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 :)

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!

Brigette C.
We brought our daughter here after another office recommended treatment that seemed way more aggressive than necessary. This orthodontist took a much more balanced approach and explained that not every issue needs to be corrected immediately. That honesty made us trust them right away. The assistants are very good with nervous kids and keep conversations light so appointments don’t feel intimidating. My daughter was terrified before getting braces, but by the end of the visit she was surprisingly relaxed. There was one small issue where a bracket came loose after she bit into hard candy, but the office got us scheduled quickly without making us feel judged about it. After several months, her smile is already much straighter and she’s noticeably more confident around classmates and relatives.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful feedback. We’re really glad you felt confident in our more balanced approach and that taking the time to explain everything helped you feel comfortable with your daughter’s treatment plan. It’s also wonderful to hear she has felt more at ease during her visits, our team works hard to make sure kids feel calm and supported every step of the way. We’re happy we could quickly help with the bracket issue as well and keep things on track without added stress. Most of all, we love hearing about her growing confidence and progress. Thank you again for trusting us with her smile, and we truly appreciate your family being part of our practice. - Dr. Markus and the MCO Team!
