Dr. Doug was born and raised in Haledon, NJ, one of three sons to Rich, a milkman, and Lois, a church organist. He married his Calvin College sweetheart, Patti, one week after graduation, and one month later, started dental school at UMDNJ (now Rutgers Dental school). After graduation, he did one year General Dentistry Residency at Bergen Regional Medical Center, after which he opened up his own practice in Midland Park, in 1981. Along the way, hes had four great kids, Eric, Adam, Jaclyn and Joel, three beautiful daughter-in-laws, Kimberly, Karen, and Anna, and three grandchildren (so far) all of whom he considers his greatest blessings. He has always enjoyed sports, food, gardening and laughing with friends. Throughout his career, hes been able to volunteer time to short-term medical-team missions to Central America, and has always had a love & dedication to the church and its ability to help people in need. Dr. Doug considers his patients his friends and has always preferred a first-name basis to titles and formalities. The best part of his dental career has always been the relationships he has had with his outstanding staff and so many wonderful patients.

Exceptional Service

Exceptional service, as usual. Everyone at the office is extremely friendly, helpful, and defines what true professionalism is. I will never see another dentist or hygienist besides Eric and Anna ever again.

Six Stars

Veenstra Family Dental practice is a well-tuned instrument. The team hits all the right notes for friendliness, efficiency, reassurance, satisfactory answers to concerns, professionalism, and comfortable, pristine surroundings. And it's all preformed flawlessly. This was my first appointment of what I know will be many more to satisfy my dental health needs. Next, I'm getting my wife there too. I wish I could rate this place six stars.

My visit was a breeze

The hygienist, Nancy, had excellent technique. Very precise, efficient and gentle. I don't think I got any spray on my face at all. Best cleaning I ever got. It was a pleasure to meet Dr. Eric for the first time who is friendly and knowledgeable. For an early morning appointment, everyone at the office was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. My visit was a breeze. i highly recommend.

SO Nice

I actually love going to the dentist!! Everyone is SO nice :)
I like them so much that I cancelled my dental insurance since they are out of network and I don't want to change providers.
