I went to Dr. Hodges for a consultation 2 years ago to see if they could help with my teeth that were shifting, I was 60 years old and not sure if that was too old to start orthodontics. Dr. Hodges and her team were so welcoming that first day and every visit since. I decided to go with Invisalign, and could not be happier with the results! Every person in this practice is great! They work together as a team and are always helping each other, which is so nice to see. Niget, who just retired, even gave me her cell number during Covid just in case I had any questions. Thank you to the whole team

Not recommended. Two experiences that sum up my experience:
1) I no longer have braces but I have a piece of braces wire lodged in my cheek that an oral surgeon didn't want to remove because it's too close to a nerve. Not only that, but the oral surgeon I saw is part of a dental practice owned by Dr. Hodges. Yet I had to pay and waste time out of my day to see him so he could (unsuccessfully) attempt to fix an issue caused by the practice's own negligence.
2) This is not a practice that knows how to work with adults. At some point, they (incorrectly) assumed that I'm a tongue

I go out of my way by about an hour, to come here instead of going to someone else. The staff is always helpful and a pleasure to work with, especially the front office Women. Amazing work, great communication and flexibility. Great price and payment plans available. All 3 of my sons go here and I would highly recommend them. Thanks!

I have only good things to say about this place. The entire place is so beautiful and comfortable, sometimes they have amazingly scented candles burning. The staff is always friendly and everything is just made so easy when you’re in there. At my first appointment I was evaluated by Dr. Hodges and everything was explained very clearly in regards to time frame, what would be done, and billing. They also gave a sweet little gift when my braces were taken off. I’m so glad I picked this orthodontist.

I usually do not post. But today I experienced above and beyond. When a patient is not happy you are suppose to care and find out why . Don’t just chalk it off to: oh well it is what it is. Today someone took the time to ask me what was wrong and how could they make it right Thank you for making me feel that my smile matters when I know their is way more important things going on in the world trust me. Thanks for caring ❤️ To the entire staff

Dr. Hodges was amazing throughout the whole 7 years of my treatment. She always told me what she was doing and the goal for when I came back the next time. 7 years later my teeth are perfect and straight. The front desk staff and the ladies who work on you are the sweetest people ever. Thank you Dr. Hodges and your amazing staff.

A Pristine professional environment with highly intellectual astute skilled professional staff.
Dr Hodges is the most professionally superb doctor that I have encountered in all my 72 years of this present life.
She is personable and renders you service that is noticeably heart felt with a warm and sincere energy that leaves you feeling extra and… individually special.
There is one practitioner, “Shaleemha” she is an outstanding, top of the class “DOPE” in the profession. She explains from A to Z without a pause your orthodontic treatment. In her explanation to you

Usually doctors and dental appointments aren’t things people look forward too, but I enjoyed every visit with this office! The staff is super friendly and always does what is in the best interest of the client.
My mom brought me to Dr. Hodges when I was 9 years old for an expander, and came back on my own for my braces treatment 11 years later. They were always adamant about helping me and making sure that they followed up with the various insurance companies I dealt with during my treatment, to make sure they could minimize my out of pocket expenses; as well as ensuring my monthly payments

Had braces since November and no movement.
Significant or otherwise.
Was told a myriad of things at the beginning of this process that have not panned out thus far even though there have been multiple mishaps (COVID being the major one). I can't help but feel that I was told anything to secure my signature and monthly payment. The women at the office are nice though. They are pleasant and the facility is clean. Necessary precautions have been taken in the wake of this pandemic and that I can appreciate. The lack of cohesive communication is something I am unhappy with. I basically have brackets

Dr. Hodges and her team, hands down, are absolutely amazing! The staff is very professional and informative yet warm and friendly. Thanks to them I now have a beautiful smile and a confidence that I was missing before. In a little over two years, Dr. Hodges was able to straighten my badly crooked teeth and give me a smile I have today. Just seeing… Dr. Hodges every visit would brighten my day; she’s so elegant, highly knowledgable, and so pleasant to work with. I highly recommend Kellyn Hodges Orthodontics to anyone who is planning on getting braces! You will not regret it!!!

Ive had braces as a child. Each appt should not take 2 hours!!!! We are almost done our treatment but if i had to do it again I wouldnt.
They must overbook and corrale patients into the back waiting area, so as not to crowd the front waiting room.
At my most recent visit (2hrs again) the girl at checkout was on the phone in midst of giving me the next appt. I stood there waiting, over 5minutes, right in front of her, midtransaction!, she kept on the phone and i left. Um hello, arent you supposed to put the phone customer on hold and wait on the customer right in front of you???

I am a returning patient of Dr. Hodges'. Although I am back, it is only as I did not follow the strict instructions of Dr. Hodges (keeping the retainers on at night). I went to Dr. Hodges as an adolescent and am now returning as an adult. Dr. Hodges always demonstrate professionalism and might I mention I left with the PERFECT smile! I am retuning to her practice as I trust her judgments and have been referring patients to her for over 18 years. This is one of the best Orthodontics practices in the tri-state area. Continue the great service and keep those beautiful smiles coming! Thank you

This orthodontist claims to offer you a "no strings" free consultation. Free means you don't pay and just get information right?? Not at Dr. Hodges City Ave office!! They will bring you in, show you a waiting area, show an exhibit of toothbrushes sitting on a sink and then take x-rays. Afterwards the "free consultation" is based on the $149.00 x-rays you took. After the consultation you will be taken to see the Office Manager who will kindly charge you for the x-rays. Don't fall for it!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!

So, I got braces today. This is my second time around; I had the other braces from an ortho out of state.
I am going to post periodic reviews, as I was very impressed and I'm curious to see if it will be short lived.
I was referred to this practice by 3 different individuals, so I decided to give it a go. I have a large gap between my two front teeth, and I was not given a permanent retainer after my original braces. Needless to say it opened back up, and I would like the "perfect" smile since I am not satisfied with the way my current smile photographs.
So, I scheduled

I can't disagree with the previous reviewer more. This is for the Bala Cynwyd office anyway. The staff there are so friendly. You can tell they've been working there for a long time because they interacted so well with each other and all of the patients. I was excited to come for my monthly visits. Every one knew me and always seemed to remember what was going on in my life.

The office staff is not compassionate and only care about money. They are rude, inconsiderate and do not communicate. They act as though they hate their lives and their jobs. The only staff members that are nice are the poor techs that have to care for your teeth. I only met Dr. Hodges once which was during my consult. Do not go here or you will be treated like garbage!

I went to the Montgomeryville location starting 2001 and had my braces in for about 2 1/2 years. I had a slight underbite so basically she pulled my bottom teeth in to give me an overbite. In doing that, my bottom front and side gums receded a lot (I was not told that this would be a side effect). I had to get some bottom side teeth pulled (per Dr. Hodges) before getting the braces, so that's why the gums on the side receded.
During every visit, she always rushed through and never really told me what was going on. I guess since I was an adult and there wasn't a parent there asking questions
