I cannot say enough good things about this office! The whole staff is amazing, you can tell they actually care about their patients. Very compassionate, if you are in any kind of pain, they will do their absolute best to make sure you get the care that you need. This is going to be a long one, but very well deserved. Now Dr. Langley....he has to be the best doctor/person I have ever met. I was calling every ortho office I could find and every one of them were telling me they didn't have anything open for a week plus. (This was my first experience with TMD and I didn't know what was going on) As soon as they told Dr. Langley what was going on with me, he said "tell her to come now." As soon as I got there, Hannah, took me back to his office and let me know it might be a minute. She asked if I wanted anything to drink, she asked how I was doing, she was so attentive! When I met Dr. Langley, he was so empathetic about my situation. He ended up being able to reset my jaw in place manually...not once, but TWICE. My jaw ended up locking up again this week and I had to go back for him to reset it again. Same amazing service as when I was there the first time. They fitted me for a mouth splint, and it will be ready this Friday. (They fitted me for it this Tuesday.) I am beyond grateful that I was able to stumble upon this amazing organization. After he reset my jaw the first time, he reached out to me personally the next day to check in and see how I was doing. When I say the first day I met them, it was probably one of the worst days of my life because I had other things going on on top of everything else. Dr. Langley and his staff turned that day all the way around for me, and all I can say it God knows what you need and when you need it. I am so thankful that God sent me to this Orthodontic office, I can't be more grateful for that! If you need any kind of orthodontic work done, go to South Alabama Orthodontics, I promise you absolutely won't regret it!
I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Hastings and his entire staff. They are pleasantly accommodating and have made this process extremely easy to navigate. My daughter's teeth have turned out beautifully! Thank you all for being so kind and for making this such a wonderful experience for her.
My first visit was absolutely amazing !! The whole staff is sweet and amazing, I love how fast they are working to get my smile back!! I finshed my treatment and I am absolutely obsessed! They are literally very understanding and compassionate about you and your smile, trying to make sure you are happy. They go step by step with every process I would recommend them as the #1 best orthodontist in the world! Please give Dr. Hastings and his crew A chance you will never regret it. I love you guys ! Thank you for making me feel confident again in my smile
Dr. Hastings is honest, kind and amazing at what he does. He will not waste your time or money. It is refreshing to find an orthodontist who tells you the complete truth. My daughter was in braces for 3 1/2 years and her teeth turned out absolutely beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a better orthodontist!
Our daughter’s teeth look amazing. I cannot say enough good about Dr. Hastings and his staff. They are FANTASTIC! The entire office is very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Hastings attention to detail is undeniably the greatest. Nothing but five stars for the BEST orthodontist in town!
