A Dream Come True
In 2018 Dr. John Sledge and his wife Cora purchased the Dentistry by Design Sister Bay practice from Dr. Paul Feit (who had owned it since 2012). Although the practice is new hands, it has remained a priority to deliver high quality dental care in a compassionate, patient focused environment. During their time here in Door County, The Sledges have supported the community in several ways, giving back to the village, county and state parks, the local schools, and several arts & culture programs.
“My wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed setting down roots and becoming a part of this great community! Exploring the Peninsula's great restaurants, theaters and outdoor activities has been incredibly rewarding. Already within the last few years, we have been able to forge long-lasting relationships in the community and our proud to call Sister Bay home.” – Dr. John Sledge.

Our Core Values
Integrity, Honesty, Compassion, Gratitude, and Exceptionality- our core values are central to serving you.
Our patients and team feel that Dentistry by Design is a special place. We believe there are two reasons for this feeling, and they are what set us apart from other dental practices. One is our core values and the other is the commitments we live by. We welcome you to give us feedback on how well we do honoring both.
Integrity
We only recommend appropriate treatment options and perform treatments that are in your long-term interest for improved health, function, and esthetics. We stand behind our work and follow up to make sure you are satisfied with treatment.
Honesty
We abide by the simple and basic principle of doing what is best for our patient at all times. We are committed to creating an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect.
Compassion
Putting the patient first with the care that we adopt with our own family and friends. Our goal is to earn your trust and confidence over time. We have overcome fears of MANY patients with compassion, even hand holding if necessary.
Gratitude
Being grateful for each other, for our patients, for our work, for our abilities, and for what we have been given; showing others appreciation
Exceptionality
We value excellence and innovation, with a commitment to continuing education and the implementation of the latest techniques and procedures—all the while using only the finest dental materials available.
