Our experience with Marin Braces was excellent. Dr. Miller and his fantastic team handled our 8 year-old daughter's orthodontic care. They were professional and great communicators which was important as orthodontic care was new for us. The ladies at the front desk were friendly and efficient. We plan on returning in a few years for our second phase. We highly recommend Marin Braces and are grateful for our positive experience. ~ A Family in Petaluma read more

I'm so happy with my smile! An old co-worker recommended Marin Braces, and I'm truly grateful I decided to come here. I used to feel really insecure about my smile, but after sharing my concerns with Dr. Miller, he knew exactly what to do. Everyone on the team was so kind, helpful, and welcoming I always enjoyed chatting with them during my visits. The environment is amazing, and the entire Marin Braces team truly goes above and beyond. I never had a single issue throughout my treatment. Honestly, this is hands down the best place to go if you want braces and a beautiful smile. I finally feel confident showing mine off! - Brenda Martinez read more

Marin Braces - Dr. Greg Miller at work and the front desk waiting area - Orthodontists Near Me - Novato, California

My son is incredibly shy and nervous about going to doctors and dentist appointments, and especially anywhere new. From the get go, the waiting room immediately put him at ease, with legos and books for him to play with. Then the dental team helped even more by being playful, friendly, and kind. They pretended the xray machine was a space ship, and gave him a stuffy to hold. He was smiling and laughing. And he hasn't complained to go back once! He also loves the incentives that they give to motivate brushing, wearing elastics, etc. I am so thankful the experience has gone so well considering he typically has a very hard time in these situations. read more

Super nice people doing great work. They fixed my British teeth with almost 2 years of invisalign. It was overall a great experience, and I highly recommend. read more

Best orthodontist services in Marin. Both of my kids go here and we couldn't be happier with the care and results.

I had started an Invisalign process years ago, when I still lived in SF, that I ended up not completing. After moving to Marin, I decided to finish my treatment, but didn't relish the idea of making the drive to downtown SF to do so. I started searching for an orthodontist closer to home and was put off by how pretentious and overpriced most of the local offices I visited were. Marin Braces, on the other hand, was a breath of fresh air. The staff is very down-to-earth, friendly, and accommodating. I highly recommend! read more

We are only at the start of our orthodontic experience, but are impressed so far! The office staff and Dr. Miller were very welcoming and kid-friendly from the start, as well as quite thorough and informative. read more

I have gone round and round in my mind as to if i would write a review for Marin Braces as i am a small businesses owner myself. I have three kids ,all of them went through braces at MB, (oldest was with the former practices owner ). Ultimately i would not recommend them . If we had not paid in full in cash we would have pulled them earlier ( as did friends of ours ) Covid was hard on all of us but man did they not handle it well. There hours of operation are TERRIBLE and i have to agree with someone else's posts that Amber is rough . Her level of rudeness is off the charts. Check out the other options in Novato ! read more

Dr. Miller is simply amazing he made a huge improvement in my smile. Amber, April and Angelica are the best dental hygienists ever

We started my daughter's care here as a recommendation from our insurance. We live in San Rafael and it was a bit if a drive but decided to check them out. Dr. Miller is wonderful. Super friendly, engaged in his work and his very kind with children. As my daughters care continued there, I had more opportunities to interact with the front staff (booking appointments, rescheduling, understanding the contract better, etc). It was during these moments of help from the front staff when my opinion of the office shifted. Particularly with Amber. When we needed to schedule a follow up appointment we were they had to be morning appointments, which was a challenge as we lived in San Rafael, and that it needed to be morning because it was to be a longer appointment. Each time we did those morning appointments they were never as long as we were told and typically only 10-15 minutes. Not the 45 that we were told and expecting. My daughters care was projected to be completed within 1year. As the year approached they changed that projection and added another 7+ months. Knowing that making these appointments would still be a challenge I decided to check in with Orthodontists closer to us in San Rafael. We found Dr. Michelle Gonzales and saw her to potentially transfer my daughters treatment. She had her own opinions about the treatment with my daughter but ultimately didn't see any reason to keep the braces on any longer as she felt her teeth were at their best position. We switched offices, got my daughters braces taken off and finished up her treatment with Dr. Gonzales' office. While taking care of any loose ends at Dr. Miller's office, again, Amber difficult. When I called to initiate the transfer, I was told we would get reimbursed for the retainer that was never given considering my daughters braces were never removed at their office. After a few weeks of waiting for that refund and not receiving it I called to office to double check. Left a message with the front dest and got an email reply stating that there would be no refund because the office put in more work than the original contract called for. Why couldn't the office have kindly called me to notify me of their mistake and clearing everything up? Instead, I had to reach out. When I aksed more questions for clarity, Amber became even more short and her email responses were down right rude. Like I should have known that our care exceeded our contract (that we paid in full at the beginning of treatment) and that I Shouldn't expect any refund, despite having been told that by their front desk person. Ultimately, the experience with the front office personnel has changed my mind of the office. I wouldn't recommend them and am happy to not being going up their any longer. If you are looking for an orthodontist in Marin-Michelle Gonzales in San Rafael and her staff have been lovely, kind, firendly, helpful and up front about all teh work we've been doing with them. read more

Simply the BEST! Dr. Miller and his team are an asset to our community. As an adult patient I had some complex issues that other orthodontists had shied away from, not Dr. Miller. He worked carefully and diligently to help me achieve a healthy, functional and also cosmetically appealing result. His team is TOPS in my book. Always friendly, always helpful and accommodating. They make a challenging process slip smoothly along. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Top quality orthodontic care. read more

My son had his orthodontic work done here (almost done!). Everything -- timeline, cost, insurance, what to expect -- was laid out at the beginning, making it easy to understand. Appointments, making the next ones, reminders, payments -- all those issues that are tough for working parents were made easy for us. There were probably 2-3 times that my son had to miss some hours of school, and I wasn't quite happy about it, but I think that's expected for the appointments that require longer treatments. Other times were scheduled well for kids. What we really loved was the doctors and staff made sure that our son understood what it means to get an orthodontic care. It is a gift, not given. So the kids should appreciate the fact that they were able to receive the straight teeth -- and that they should take care of them for life. We appreciated the thoughtfulness and all other little programs they offered along the way that made it fun. Thank you for everything! read more

Better than great. I don't know what I would have done if Marin Braces hadn't excepted taking on my daughters braces that had already be installed in a different country and hadn't been adjusted in 3 months. My daughter had a severe over bite. I did not know her lower jaw was slanted until they told me. I was told when she got them installed she might need corrective jaw surgery later on around 18. I was shocked. Then as well by the orthodontists at Marin Braces and it might be for the braces to help. They still wanted to try. The results have been tremendous! Over the last several months I have watched my daughters face change. It has been amazing. After the most recent appointment. My daughter actually cried when she saw that her face had changed and evened out more. She said "Mom. My bottom teeth don't touch the rough of my mouth anymore. I have a jaw line now. My profile matches now. Look!" I had noticed how much better her lower jaw was matching her face. Before her chin was not inline with her nose. Now it was! It was incredible. It is amazing the changes that have happened and we are so grateful. Her teeth look really good too. The Drs and staff are patient and extremely helpful. I feel lucky to have found them. Amazing and Incredible work! read more

I just got my Invisalign off today and I couldn't be happier with how the process went! Dr.Miller is so nice and good at explaining each step, and is quick and efficient when making adjustments and adding/removing appliances. The staff is also great and the office has a warm and calming environment. I always enjoyed my visits, and I hate getting dental work, lol! Thank you guys! read more

We joined this practice in the beginning with Dr. C. My child was drawn to his dog Baxter. A few months after we joined, he sold the practice to a husband wife team, Dr. Kahn and Dr. Miller. We have seen both providers but my child prefers Dr. Kahn. The support staff is wonderful. Very friendly and understanding. They are swift and skilled with their procedures and we are pleased with the flexibility for scheduling and quick adjustments. read more

I have had braces before but of course I forgot to wear my retainer. I was in need for a new orthodontist. Going to the dentist/ orthodontist gives me anxiety but I knew from the second I walking into the office I was going to like it. The ladies at the front desk were so friendly and sweet. And Dr. Miller was very knowledgeable and I can tell he knew what he was doing. He was very professional yet very fun and comforting. I totally would recommend this office. I recommend it to family members and they are now patients. read more

I went there to get a quote on invisalign for my mildly crooked teeth. I went through the entire exam and the young woman who was putting together a quote for me said that I needed to have all my dental work done on my teeth prior to getting the invisalign. She called my dentist (that I no longer go to, but will not go into it here,) and my dentist said I had to pay $5,000 out of pocket to get my teeth in good shape before I can even consider invisalign. Plus, the invisalign there would be for 18 months and was $4,500 even after my insurance paid $2,000 of it. So, of course, I said no. I can't afford that because it would cost me $10,000!!!! As a long time sales person (over 35 years), I told her that she should first find out about work on one's teeth before a person comes in for an appointment for invisalign because that's a waste of both the dentist's and my time. So, I went to another dentist for a second opinion and got a quote for a lot less and they said I would only need my invisalign for 6 months! I would never recommend these people to anyone, young and old. Nope! read more

Great practice, friendly and professional staff. Very low pressure and kind. My daughter had a fear dentists and they made her feel very come from the start. We travel from SF just to come here! read more

Super fun and friendly staff here! 18 months of braces for my middle schooler was as smooth as could be, and their prices were quite reasonable. read more

My teenagers have been patients of Dr. Costopoulos for over 4 years, we're coming to the end of their treatments and I'm so glad we chose them, we could not be happier with every aspect of their care. My son got his braces off last year and has a beautiful smile and my daughter's will come off later this year, but we can see a huge improvement in her smile. The entire staff is very professional, understanding and just plain nice. They are ALWAYS running on time and we've rarely had to wait to be seen. They work with you to find a payment plan that will fit your budget and are flexible in their scheduling. It feels like the patient's care and convenience are the office's top priority. Then of course, there's Baxter, the office Goldendoodle! read more

Amazing service, friendly staff! I actually don't mind having braces! I highly recommend read more

Dr. C and his staff are with out a doubt the right Orthodontist for your family. I have three of my four sons under his care. One just had his braces removed, one just had his put on and the third has had an appliance to space his baby teeth and inbound adult teeth. The friendly staff, and professionalism (Not to mention patience) of Dr. C has been great! Never have to wait, and even "squeezes" us in slots when changes of appointments need to be made! Looking? This is the right place! read more

My 2 daughters have been treated by Dr C for retainers and I am about to use him too. The staff are all so warm and welcoming, Dr C is wonderful and the office is immaculate. I highly recommend him for all your family! read more

I agree with S G. The network of Dentists and Orthodontists in Novato think so highly of themselves it's off the charts. Most importantly, instead of pleasing the customer they are "put off" and a second opinion means you are a difficult person. In fact you have been diagnosed with TMJ and your bite has been altered eventually you cannot find a professional in Novato to fix the dental care that you need. And if you do the doctors in Novato don't want to "be the bad guy" to complete the work. Dr C saw me gave me a quote the rudely backed off from the job. It happened after I requested my molds from another local orthodontist. His secretary rudely hung up the phone when I called for the appointment. Just beware that once you are on the black list in Novato you might have a difficult time finding another dentist on your side. We are after consumer looking for a true professional that will keep his word. My previous dentist Dr Rosenthal also mistreated me because of the situation. I was evaluated by the ADA but it did not matter. Still seeking help. From who ? Not Novato These docs also belong to Novato Business Association but rather ask you to leave the county. Recntly Yelp asked me to make sure I was accurate with this business. This doctor kindly saw me gave me a quote which was reasonable. I had confidence he could finish the incomplete work I had done. He happily offered to help when I had the money. Did a payment plan then when I called to make an appointment the secretary exclaimed HE IS NOT going to help you!. Then hung up. It is that simple he took the time then backed out. read more

Dr. Costopolous and his office staff are fabulous! Everyone is so friendly and remember all the children's names. The staff is also very professional and will work with you on payment plans. Their prices are reasonable. They explain what they're doing to their patients in understandable terms. My daughter just got her braces off and has a beautiful smile!! We could not be happy with Dr. C and his wonderful staff!! read more

This place is the best. Everyone is nice and the staff are welcoming. They did good work on my teeth and were gentle.

I'm so excited, I got my braces off, today! I can't rave enough about Dr. Miller, who, by the way, has a great sense of humor, and the whole team at Marin Braces. They are warm, personable, accommodating and professional. They care about doing perfect work and they couldn't be nicer. The icing on the cake is they always have really good music on and I've never had to wait, though they are worth waiting for. The office always has an upbeat and happy vibe. And today right before I walked out into the world, braces free for the first time in 2 years, the entire office did something very special for me. I won't say what it was, I'm pretty sure they'll do it for you too, but you'll have to go there to find out. You won't be sorry! My smile looks amazing, thank you Marin Braces! read more

Dr. Miller is the best. He is knowledgeable, professional, warm, and really funny. He makes me laugh and that relaxes me. I trust him and his staff. Debbie is funny too and she knows her stuff. Melissa is great and professional as well. This is the best orthodontist I've ever been to, and I've had braces five times in my life. The office is clean and welcoming, and Debbie puts up some awesome holiday decorations. When I walk in, I feel instantly cared for and respected. Give them a try, you won't be sorry. read more

Both of my kids received orthodontic care from Dr. C. We had to start early with him when my son lost his 3 year molars about 5 years before he should. In addition to that space maintainer, my son went through two rounds of treatment, and my daughter had one. The staff was always incredibly caring and interested in the kids as people, not just patients. As a parent, I always felt very informed about what was happening with my kids and confident in the process. And now both of them have amazing smiles! Dr. C. is also very supportive of schools and sports in Novato. I feel very confident recommending him! read more

Extremely nice people very professional I would highly recommend them for your braces treatment !

Everyone at the office is exceptional, they are kind, caring, knowledgeable, patient and friendly. They always work with me and my family's needs. My family and I have been going to this office for 4 years now and we couldn't be happier with their professionalism and with the experience. They never rush you if you need to express your concerns. Everyone there is so nice and understanding. Starting with Sherralyn, so friendly and fun, she is a pleasure to talk to. Then Debbie and Melissa, they are amazing, knowledgeable caring and patient. And of course, Dr. Miller and Dr.Kan are great at what they do, plus they are nice and friendly, they really care. I never feel pressured to do anything, but instead I am informed and educated. My son has been very lucky to get this exceptional service. I would recommend Marin Braces to anyone who wants to have a great experience and amazing service! read more

I have two teenagers that needed braces. One of which we were told by another orthodontist may need a very expensive operation to fix his overbite. My older son was done with his treatment late last year and my younger one with the bad overbite is getting his off in approximately one week. Doctor C. has been so fabulous and his entire staff have been so professional, knowledge, and kind. My son's overbite is completely fixed and does not need the expensive and uncomfortable operation - thanks to Dr. C. and his latest technology and style of treatment. We could not be happier with him and his office staff. His assistants are extremely wonderful and his office Manager Joni is absolutely out of this world. read more

Fabulous! I had many orthodontic evaluations over the past year plus, and after visiting Marin Braces for my consultation, I was so happy. Not only do they take my dental insurance, but they were so helpful with scheduling (I'm able to come in on my lunch break), as well as friendly staff. When I had my braces put on, Dr Miller was so gentle, I could have fallen asleep in the chair. The whole office staff has been so helpful & caring. Thank you for making this decision an easy one for me. read more

Dr. C is a perfectionist, which is a great quality for an orthodontist. He recommended Invisalign which was a perfect solution for me. As an adult, I didn't want the usual metal braces. I am thrilled with the results, and would highly recommend Dr. C and his office. They are friendly, they care about you as a patient, and took care of all the insurance hassle for me. Hooray! read more

I have special needs son who needed orthodontic treatment to fix his bite and his crowded upper and lower front teeth. He's been with Dr. Aggie Varady for over a year now and it amazes me the incredible rapport she was able to develop with my son over a short period of time, even though the treatment is very challenging for him. She's fantastic! The staff is absolutely incredible and I can't thank enough Sherralyn, Debbie, Katie, Aprile, and Melissa for their patience, caring attention, and utmost professionalism. Last but not least, I have to say that in his interactions with my son, Dr Miller has been really good with him and extremely helpful whenever we have had any issues. His calm demeanor helps my son focus on what needs to get done. They have the best equipment and technology to offer patients the best experience possible, and they are very accommodating to meet my son's needs. I couldn't have chosen a better practice and really glad we chose Marin Braces. read more
