Wow! This office is absolutely amazing. Truly. Everyone is so friendly and you can tell they genuinely love to be there. The office is so chill and inviting. Dr. Jernigan makes you feel so comfortable and explains things in such detail that you feel very informed when you leave your consultation. He doesnt throw a bunch of medical jargon at you. My first appointment I got the pleasure of working with Courtney. She is so sweet and I hope to see her again during future visits.

Reached out to this office after having a bad experience with the first office referred too. (Very popular Dr.). This office was a breath of fresh air.We were treated as if my teenager was the only patient there. Staff was amazing and Dr. Took so much time with us explaining what needed to be done. Most importantly, discussing $ was not the first thing brought up, unlike the first practice. I can’t write a review without mentioning the decor. The Halloween decor was incredible. I’m told they go all out for the holidays. Can’t wait to see the theme for Christmas. Highly recommend this group.

Dr. J. has taken great care of my two sons. When they prepare for an appointment, they are not nervous or anxious. When my oldest got his braces off, voila! A perfect smile and one that lasts forever. I dont have to worry about the care and comfort my sons receive. Thank you to Dr. J and his wonderful staff!

Wonderful place! You can truly see how much Dr Jernigan cares for each of his patients. His staff are friendly, I’m sure it’s a great place to work and a great person to work for. Both my boys have been seen by him and my daughter will be next. I have complete confidence to send my boys in during this pandemic and know they are well taken care of while I wait in the car….I can be alittle overprotective.

Hands down the most absolute best Orthodontist in this State! If I could review him in other states, he would still get 5 stars!! He truly loves and cares about his patients and his employees, you can see him light up as soon as he sees them! His office is always AMAZING and he is never in a rush to get you out! He takes his time with each patient and really gets to know them. So far, 1/3 kids have gotten braces, but I can assure you we will be going back if the other 2 need them!! We love Dr. Jernigan and his entire team!!

My son, Cristian, loves Dr. Jernigan and his staff. Everyone is so polite and warm. Always willing to go above and beyond your needs. I love that once they are done with the patient they walk out with them and update you on their progress. The themes for the office is absolutely amazing, not to mention it is always so clean inside. I recommend this experience and office to anyone! I appreciate Dr. Jernigan and his staff!

I personally love Dr. Jernigan and his team of amazing orthodontists. The work place is clean and is always decorated to fit a holiday or them for the month. they have challenges that you can participate in and win rewards and you can get things just for showing up to your appointments. Dr. Jernigan orthodontists is a great place to get braces and I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a orthodontist.

Everyone here is very friendly and put in a lot of effort into their work. The building always has a different theme to it which makes it exciting to see what it will look like next time you visit. I have already recommended a friend to come here and I will definitely be recommending many more.

Great experience so far with Dr. Jernigan and his staff. They are always friendly and great with my preteen. Love their clean and decorated office themes. It makes a not so fun thing like orthodontics more enjoyable for my preteen. My son will soon be a patient there as well.

My daughter actually really enjoys visiting the office -- she loves the changing themes and the friendly staff. I appreciate that the pricing seemed fair for her braces, the staff are so friendly and willing to help with anything that we might need, from school excuses to extra wax, to even offering to take the wires off for her regular dental cleaning if our dentist preferred that.

Review №19

Easy and friendly check in, and prompt to begin the consultation. They had time after the consult to go ahead and put braces on the top teeth. They explained the payment process and gave multiple options for monthly payments based on amount of down payment. They sent me a picture while she was in the chair smiling having the brackets placed. Very satisfied with their service, all around.

I had braces when I was in high school, so, that being said I have a bit of understanding of how this works. I went in for my Initial Consultation and was very impressed with how quickly Dr. Jernigan was able to come in and review where things stand for me and show me exactly where the problem is and what will and what wont work.

My son is in love with the whole staff here! They are really nice and help always. Everyone is knowledgeable and is willing to share that knowledge. This place is very efficiently run. More health care facilities should follow their example. The processes are designed to respect the patient and the patients time. The office is beautiful and clean! I love a clean place. Our entire two year experience from getting braces to today getting them taken off has been great. From education to billing to resolving pain or issues its been seamless! We say thank to the entire Jernigan organization! Keep being great!!!

We have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Jernigan and the J Team throughout the two years our son had his braces. The staff was always professional and very informative about the entire process and our sons oral care. The office is always decorated nicely and you can tell that the staff take great pride in all that they do. Even for his appointments during the COVID-19 pandemic everything was organized and well thought out for the safety of the staff and patients. Our son recently had his braces removed and his teeth look great! I would definitely recommend Jernigan Orthodontics for all your orthodontic needs!

Dr. Jernigan and his team are outstanding and very professional. My daughter had a consultation for braces, he helped us make the right decision for my daughter. He is very knowledgeable, he takes a common sense approach and he spent time with us which which goes a long way with me. I feel confident that he will give my daughter an outstanding experience that will deliver results. The office is amazing and his team makes you feel very welcomed. 5 STARS for sure!

Jernigan orthodontics makes getting braces fun and special! As you walk in, you are greeted with a sign that has your child’s name on it! Check in is a breeze. They have a wonderful waiting area for the kids (complete with games and a movie area). For the adults, they have coffee and bottled water. They also have a brushing station where your child can brush their teeth before going back for their appointment. As cool as the waiting area is, you are never there for long because this place is a well-oiled machine. They are efficient here! All of the staff members are nice and gentle. Dr. Jernigan is fun and knowledgeable. You couldn’t ask for a nicer, more relatable orthodontist. When all is said and done, you get to take a “just got braces” or “braces off” picture. On top of all this amazingness, they are affordable and offer a rewards system to keep you/your child accountable. Basically, we love them and highly recommend them. Why on EARTH would you go somewhere else?

Dr. Jernigan is the absolute best to go to for orthodontics! Aside from the fun staff, themed motivation for patients to maintain excellent care of their teeth, and a warm inviting environment, his expertise is beyond the norm. My 4th child has braces on from this practice and the care plans and attention to detail are excellent.Don’t stop to examine any other orthodontic place for your braces- head straight to Dr. J, you will not be disappointed!!

Dr. Jernigan and every one of his staff are wonderful! They make you feel comfortable and “at home” while at the same time, they are extremely qualified, professional, and educated. They are all great at communicating what exactly they’re doing and why. No intimidation or worries ever when we go there! I love that they offer complimentary waters and coffees and hot chocolates to their customers. You feel valued and cared for here. So glad Dr. Jernigan is the Orthodontist for both of my girls!I just have to give another fabulous review of this Orthodontist and his wonderful staff! My daughter had to reschedule her appointment to get her braces off due to sickness. But she had a dance coming up that she really wanted to have her braces off for. The front office staff went above and beyond to give us an appointment as soon as they had a cancellation to ensure that she got her braces off in time for the dance! Ill be sending Dr. Jernigan and his staff pictures of my daughter at her dance with a heart full of deep appreciation!
