My husband and daughter went today for consultation and we were very pleased with the staff and Dr. She took time to explain things to us and what she recommended. She also was very knowledgeable about my daughter's genetic condition, where she is missing teeth. Looking forward to getting braces for my girl.

I went to Dr. Jen after having my daughter and pregnancy taking its toll on my teeth. Dr. Jen and her staff did a wonderful job and gave me back my smile. Now, here we are 12 years later and we're back with Dr. Jen, for her to help my daughter's already beautiful smile, even more beautiful! I wouldn't trust her smile to anyone else!

Dr. Jen and her staff go above and beyond to ensure the ortho experience is exceptional for each and every patient. Both of my boys were/are Dr. Jen's patients and we would never think of going anywhere else! I travel 50 miles each visit to go to the best orthodontist in the county!!

Dr Jen and her staff have been absolutely amazing during the process of 2 kids with braces. We've got a big family and her staff has played with my 3 year old during visits, helped calm fears in my 9 year old, made my 12 year old build her confidence again. The whole staff is amazing.

Dr. Jen Ortho was by far the BEST office I had been to while getting consultations & interviewing doctors for my own braces, and my son. I learned of her through co workers a few years ago, and after going to what felt like a million orthodontists on the beach, once I had my consult with Dr. Jen, I knew her and her office were the best fit for myself and family. I felt so comfortable, so at ease, that each and every appointment I have (every 6 weeks, my son will be in treatment soon, so we'll take even more trips then) I drive almost an hour from Murrells Inlet to her office. Yep. An hour. I could have just as easily gotten just about the same quote, & had a much shorter commute to my appointments ... but no other office treated me the way Dr. Jen & her staff did. I love it there, & I wouldn't be comfortable trusting anyone else with myself or my children's Orthodontics! Thanks Dr. Jen!
