“Dr. Murphy and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable! After being presented with all of the options, I chose Invisalign to correct the crowding of my teeth and am very pleased with the results! I was able to complete the program in half the predicted time, thanks to the guidance of Dr. Murphy and staff. They encouraged me along the way, and their expertise helped me make decisions about my care that I’m very happy with. I travel over 40 minutes to see them and look forward to it every time!! I have always loved to smile, and now, I have more confidence when I do! Thank you!!” – Heather T.

Not Your Average Orthodontics Clinic

Dr. Murphy, the owner of Southern Maine Orthodontics, took a few minutes out of her day to tell us a little more about this one-of-a-kind orthodontics clinic and the impressive online reputation they’ve managed to build.

To start our conversation, we asked Dr. Murphy what it is that sets Southern Maine Orthodontics apart from their competition in Maine. Here’s what she had to say:

“We really take time to get to know our patients and their needs and desires. We don’t try to oversell or overpromise what we can deliver on. We just try and do good orthodontics and do the best we can for each patient. The team here is just awesome, and they really create an environment that is friendly.”

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Southern Maine Orthodontics and how they give back and make the world a better place. Here’s Dr. Murphy’s response:

“Our mission is to have each patient leave with a smile that they are proud of. …Smiles are contagious, and we try to leave people with a good impression.”

Building Success With an Awesome Staff

When we asked Dr. Murphy about Southern Maine Orthodontics’ secret to such a strong online reputation, she said:

“A lot of it is just organic. We let the patients know that they can help us out by giving us a review online. One of the reasons why they are willing to leave feedback is because the staff is awesome.”

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, Southern Maine Orthodontics has spread the word about who they are and what they do through community involvement:

“We are really active in the community and sponsor a lot of local teams. I’m involved in a lot of study clubs and try to give my time to people and peers. We have a rewards program for dental hygiene. We try to keep it fun and be active in the community.”

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation Southern Maine Orthodontics has. Here’s the expert advice Dr. Murphy has for them:

“Don’t be afraid to ask for a review. If your patients are happy they will review you.”
