Pam F.
The staff was AMAZING. super excited to get my braces on. They explained everything in detail and answered any questions I had!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Pam! We’re thrilled to hear that our team made you feel comfortable, informed, and excited about your braces journey. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we can’t wait to see your beautiful smile transform! - Dr. Markus and the MCO team!
Katherine B.
Today I did something I’ve been thinking about for a while… I GOT BRACES! 🦷❤️ Am I crazy? 😂 Is this my midlife crisis? I don’t know! But what I do know is that I’m excited, nervous, and so very glad I made this decision. Working in the dental field every day, I often tell people that it’s not their age they should be worried about. It’s their health, their well-being, their confidence, and doing what’s best for themselves. And today, I decided it was time for me to take my own advice. This feels like a new beginning for me—a healthier start and another step toward taking better care of myself. I’m excited to see the transformation and, most of all, excited about the journey ahead! 🥰 I also have to give a huge shout-out to the orthodontic team. From my consultation to today, they have been absolutely wonderful. The orthodontist took the time to answer every question and address every concern I had, and the assistants were so kind and helpful. They even sent me home with the sweetest goodie bag filled with instructions, snacks, and a little toothbrush carrier to take with me. 🪥💕 Such thoughtful touches! So here I go… a new smile, a new beginning, and a reminder that it’s never too late to invest in yourself. ✨ Here’s to taking care of ME! ❤️🦷 And yes… I’m sure there will be a whole lot of learning, adjusting, and probably a few funny moments along the way! 😂
Response from the owner:Katherine, this made our whole team smile! We’re so honored that you chose to begin this new chapter with us, and we absolutely loved being part of such a special day for you. Your excitement, honesty, and positive outlook made your appointment just as memorable for us! We’re especially glad those little touches, like your goodie bag, made you feel cared for. We truly believe the orthodontic journey is about so much more than straightening teeth, it’s about feeling confident, investing in yourself, and enjoying the transformation along the way. We can’t wait to watch your smile transform, and we’re so happy to be along for the journey. Here’s to your new smile and this exciting new beginning! - Dr. Markus and the MCO Team!

Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback! It truly means a lot to our entire team to know that we were able to make you feel comfortable and welcomed. We know visiting the orthodontist can feel a little overwhelming at times, so creating an environment where our patients feel at ease is something we care deeply about. We’re so happy you had such a positive experience, and we’re grateful to have you as part of our orthodontic family! - Dr. Markus and the MCO Team!

Very welcoming people! I’m a very anxious person when it comes to anything related to teeth for some reason. They really make sure to take the time to explain everything and are very amicable! Great people :)
Response from the owner:Thank you for such a wonderful review! Knowing that we were able to make your visit feel less stressful truly makes our day. We believe orthodontic care should be a positive experience, and we're so glad our team helped you feel comfortable and confident throughout your appointment. Your trust means everything to us, and we can't wait to see your smile again soon! - Dr. Markus and the MCO team!
Chelsea N.
My preteen daughter is on her second phase of braces and she has 0 fear about going to the orthodontist office. They make it so fun to be there— she gets a sweet treat after every visit from the staff— it’s just a nice pop in, catch up, and change her braces colors. We are literally in and out with a smile on her face! We love that the staff remembers her each visit and always checks in with how she’s been doing. We are so excited to see the finalized smile soon!
Response from the owner:Ah Chelsea, reading your review put a huge smile on our faces! Seeing your daughter grow through each phase of treatment has been such a joy, and it means the world to know that she walks into our office feeling comfortable, confident, and excited to be here. We love that her appointments have become more than just braces visits! They're a chance to catch up, hear what's new in her world, pick out fun colors, and celebrate the little milestones along the way. One of the things we cherish most is getting to know our patients as individuals, so hearing that she feels remembered and cared for at each visit is incredibly special to us. Thank you for allowing us to be part of this chapter in her life. We know how much dedication goes into the braces journey, and we're just as excited as you are to see that beautiful final smile revealed soon! - Dr. Markus and the MCO Team!
