I absolutely love this orthodontic office! Dr. Markus and his team are amazing. They’re professional, friendly, and always make me feel cared for. I can’t recommend them enough—definitely a 5-star experience!

Adryan F.
I’ve been going to Dr. Markus for quite some time, ever since he was at Bright Now Dental in Stafford. Dr. Markus is truly great at what he does, so when I found out he moved locations, I had to follow him! Not only is he amazing, but his staff is phenomenal as well. I love going to my appointments and feeling all the positivity. You could be having a bad day, but the moment you walk in, you instantly feel better. I’m so happy to be a patient here and honestly recommend this place 1000 times over!
Response from the owner:Aww, Adryan, your kind words speak volumes! We are so fortunate to have you as a patient! Thank you for recommending us! - Dr, Marlus and the team
Miguel G.
I’ve went with Mill Creek Orthodontists for my Invisalign and the recommendations weren’t wrong. It’s been a great experience. They’ve laid out the expectations, explain the process every time, and are easy to work with. Today Anna installed my attachments, it was almost seeming less and given the position my mouth was in I was able to relax bc I knew she knew what she was doing. I’ve already recommended them twice and will keep on.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We're happy to hear that your Invisalign experience has been great and that our team, especially Anna, has made you feel comfortable and informed throughout the process. Your recommendations mean the world to us. We're thrilled to have you as part of the Mill Creek family!
Sophia A.
Extremely thorough answering questions, joyful, and put me at ease!
Response from the owner:Thank you., Sophia! We are so excited to work with you! - Dr. Markus and the team
Brooke D.
Have had the best experience so far with my braces! Everyone is so friendly and it’s a great atmosphere. :)
Response from the owner:Thank you, Brooke! We love your smile! - Dr. Markus and the team
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
Calet A.
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!
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words! We’re so glad your sisters are enjoying their experience here. Anna truly is awesome, and we’re lucky to have her as she is a rockstar! Thank you for all your support! -Dr Markus and the team
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
