Reviews
Barbara K.
Our family have three teenagers under Dr Criswell care. He and the staff are very informative. Answers all questions and guide us in learning about orthodontics.
The office mood is helpful and positive. I highly recommend their service. Thank you. Nana.
Response from the owner:We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback on your experience. We work very hard every day to exceed our patients’ expectations!
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.
Janet D.
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.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your positive feedback, Janet. We're delighted to hear about your experience with us. Our team is dedicated to providing exceptional care and a clear path to your beautiful smile.
Lisa R. Kroopf, M.
This is the best orthodontic office on the Peninsula. The office staff is friendly and know the patients by name. Follow up care and communication is fantastic. Dr Crisswell is the absolute best!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We are honored to serve each and every one of our patients!

Always a great experience at Dr. Criswell’s office. He is not only highly competent but has an amazing bedside manner. We’re lucky to have found him.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear about your positive experiences at Dr. Criswell's office. Your kind words about his competence and bedside manner mean a lot to us. We look forward to seeing you again soon!🦷😁
Marisa T.
Support, encouragement and kindness was provided to me to keep pushing forward with my treatment plan. Thank you to Lindsay for the ongoing communication and a huge thank you to the 7am Dental leader, who provided me with so much care. You all continue to prove what a valuable part of our community you are.
Response from the owner:We truly appreciate your wonderful feedback, Marisa!😁 It's heartwarming to know that our team provided you with support and encouragement throughout your treatment. We'll be sure to pass on your thanks to Lindsay and the entire dental team. 🦷Your trust in us motivates us to keep delivering high-quality care to our community. Thank you for being a valued member of our practice!
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!✨😁
Matthew R.
I met twice with Dr. Criswell for two consults and he seemed to genuinely want to help as I was experiencing tooth pain for 6 months due to possible traumatic occlusion. Even though orthodontics was not recommended, Dr Criswell spent extra time trying to help figure out what was causing the mystery pain. Thank you Dr. Criswell and team.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words, Matthew!😁 We're glad to hear that Dr. Criswell went above and beyond to help you with your tooth pain. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we appreciate your trust in our team. If you need any further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out!🦷✨
Corina Q.
My child was scared at first but they reassured her she would be perfectly fine. She left happy which made me happy she could trust the dentist. Thank you!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! Your vote of confidence in our practice is why we do what we do!
America R.
Dr. Criswell and his office are all very kind and professional. I would definitely recommend his office to anyone seeking to get orthodontic treatment. I have been a patient of Dr. Criswell along with my two older children and now I am taking my youngest to see him. I wouldn’t trust anybody else, but Dr. Criswell.
Response from the owner:We appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback on your experience. We work very hard every day to exceed our patients’ expectations!
