About Maginnis Orthodontics - Pooler
A calming, conservative approach from Dr. Andrew Macdonald draws a good number of teens for braces, with same-day consultations sometimes turning straight into treatment starts.
Reviews describe Dr. Andrew Macdonald as a listener with a measured, conservative treatment philosophy, and several mention appointments that move from consultation straight to braces placement in a single visit. Teens make up a notable share of the patient base, alongside families managing several kids in treatment and a few adults. Staff are often described as warm, including bilingual team members, and several parents note the office helping anxious children feel ready for braces. A handful of reviews mention wait times running long and difficulty reaching the office by phone.

The tram here was AMAZING! We haven’t had the best of luck with dentist due to my daughter’s anxiety toward doctors. But this team made her feel comfortable and excited for her braces! They took the time to really explain to her what every tool was used for and the process they take. Incredible services! Def 10 out of 10 HIGHLY recommend!
