Experience 5-Star Care

We’re thankful for the opportunity to serve our community by making them smile every day. Hear what our patients are saying about their experience with us!

As an adult getting braces for the second time was quite overwhelming and something I put off for years! I had visited other practices and felt out of place compared to most patients as I... was older and not the typical age for braces. I made the decision to visit Mill Creek and the minute I met Dr. N and his staff, I knew right away that I had made the right decision for myself! They made the entire process so easy from start to finish from their new age equipment to their upscale office space, and with their knowledge and customer service to match! I recommend Mill Creek for all of your families needs in orthodontics! My daughter will be starting her smile journey soon with Dr. N and I can’t wait to see her results! Thank you to all of the staff of Mill Creek Orthodontics! I can’t explain the happiness I have seeing my new smile! It’s literally been life changing! ❤️read more

This is the best in getting your teeth corrected. I love the technology that they use. I have had braces twice and I love the Invisalign. I love the ice cream at the end of my visit. Highly... recommended.read more

Angela S.

My teeth are looking so much better thanks to y'all 🩷 can't wait to see the final results!

Sage B.

Kenzie is a lifesaver, she always makes me feel better when I come in for wire clippings (I’m a giant baby about them) it’s always a quick visit for those and my tightening. She’s... efficient, friendly, and skilled. How she got a wire on what is essentially a sideways tooth baffles me. But I’m glad I had her. :) Love the whole team and of course Doctor N. Thanks guys!read more

Need braces?! Look no further, Mill Creek Orthodontics is where you need to be! You’re treated not only as a person but a family member! Once you get braces on they all say, welcome to the... family!! My 12yr old son had such high anxiety about going to his first appointment but Brooks and Dr Markus engaged him and addressed him the entire time, not just me as his Mom. He felt very involved in his care and that he had a say. He had some anxiety on braces day but Dr Markus engaged him in a conversation about sports and he eased right into it. Smiled and laughed his way through the braces. We just recently had an issue with one of his brackets and were able to get an immediate same day appt where we were in and out in no time flat. We have never had to wait to be seen and you are greeted the moment you open the door to walk in!! Hands down, cleanest office with the most friendly staff ever! Strongly recommend!!read more

Mill Creek Ortho: I’ve had gaps in my front teeth forever. I’m in my 40’s who says you can’t get traditional braces as an adult? Lol. Dr. Markus is a professional at what he does.

They all work as one big team and you feel at home every time you go in for a checkup. They have great technology to get 3D imaging of the teeth. I highly recommend this practice to all my friends/family in the area with teenagers or adults needing braces or other alignment/corrections. Go see MCO. Free to Be!read more

Tykasha M.

Loved my experience so much I brought my youngest to get hers! Staff is friendly & Dr. Markus is the best!

Kimberly D.

Mill Creek Ortho is by far the BEST place to go for braces or Invisalign! I got braces at Mill Creek as an adult, after previously having braces as a child and teenager (learn from my... mistake, folks - don’t stop wearing your retainers). My treatment at Mill Creek was vastly different (and so much better!) than my previous braces experience. NO impressions, NO gluing brackets one at a time, NO bands around my back molars - and significantly faster treatment time! But besides the braces themselves, I can’t say enough about Dr. Markus and all the staff. Dr. Markus is an absolute perfectionist and will ensure you have the most perfect smile. His staff is always friendly and truly make an effort to get to know their patients. You will not find a kinder or more genuine office in town. If I could give a million stars, I would.read more

Brooks Van I.

It is incredibly rare to find the level of kindness shown by the team at Millcreek Ortho! I met with Dr. Markus, Brooks, and Kirsten today to discuss a plan to straighten my teeth using... their new Inbrace (behind the teeth braces).
