Absolutely the best dental practice I have visited. From entering to leaving it was exceptional. All of the staff is friendly, personable and professional. I have been visiting dentists for years and this was, by far, the best! My 13 year old was very hesitant about braces. Not anymore, thanks to Dr. Purnell and his staff. Thank you for showing me what GREAT looks like!

Wonderful experience. We chose Dr. Purnell out of the three places we got opinions and couldn't be happier with our experience. Several of our friends also see him and feel the same way. My daughter's oral surgeon also had good things to say about Dr. Purnell. Wonderful staff! At least check them out!

Oh my GOD, this place is amazing, I can’t emphasize that enough. The staff is so freaking amazing, I was blown away and the level of customer service they have is off the charts. The energy is so high, welcoming, and genuine....
I think I love this place and found a new home forever. Kandi, Gina, and Brittany are like angels. I was recommended by a current customer and I totally see why she referred me. Truly blessed to have come across such outstanding individuals. The atmosphere is awesome and the place is so clean and well kept. #1 orthodontist in SC hands down.
