Lian S.
We are so pleased with the Invisalign treatment received from Dr Hancock for my son who was 9 at that time. It was a 9 months treatment. Dr Hancock and his team helped us stay on track with everything including initial consultation, treatment plan, all follow ups. And Dr. Hancock is always right on when the teeth would come out. And always explained to us the results for each of our appointment. The whole office is so friendly and super helpful and so responsive. We can’t be happier with the entire journey. If you need Invisalign, Dr Hancock is the best of the best. Highly recommends.
Samera N.
I have two children being seen by Dr Hancock and have had nothing but positive experiences with his practice. My oldest was pretty straight forward and did the Invisalign route. 15 months after starting he is in his Invisalign retainer! My younger child is in braces and its going well, he had a more complicated situation where his grown up teeth didn’t have space to come in and needed his teeth in already moved out of the way. He was able to achieve this with braces and his smile is already looking so improved! We first went to another orthodontist that their pediatric dentist referred us. He wanted to do expanders on both my kids and had a much more painful complicated and lengthy prognosis for both my kids! Im so glad I got the second opinion with Hancock, best decision!! Check him out you won’t regret it!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful feedback! We truly appreciate your kind words and your confidence in Dr. Hancock and our team. Weโ€™re grateful for your recommendation and for taking the time to share your experience.
Jenny T.
Dr. Hancock, dental assistants, and office staff are all super. Communication has been easy and they answered countless questions I had. Bed side manner is great and Dr. Hancock takes time with each patient. We didn't feel rushed. My kid just started the invisaline process and was nervous but felt like a champion after her starting appointment. I feel the new office is a bit dated and needs to be refreshed with their own style but that is a process.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Jenny! We're thrilled to hear that Dr. Hancock and our team made your child's Invisalign journey so positive. Your insight on the office ambiance is appreciated, and weโ€™ll consider your suggestions moving forward.
Ashley S.
We actually visited the Winchester location-Dr. Hancock did a wonderful job! My daughter had her braces removed today and it was a great experience!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Ashley! We're thrilled to hear that Dr. Hancock provided a great experience for your daughter during her braces removal. We appreciate your trust in us!

They were great, had my braces on for 2 years while being in Myrtle beach and in state. When something broke they fix it. Great people as well, recommend going.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to seeing you again!
Kaitlin S.
Dr. Hancock and his team are nothing short of phenomenal! Dr. Hancock makes our kids feel comfortable and safe as he walks them through each treatment and ensures they understand what’s happening and why it will help. I feel like I have even learned a lot about teeth from listening in! The office staff is welcoming and kind, and every technician has been lovely. While nobody is excited to shell out money for orthodontia, the pricing is reasonable and Dr. Hancock and his team are honest and fair. I can’t recommend Dr. Hancock enough!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Kaitlin! We're thrilled to hear that Dr. Hancock and our team made your kids feel comfortable and informed. Your recommendation means a lot to us!

Dr. Hancock is a fantastic orthodontist. My wife and I are very pleased with the care our children have received under his direction. Strongly recommend visiting his office for an evaluation if you think you need orthodontic care.
