Community Involvement
Since our opening in May of 2019, Dr. Doug and his team at District Dental Spa have strived to offer the residents of New Orleans a superior option when it comes to dental care & spa services. Patient comfort, quality of care, and a harmonious environment are our top priorities at our contemporary location.
In addition to providing quality care to his patients, one of Dr. Doug’s top priorities is to create a positive impact in society and improve lives, one person at a time. Dr. Doug is a proud member of the LGBTQ community and is committed to helping support veterans, members of the BIPOC community, LGBTQ+ and other minority groups that often face disproportionate inequities in care because he knows that healthy communities are essential to everybody’s success.
Organizations we help support include:
Project Lazarus / Halloween New Orleans – Donor
The mission of the Hosts of Halloween New Orleans is to provide funding for Project Lazarus, a home in New Orleans for men and women with AIDS, so that they may provide healthcare and support services for their residents.
Dr. Doug is a proud support of Project Lazarus and has provided donations and silent auction items that help go towards Project Lazarus.
Stonewall Sports New Orleans – Silver Sponsor
Stonewall Sports New Orleans brings together members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies to play kickball, dodgeball, volleyball, bowling, trivia, yoga, and running club.

Having cancer is hard. Getting treatment shouldn’t have to be.

Dr. Doug is a firm believer that mentorship is crucial to the success of young adults in the community of New Orleans. That is why he continues to donate and is a proud supporter of Live Oak Camp.
