A native of Irmo South Carolina, Dr. Rob Nieders graduated magna cum laude with a degree in Biology from Wofford College in Spartanburg, SC and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa National Honor Society.

After his time in the Navy, Dr. Nieders returned to Charleston to complete his specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry at MUSC. He then returned home to join the dental practice he grew up in, Palmetto Smiles!

Dr. Nieders is married to his high school sweetheart and best friend and is the father of two active boys who keep him very busy with Boy Scouts, swimming, and soccer! Dr. Nieders enjoys mountain biking, camping and travel, and reads in the little bit of free time he can carve out in between driving his boys around!
In case you missed it during a recent visit, Palmetto Smiles would like you to join us in wishing a Happy Retirement to Dr Heather Hopkins who is retiring from clinical orthodontic practice May 31st. We thank her for the many years of orthodontic service for our patients. At the same time, we hope you've met Dr Mike Jauch during his time here in the last 6 months but if not he looks forward to meeting you in the continued orthodontic care of our patients. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the office. If your child is in active orthodontic care, we encourage you to come in with them on their next appointment so that Dr Mike can meet and update you on their care.
