Dr. Pine is a kind and competent orthodontist. I saw him once or twice right after moving to State…read moreCollege for graduate school. I had finished ortho treatment in a different city the year before, and had basically endured almost a year of stress as my previous ortho tried to get my retainer and bite correct. By the time I saw Dr. Pine, I was admittedly a bit exhausted, uncomfortable, and freaked out by dental treatment in general. Dr. Pine and his staff were awesome: they listened to my concerns, followed up with my previous ortho, treated me with respect, and most importantly, the doctor adjusted my removable retainer and got me to a comfortable bite in probably less than 6 weeks. They also fixed my bonded lower retainer which had come loose. I remember everyone I encountered -- from reception to chairside assistants to billing -- being just exceptionally nice. To top it off, it's many years later and I'm in the market for a new retainer since the old one wore out. I e-mailed Dr. Pine from across the country to find out if he had any recommendations, since he's now the only ortho I trust and since I can't exactly fly back to Pennsylvania for appointments. Though he didn't know anyone in my neighborhood personally, he did respond warmly and right away with a couple names he'd gotten from his contacts in the field. True professional, genuine person. Would recommend him to anyone.

He also got smart towards me near the end since I needed a fake tooth made in my clear retainers a few times too. He had to make several and the quality of the tooth was terrible. He said "Go somewhere else if you want it better. We straighten teeth, not make retainers.." I'll never forget that. 5-6 years later my over bite is pretty bad and my bottom row of teeth are starting to push forward due to several broken retainers. To top it all off I'm only 23. Thanks!

My braces journey started in August 2019 with my first visit to SCO and Dr Ray for a fact gathering…read moreappointment to investigate my options and the cost of getting braces as an adult. Madison, one of SCO's treatment coordinators, and Dr Ray were friendly and thorough in providing information and answering all our questions. Due to some other large expenses in life at that time we had to put this on the backshelf until November 2021 when we were finally able to move forward with a re-evaluation exam. We were able to schedule my braces to go on February 12, 2022 and surgery with Dr Engroff and Tri- County Oral Facial Surgeons on February 24, 2022. Between the November and February appointments, Madison answered all my silly questions as I hadn't really had anyone close to me recently go through braces so there were a lot of them. She answered each one with patience and kindness. February 12th came along and Tina, the Clinical Coordinator, and Dr Ray put on my braces and we were off to the races. I didn't start getting adjustments until mid March as we had to wait for my surgery and some healing from that before we could get started. But once we did, I was averaging coming in every two weeks and every one of SCO's clinical assistants from Keelie to Sammie to Madi to most recently and often Jordin have been an absolute delight to deal with. They have been compassionate and caring in everything they have done. From the front door and being greeted by Dreu to passing Brittany on the way out. Each member of this team cares about each other and their patients. They make you feel like one of the "family". Dr Ray had estimated I'd be in my braces for 14 months. Knowing each situation is unique, one never knows for sure how long you will be with these new friends. For me, this journey is coming to a close two months earlier than planned. My braces are scheduled to come off February 22nd. SCO has been my social outlet over the past year and I will miss these gals more than words can say. My husband Dave and I are very pleased with the results of this past year and would strongly recommend anyone thinking about getting braces to go meet with Madison and Dr Ray to find out your options.
