In a tightknit community like Mount Pleasant,
word of mouth is one of the most important
ways to grow a business. So when Dr. Cason
Hund opened Wando Family Dentistry in 2014,
he worked hard to build a network of patients in
the area by starting close to home.
Dr. Hund is a local through and through; he grew
up on James Island, went to
Porter-Gaud School, earned his
undergraduate degree at Clemson and graduated from
the MUSC College of Dental Medicine. After finish-
ing school, Dr. Hund chose to open his practice close to
where he grew up.
“I love the area; it’s always been good to me, and I love
the community,” he said, adding that being surrounded
by friends and family played a crucial role in helping him
grow the practice. “I’ve got a good support network. My
family comes to me and they send their friends, then the
word gets around town.”
When the practice first opened, Dr. Hund made sure
to take care of his friends, who were fresh out of college
and in what he calls the “dental blind spot of the 20s.”
As those friends found success, they continued to see Dr.
Hund at Wando Family Dentistry and have become some
of his most loyal patients.
After being open for almost four years, the practice
is regarded as one of the best in Mount Pleasant. Dr.
Hund works hard to give back to the community that has
supported him by volunteering with several local organi-
zations in the area, including East Cooper Community
Outreach and the Charleston Free Clinic.
“I’m home, serving the community that I grew up in,”
he explained.
Wando Family Dentistry has built a strong reputa-
tion in Mount Pleasant and has even been named one of
Mount Pleasant Magazine’s best dentists. To preserve this
status, Dr. Hund and his staff strive to maintain a com-
prehensive family practice where everyone feels comfort-
able. He follows one simple rule when it comes to his
patients: “I treat everyone as I would want to be treated.
That includes their teeth, their time, their feelings and
their money.”
To do this, the staff focuses on preventive care, which
helps patients avoid future problems that could cost them
valuable time and money. The staff treats patients just like
the friends and family who helped kick-start the prac-
tice by making their visits as comfortable as possible and
working to maximize insurance payouts to keep costs low.
As the practice continues to grow, Dr. Hund is always
looking for ways to improve, like increasing the staff and
expanding the office space. Wando Family Dentistry is
planning to break ground soon on a new office in Park
West, which is set to open in 2018. The new location is
poised to be much more convenient for patients, which is
the primary goal of Dr. Hund and his staff as they move
forward in the building process.
“We are building a new, state-of-the-art office to better
serve our patients,” he said.
