I did not have a good experience. This was an extremely long process in which I still am not happy with my smile nor experience. I struggled with tongue thrust which was mentioned during my consultation and I was advised that it could be treated. In all I would say I had braces for 6-7 years. With a new set applied year 4 or 5. I was not happy once the braces were removed and a permanent retainer was placed on the bottom teeth. Dr. McDermott himself is kind however I cannot say the same for some of the staff on his team.

The staff has always been nice and charming to me. The only down side I can truly say is scheduling is absolutely awful! They are booked CONSTANTLY so if you break a bracket or a wire you won’t get seen for at least a month. It’s so hard to get a appointment here.

The McDermott’s office is cheerful and calm. The hygienists are all friendly and helpful. Everyone is very patient with any questions you may have, even ones that the patient’s nervous brain (my brain) may have forgotten. Thank you McDermott orthodontist group for taking the fear out of going to the dentist.

For my 1st appointment I met with Debbie. Who I believe is the office manager I’m not quite clear on her role. She was giving my daughter and myself information regarding Invisalign or metal/wire braces. My daughter of course had to have metal braces. She had no problems with her braces. They were placed perfectly and she’s never had any major complaints besides the rubber bands popping off and tearing. However, Debbie told me a ton of negative things about Invisalign. Such as patients have returned them several times because they get tired of taking them in and out of their mouths. They stain

Love this office and the staff! We visit the Florissant office, and I think we need complimentary wine for parents, while we wait! 🤣 🥂 🍷

My oldest son and I both received treatment at McDermott Orthodontics and had a WONDERFUL experience!! I am a mother of 3, a nursing student, and I work at 2 hospitals but somehow the office always managed to find appointment times to meet my needs(and they were flexible on the occasions that I had to reschedule). The Dr is absolutely amazing and our results exceeded my expectations! In addition, the office staff is equally as talented and charming as the Dr and they spent time truly getting to know my family. I am 100% confident that I will be taking my younger sons to see them again when the

Just got my braces on yesterday by Jess who Is great! She made me feel comfortable and she did a great job! This place has a lot more smiling faces like her too. Everyone literally greets you with a smile or a hello. However I didn’t care for the First Lady who spoke with me. She answers the phone and stuff she was just not the same as everyone else. She doesn’t seem genuinely happy with her job. She’s kind of rude and not friendly like EVERYONE else. But I don’t let just one person ruin it for everyone else. I’d just steer clear of her. She’s a real Debbie downer. I don’t know about

I went on consultation after consultation and just could not find an orthodontist that made me feel comfortable and confident about getting braces. I was ready to give up on my search when I decided to try one last orthodontist, Dr. McDermott.! I am more than impressed with this crew and I recommend them 110%! They make the whole experience fun and exciting. I look forward to every appointment!

Do Not go to the Florissant office. While Dr. McDermott is a fantastic person, he is trying to run 2 offices 45 minutes from each other with no other doctors. Scheduling appointments are incredibly hard. He only runs the Florissant office on Thursday's and Friday's from 8-12. If you have a child in school, you will have to pull them from school a lot for routine appointments as they do not stay open late and book up weeks out. Scheduling an appointment late on a Thursday means everyone prior to your appointment time has taken the prime spots 4-6 weeks in the future. Also, if you
