Our Staff
Welcome to our practice and thank you for choosing us to provide your dental care. Your health and comfort is our primary concern.

We make every effort to help overcome these problems.
Dr. James R. Donley is a 1967 graduate of the University of Detroit School of Dentistry. He is a native of Muskegon, and returned home after graduation to begin his dental practice. He firmly believes in the practice of preventive dentistry and tries to educate his patients so that they will have no cavities. Dr. Donley has long been an advocate of stressing techniques to prevent gum disease and with his hygienists have attended seminars to develop his "People Without Perio" program. His three children are good examples of his teachings, as not one of them have ever had any cavities and they are now adults. He enjoys the high tech side of his profession and loves to create great smiles.
