The team is very knowledgeable and responsive. I went in for a check on the fit of my retainer after some recent dental work. Even though I am no longer in active treatment, they were happy for me to come in and be checked out. Dr. Markus and the staff are great!!
Uday G.
Dr. Markus and the entire team at Mill Creek Orthodontics have been amazing! Over the years, they have helped create beautiful smiles for our entire family, and we could not be happier with the results. I especially appreciate how Dr. Markus has gone above and beyond with my own treatment, working through a few stubborn teeth that have required some extra attention. He and his staff have always been patient, friendly, and wonderful to work with. We have had nothing but great experiences and would highly recommend them!
Balone T.
I love this entire team. My girl, Yei, worked to get me my candy canes. Thanks girl! You’re in excellent hands with this entire team and doctor.

Five stars simply aren't enough for Mill Creek Orthodontics! Getting braces as an adult can be an intimidating experience. There is a certain level of vulnerability, anxiety, and self-consciousness that comes with making this decision later in life, and I cannot imagine having a better team by my side throughout the process. My journey with Mill Creek Orthodontics actually began with my child. After watching their treatment journey and seeing the absolutely incredible smile they have today, I knew exactly where I wanted to go when I finally decided it was time to invest in my own smile. Having already witnessed the exceptional care they provided my child, I had high expectations. Somehow, they have managed to exceed every single one of them! From the very beginning, the entire team at Mill Creek Orthodontics has been nothing short of extraordinary. They have met every question, concern, and anxious moment with genuine kindness, patience, compassion, and reassurance. Not once have I felt rushed, dismissed, or uncomfortable. Instead, they have gone above and beyond to make sure I feel informed, supported, and confident every step of the way. And when I say they treat me like royalty, I genuinely mean it! Every visit feels like walking into a place where people are truly happy to see you. Their warmth, professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to making their patients feel valued are unmatched. I can genuinely say that I look forward to every single appointment! How many people can say that about going to the orthodontist?! What could have been an overwhelming experience has instead become one filled with encouragement, laughter, and an incredible amount of gratitude. They have taken something that initially came with anxiety and transformed it into an experience I actually get excited about. If you're an adult considering orthodontic treatment and feeling even the slightest bit nervous, please know that you will be in great hands and will have a team supporting you in a way that makes you feel as wonderful as Mill Creek Orthodontics has made me feel. They aren't just creating beautiful smiles. They're giving people the confidence to smile throughout the entire journey. I trusted them with my child's smile, and now I'm trusting them with mine. I cannot imagine a stronger endorsement than that. I truly cannot recommend them highly enough!

I take my grandson there and they are doing a amazing job on his teeth, and the staff is very friendly
Pam F.
The staff was AMAZING. super excited to get my braces on. They explained everything in detail and answered any questions I had!
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! 😂
