When you think about orthodontics, you probably picture a mouthful of metal, some pain and a high price tag. While that may be the stereotype, Dr. Susan Podray-Donovan and her team are changing the way people think \u2013 and smile. A native of Florida, Susan and her husband, Jon (who just happens to be an excellent Practice Manager) came to North Georgia
\n
\nbecause of the excellent schools and job opportunities. After living near Lake Lanier, they fell in love with Cumming and decided to stay. They opened their first orthodontic office on Windermere Parkway, expanded into Vickery Village and most recently opened a third office in Braselton.<\/p>\n
But it\u2019s not so much where they do it as what they do. At Serenity Orthodontics, Podray-Donovan and her team pride themselves on personalized care. \u201cI focus on meeting each patient\u2019s goals and customize a treatment plan that harmonizes smile esthetics and function,\u201d Susan explains. \u201cOur team utilizes the most advanced orthodontic and digital technologies.\u201d And the result? Serenity Orthodontics is able to complete most treatments in 15 months or less, maintaining an affordability and convenience that is unmatched here in North Georgia!<\/p>\n
Orthodontics, like many other industries today, has a variety of options so there is not one secret formula to a great smile and healthy teeth. For this reason, Serenity Orthodontics approaches each patient individually, matching products with people to create lasting effects. \u201cOrthodontics is an art,\u201d Podray-Donovan explains. \u201cOnce we decide on the individual treatment plan, we then select the orthodontic appliance that best suits and reflects that patient\u2019s style.\u201d From Neon Braces, Damon Braces, Clear options, aligners like the well-branded Invisalign and more, the team at Serenity is expert at using these tools to achieve the results that patients love. Communication during the orthodontic experience is also critical, so the Serenity team fosters an open door policy. \u201cFamilies are always welcome to join our patients in the clinic to ask questions — we love to educate!\u201d Patients and families can also connect with Serenity via phone, text or social media.<\/p>\n
As an expert in her field, Susan Podray-Donovan loves what she does and that passion shines through when speaking with her. However, it\u2019s when she talks about her office team that she really lights up! \u201cI have a dream team,\u201d she says. \u201cWe are truly a serenity family, operating on three core values \u2013 patient safety, beautiful treatment outcomes and positive experiences.\u201d At Serenity, everyone you meet exhibits a strong commitment to their patients, their practice and their community. It\u2019s no wonder that Serenity has founded a local chapter of Smile for a Lifetime Foundation, a charity that donates orthodontic treatment to patients in need.<\/p>\n
A critical member of Susan\u2019s team, both at home and at work, is her husband Jon. \u201cHe is the Yin to my Yang,\u201d Susan says. \u201cWe founded Serenity so we could find serenity!\u201d Coming from a business and accounting background as well as biomedical science, Jon is instrumental in detailing the administrative tasks of the practice as well as acting as the Treatment Coordinator. He will also tell you that he can predict what treatment plan Susan will recommend for a patient, based on her breathing patterns during the patient consult! Work\/life balance is always challenging, especially when the lines between home and office are easily blurred, but Susan and Jon know that they are showing their children the possibilities that exist in today\u2019s world and how to combine work ethic and passion for a career you can love.<\/p>\n
Eyes may be the windows to the soul, but it is a beautiful, healthy smile that makes that all-important first impression. Susan Podray-Donovan, husband Jon and the team at Serenity Orthodontics are committed to creating those smiles \u2013 one patient, one plan and one positive experience at a time!<\/p>\n
