. Doug practiced dentistry in his hometown of Waterville, ME, at the Community Dental Center, where he served uninsured and under-insured patients in a public health setting. After a year, he returned to Tufts University for a residency in orthodontics, completing his program in 2012.
Dr. Doug is deeply committed to continuing education, traveling across the country and internationally to attend advanced courses. His focus is on using efficient treatments and modern mechanics that improve his patients’ experience, while providing ideal functional and cosmetic outcomes. In 2013, Dr. Doug was honored by his peers, being elected President of the Midcoast Dental Society, a position he held for 12 years. His commitment to excellence is further reflected in his decision to become Board Certified by the American Board of Orthodontics in 2017, an honor achieved by only 30% of orthodontists at the time.

Outside the Office
Dr. Doug's love for Maine and the outdoors has been a constant throughout his life. He has always been passionate about athletics and community service.

He continues this tradition with his sons, reigniting his passion for the sport.
Dr. Doug also volunteers as a ski coach for the Camden Rockport Middle School ski team, where his sons are team members. It is one more way he stays connected to the community and shares his love for the sport with local families.
