“I love being a dentist! I think patients love it here because we’ve been able to create a place where they feel at home, where friendships start and grow, and where everyone gets the unhurried attention they deserve. No pressure. No stress. No worries.”
Enjoys reading, scary movies, golfing, and spending time with his wife (Dr. Carr) and their two kids, Gemma and Everett.
Dr. McDougall is proud to serve the Mt. Gilead and Morrow County communities. A native of nearby Mt. Vernon, Ohio, she grew up immersed in small-town values, actively participating in 4-H, showing horses, playing sports, and engaging with her church. These early experiences instilled in her a strong sense of community and a passion for providing exceptional dental care in rural America.
After earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, Dr. McDougall opened her own practice in Marysville, Ohio. For over 20 years, she delivered high-quality dental care while balancing the demands of raising a family, supporting a husband with an international travel schedule, and caring for aging parents. She briefly stepped away from practice ownership for two years, but her dedication to rural dentistry called her back, inspiring her to establish Morrow County Dental—her lifelong dream realized.
In 2020, Dr. McDougall once again paused her practice to care for her husband, Tom, during his battle with oral cancer. With Tom now in full remission, she has returned to dentistry with renewed passion, joining Dugas Dental to help patients achieve healthy, confident smiles.
Known for her gentle touch, warm demeanor, and unwavering commitment to patient care, Dr. McDougall is beloved by her patients. Her dedication to community service and personalized, comprehensive care makes her a trusted and cherished member of the dental community.
