Great experience from the start! Dr. Garrett Criswell did wonders with my teeth, I love the result of the treatment! Mercy was helping me during most of my appointments.

This I had a very good experience with MBO so far. They are efficient and professional. I have a clear plan and feel that I am in very good hands.

Updating after my 2nd appointment, I am still very pleased with my experience. The Team is buttoned up! They are friendly, skilled, efficient, informative, and have great customer service.

Still quite satisfied with the service and care team. I love the progress towards a better smile! I’m going to love having straight teeth!

Mary S.
While visiting the area with my family for two weeks, my son’s expander slipped out of place and was dangling in his mouth. I found MBO on Google and called to ask if they might be able to help fix or remove the expander. MBO’s scheduler worked my son in the very next morning, and Dr. Criswell helped him at no charge. Every person in the office is kind and helpful. My son and I are very grateful!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Mary! We're thrilled to hear that Dr. Criswell and our team could assist your son promptly. Your gratitude means a lot to us. We look forward to seeing you again!
C A.
We were traveling through town to go camping in Big Sur and my son’s wire came out of his braces and was cutting his mouth. We showed up without an appointment in hopes that they would help him and they were amazing. The fact that they treated us so well when we weren’t even their clients speaks volumes. They took their time and made sure that he was comfortable before we left. My son and I truly appreciate their kindness. Highly recommend and I wished we lived closer.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! We're glad we could assist your son during your visit. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional care, and we appreciate your recommendation. Safe travels and happy camping!
Wendy K.

Can’t recommend Dr. Criswell enough! He makes my child feel at ease, and we both feel like he really cares and wants to help us have the best experience possible. Best orthodontist ever!

Thank you MBO for the best experience getting my angel aligners on today. It started with Lindsay who accommodated my schedule and got me in earlier than the appointment time, I appreciate it. And Gabby, you did an amazing job getting my teeth ready for the aligners and explained the whole process very thoroughly. Lastly, thank you Dr. C for making this such a seamless process! I appreciate you all. 11/10 visit⭐️⭐️⭐️
