Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The Best Orthodontist & Practice in the Midlands!
Dr. JERNIGAN & STAFF consistently provide EXCEPTIONAL services each time my daughter visit. Our first encounter was very warm, friendly and personable. From our first encounter, my daughter and I was so impressed with the practice' creative, beautiful, Movie & Disney like environment and friendliness; we were immediately excited and comfortable continuing her orthodontist journey with this practice. Dr. Jernigan and his team was so thoughtful, kind and personable with my daughter at the a recent visit following a really bad accident she experienced during the holidays last year. His genuine concern, personal connection and relatable experience shared with my daughter really warmed our hearts. Their acts of kindness and care shown during this particular visit was so encouraging and uplifting for my daughter. If you are looking for a professional, caring, friendly and pleasant environment, this is the practice you definitely need to choose for your orthodontist and dental needs.

Great staff and evaluation time
From the minute I walked in the door, until I walked out of the door I could not have been more pleased with the service and Dr. Jernigan and his staff. They were all so professional and courteous making sure to answer all my questions and make me feel appreciated. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking orthodontic treatment.

A true professional
Dr Jernigan and his staff are very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. Every staff member cares about their patients and ensures the comfort of everyone. Dr Jernigan has been seeing my family for years, and unlike some 'professionals' out there, he doesn't want to put your kid in braces unless they truly have a need. It's not about money with Dr Jernigan, it's about caring for the patient and making the best choices for them. I appreciate the care and compassion we experience with Dr Jernigan and I recommend his office to every parent I speak with!

New to office
I love the continued attention showed to each individual child. Courteous receptionist, clean office, and the kids game room is a plus while they wait. Walking into Jarasic Park is a kid friendly touch. Im please with the environment and staff.

Profesional and caring
Dr. Jernigan and his entire staff are the pinnacle of professional and knowledgeable. Their facility is state of the art and very organized. They also have themed decorating through out that make the place very fun to visit. Everyone that works there is very polite and genuinely care about what you are there for. I also like how organized and structured Dr. Jernigan is. He seamlessly moves from client to client addressing the needs of your visit and working with his skilled staff as they efficiently provide care. I'm very happy my dentist referred me to Dr. Jernigan.

Amazing
Amazing personalities with all staff. Fantastic work with braces, questions, follow ups, calling back, scheduling, the works. The very first appointment for Xrays and a plan was more then I expected. My daughter was scared and came out laughing. They go above and beyond. Honestly cant ask for more.
