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

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). I felt very comfortable and informed throughout the process. Angela made scheduling a breeze and created the most welcoming environment I have ever felt in a medical practice. 10/10 ❤️read more

Chelsei’s Backup E.

I got braces as a 34 year old, which is a daunting experience to say the least. I shopped around quite a bit to understand the process, price, and options. From the very beginning I could... tell Mill Creek was a cut above the rest. The entire staff are personable, attentive, and professional. Dr. Markus obviously cares deeply about what he does. It shows in his attention to detail, extensive expertise, and focus on patient care. They use advanced technology and tired and true methods to ensure their patients are comfortable with the process and happy with their results, all while managing expectations along the way. If you need braces or if your kid needs braces - pick Mill Creek! I’m so glad I did!read more

Christine C.

I got braces in my 30s after having braces for 5 years as a teen. I tried invisalign and smiledirect and was still not satisfied, so I decided on traditional braces. It took less than a... year, and when I tell you it was SOOO worth it, Dr. Markus is a perfectionist in every sense of the word, and my teeth look a million times better than they did even when I had braces as a teen. He's a true artist, my teeth look like veneers lol I'm so glad I did my research and found this place...seriously! If you're looking for a genuine artist for your teeth, go to Mill Creek. 💓 I got my braces off today and I'm SO HAPPY 😭💖read more

The staff are warm, personable and engaging, the office is very bright and cheerful, and they really seem to understand the science behind their work. On top of that I was offered a new... laser pain reduction treatment that they may begin using regularly soon which significantly reduced the inflammation I was experiencing after having my braces first put on. I'm happy to be a client of Mill Creek and excited about the progress being made already 😊**Update: got my braces off and my smile looks amazing, I've gotten tons of compliments already, my TMJ is gone, my bite is lined up and I'm so pleased.
