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!

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!

I appreciate you all. 11/10 visit⭐️⭐️⭐️

M C.

I definitely recommend going to this orthodontist office. My dentist recommended them due to a bite issue I am having. I was immediately impressed at how thorough they all were. The efficiency of the staff, from the xray tech, to the front desk and other technicians was like clockwork . The doctor took his time and gave me many solutions on how they could help me but also gave me other solutions for me to try at home. It was obvious he cared about my situation and not to just try to get my business. They were all friendly and all worked together as a great team. All very impressive.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your positive feedback! We are delighted to hear about your thorough experience at MBO Orthodontics. Our team is committed to providing exceptional care and solutions tailored to each patient's needs.

Amy L.

We had a great experience with Dr. Criswell treating two of our kids. As a parent himself, he understands the needs of a family balanced with orthodontic needs only recommending what is necessary. As an added bonus, he is military friendly and gives a nice discount. I wish we were staying in the area for him to treat our other children.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Amy! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Criswell and appreciate your kind words regarding his approach to family care.❤️ It's great that you're happy with our military-friendly services, and we hope to continue providing excellent care for families like yours. We wish you all the best!✨😁
