I have to share a story about James McNamara. My daughter was five and her bite was crooked and... had chipped one of her baby teeth. So I went to McNamara Orthodontics for a free consultation. It ended up that she had an extreme underbite. Dr. McNamara asked my daughter if she liked popsicles. So instead of having to spend a lot of money on headgear she had a popsicle every night when we read books and the popsicle stick helped to push her jaw in the right place. That is just one thing that makes their practice so great! Both my children now have their braces off and have beautiful smiles.read more

I have been a patient at McNamara Orthodontics for roughly 2.5 years. Even with the challenges of... COVID and living in South Carolina for roughly half of that time, my experience has never been short of exceptional. The staff are always professional, accommodating, and friendly. I am approaching the end of my treatment and could not be happier with the results!read more

Perfect experience with McNamera for my daughter’s braces. My dentist recommended I switch to them... when our original orthodontist was taking more of a wait and see approach, she thought my daughter would benefit from earlier intervention. At the initial meeting, they laid out both options and the pros and cons - treatment now or wait. We decided to start early and she just finished summer before 8th grade - teeth look great. They made sure we understood every step of the process and always laid out what options we had and provided explanations on why they would choose a certain course. Both Dr.’s are great with kids and extremely knowledgeable. Their list of credentials, published papers, and the teaching they do at UM made me know we were getting the best and most well-informed care.read more

The professionalism and friendliness of the entire McNamara Orthodontics team is outstanding! ... Dr.'s Jim, Laurie and their entire staff provide excellent care in a friendly and respectful way. All aspects of the appointment processes are organized, efficient and they are so respectful of ones time. As a fellow dental professional, these are just a few of the reasons why I have been referring patients to McNamara Orthodontics over the years. And when the time came for my children to start ortho treatment there was no question who I wanted to provide this care for them! I'm so grateful to work with this amazing team!read more

I have been so pleased with the service and outcomes of the orthodontia work done for both of my... kids. They were both complex cases and required a few different stages of treatment. The team at McNamara are so professional, organized, and efficient. They’ve treated us so respectfully, with kindness and transparency in all ways. Particularly with COVID situation, they didn’t miss a beat and implemented safety protocols right away and kept the treatment schedule on track. Now that both kids are done I’m thinking of getting my own bite straightened out with them! Thank you to Laurie and the entire staff at McNamara!read more
