Brooke D.
Have had the best experience so far with my braces! Everyone is so friendly and it’s a great atmosphere. :)
Kasey S.
The entire team at Mill Creek Ortho is fabulous! We look forward to every visit and Dr. Markus is always so personable. It’s amazing to have a team that is providing not only top-quality treatment, but top-quality care and fun at each visit (and who doesn’t love ice cream and Sasquatch)? Our family highly recommends Dr. Markus and his team for any and all orthodontic treatment.
Response from the owner:Thank you Kasey! Thank you so much for your kind words and glowing review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoy your visits to Mill Creek Ortho. Dr. Markus and the entire team truly love what we do, and it's so rewarding to know that it shows in your experience. Providing top-quality care and a little fun (plus ice cream and Sasquatch, of course!) is what we strive for every day. Your recommendation means the world to us. Thank you for being a part of the Mill Creek Ortho family! - Dr Markus and the team

My little sisters come here for their braces and it’s such a great place and very friendly environment. Anna is awesome, and her being bilingual really helps out a lot!

Patricia F.
Awesome place!! Millcreek orthodontist takes time with their patients and goes beyond for getting approvals. My child was denied by two other orthodontist through insurance and I peeled both of them and lost and then I went to Millcreek and was approved within four days after losing two appeals through the insurance, there is no other orthodontist I would ever go to or recommend. If you need a orthodontist, they are your people
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Patricia, for your amazing review! We’re thrilled we could help get things approved and provide the care your child deserves. Our team always goes the extra mile for our patients, and it means the world to know it made a difference for your family. We truly appreciate your trust and recommendation! -Dr. Markus and the team

I am so excited for my journey to a new smile. Ana was amazing at giving me a lot of information on this step and next step. Exceeded expectations, quick and kind, very welcoming. And you get ice cream!! 🍦
