Took my kids to a couple places. They feel in love with Dr. Faunce. Her staff is amazing. She is kind and very straight forward and knowledgeable. If you don't wanna be treated like a number come check out this office! So glad we came and shopped around.

This is my third time with braces, and my first time with Dr. Faunce. I wish that I had come to her from the start. Everyone in her St. Augustine office is so welcoming and personable. It's not often that I go to a place where I am greeted by name; it makes the experience that much better. I am so pleased with my new smile and I feel greater confidence than I did before.

Both my daughter and I saw Dr. Faunce. We were transfer patients and welcomed us with open arms and took very good care of us. The staff was wonderful especially to my daughter who is only 9 which was VERY important to me! The assistant that took care of her was the sweetest, most gentle young lady. She had a way of calming any fears my daughter ever had. Front end was always wonderful and super accommodating. We'll definitely be back for her phase 2 treatment.

Dr. Faunce is friendly and seems to be good but I have only seen her once. My daughters brackets have fallen off numerous times and when I complained, the staff tried to blame it on my daughter. Matter of fact, the last time we were in, my daughter told me Dr. Faunce again tried to talk my daughter into admitting it was her fault the brackets fell off. We have literally had to replace almost every bracket in the first 6 months. It's very inconvenient and I wished we had chosen another orthodontist. Brackets should not just fall off, that is different than breaking from hard candy.

Dr Faunce is an AMAZING ,compassionate,true professional in every sense of the word. I have had braces with her and being an adult she has helped me get my smile to where I want it to be . This was my second time having braces and the difference in techniques are night and day from the 90s . The service Dr Faunce and her excellent trained staff provides is of the highest degree. They have always listened to all my concerns and have adjusted my braces and eventually the retainer as many times as I asked when i thought something was off. Dr Faunce is also very affordable ! but most of all she is kind and will listen to you and you can tell her office respects and loves her as do her patients !
