Dr. Marcus and his staff are Exceptional! I appreciate how thorough and detailed he is in his craft. My son has a severe overbite and requires a lot of adjustments regularly, for his bite. Dr. Marcus and his team take great care in making sure my son is comfortable and happy each visit. My son had an emergency (Holiday weekend) and I emailed Dr. Marcus late last night. Dr. Marcus adjusted his schedule and went out of his way to make sure he was able to see my son and made sure he was comfortable. Thank you, Dr. Marcus, Ann and the amazing Team at Millbrae Orthodontics! read more

Dr Marcus is the real deal. He cares for his patients, spends the time to explain and his knowledge and experience is really incredible, he looks into the real medical issues and the aesthetics. Pleasure to deal with, and one feels cared for and the results are amazing. read more

Dr. Marcus and his team really went the extra mile to get my daughter's teeth finished before heading off to college. They were accommodating, flexible, and professional in helping us work with her challenging timetable. read more

Dr. Marcus is an experienced professional who gave detailed and make sense options for my issues. Unlike others in the industry, he offers cost efficient ideas without using scare tactics at high costs. I recommend Dr. Marcus! read more

Fantastic team! Dr. Marcus & Co. are super committed to their patients and accommodating their circumstances and concerns. I was a jaw surgery patient (Dr. Gunson in Santa Barbara) and definitely couldn't have gotten past the finish line without the consistent optimism and encouragement of Dr. Marcus. Also I don't want to say having braces is fun (because it's terrible) BUT I will say that visiting this establishment is very fun. The staff is friendly with a great sense of humor. Could not recommend more strongly. The team is honest, caring, and committed. Feel free to message me if you have any specific questions. Due to some strange life events I ended up being a patient here for almost 10 years on and off. Given that I'm not yet, 30, I'd considered myself an expert. read more

Dr Marcus was the most professional dentist I have ever met. He took all the time to go through all the relevant studies including imaging, teeth molds etc. Other than the imaging performed by an independent lab, there were no charges and Dr Marcus recommended a course of action that did NOT include his services! That kind of professionalism is rare. Thank you Dr Marcus read more

Dr. Marcus? When I think of Dr. Marcus I think back to The 60s and Lakeside Village. I loved going there to see your Papa Dr. Marcus Sr. That office was so fun to visit. Loved those comic books and the little waiting room. How can I ever forget the Jack-o-lantern with the head gear and the squirrel that was nuts about his head gear. These are all a part of my childhood memories. After a visit to Dr. Irwin Marcus my Mom would take me to Antoin's bakery for a chocolate chip cookie or sometime we'd go to Shaws ice cream. I will never forget your Papa. Dr. Alan you may remember Brian Tiffer from the 80s my nephew. He was on the Logan wrestling teem. Bonnie Tiffer read more

Dr. Marcus is an outstanding, highly experienced, skillful orthodontist who took on my difficult challenging case (over 60 with gum recession). He cares about the final outcome as a perfectionist sculpture artist. He was not completely satisfied with my final invisalign outcome. It looked great to me and all my family, but he noticed a slight flaw/misalignment in the mold that was made for my retainer. He proceeded forward with additional refinements at no additional cost to me. Amazing care! On top of all that, he is a great human being with wonderful warm sense of humor. The office staff vibe is equally friendly, happy, caring, professional, skillful. I live in San Francisco, and worth driving an extra 5-10 min (total drive is 30 min). read more

Dr. Marcus is fabulous at what he does! He really takes the time to access each individual to come up with the best results. It's obvious being a orthodontist is a passion of his, not just a job. Two of my boys are seeing him currently and I will definitely take the third when it's time. read more

We could not be happier with Dr. Marcus and his entire team. Both my son Noah and daughter Gianna are going through treatment under his guidance and their smiles are turning perfect because his expertise and professionalism. We are almost done with both Invisalign treatments, and we definitely recommend Dr. Marcus 100% He is funny, has a unique sense of humor and my kids love going to see him at his office. read more

Let me just say that I love Dr. Marcus orthodontist! I've always wanted braces and when the time finally came...didn't know who to go to. Thank god for Dr. Marcus and his staff. Reasons why I love this place, for one, Dr. Marcus doesn't B/S with any of his patients. He's honest and will tell you if you need ortho or not. He knows what he's doing and he is very passionate about it. Such a nice and down to earth person. Amanda the receptionist is heaven. She catered to me endlessly and was amazing with trying to find appointments that would fit my schedule. She was always on top of everything. Daniela the other receptionist is also great. She's so sweet and warm. There's three RDH, Danielle, Bridget and Rayna. All wonderful ladies. Bridget is hilarious, she's always making me laugh. If you get an opportunity Dr. Marcus Orthodontist is thee place! Thanks again Dr. Marcus and staff! read more

Thank you Doctor Marcus for fixing my teeth and giving me straight teeth with a sexy beautiful smile!!!!! I have received so so so so so many compliments on my smile since 1997. You are truly an artist at creating gorgeous smile!!!!! read more

Dr. Marcus is a fabulous orthodontist. He is the only bay area orthodontist recommended by one of the arguably best orthognathic surgeons in the world, Dr. Arnett in Santa Barbara. I am cursed with lifelong jaw problems (thanks mom!) and went to Dr. Arnett after 15 years and 2 previous unsuccessful surgeries with a different surgeon. I won't lie, I looked a mess. Dr. Arnett entrusted my care to Dr. Marcus. I had my third surgery in April of 2010. Between the two of them, my jaw is stable and has been stable for the past two years. My teeth touch, I can chew, no more headaches. I know most people can't imagine this, but I haven't been able to bite into a sandwich in almost 20 years, and now I can. Do you think you might need orthognathic surgery? Well here is your orthodontist. What? You live over the bridge and the commute makes you sad face so you'd rather work with Joe Schmoe up the street? You would be sadder to have to redo the surgery (trust me on that one) - suck it up. Go see Dr. Marcus, listen to his recommendations for care and which surgeons to use (he's dealt with all of them), and be assured you are in good hands. As far as regular orthodontics go, I can only imagine Dr. Marcus is stellar at that as well. While many people worry a lot about the bells and whistles that a practice will give them, the most important thing is the skill of the orthodontist. Dr. Marcus is conscientious about keeping up with his continuing education in order to provide the best for his patients. He will provide an honest and fair assessment of you or your child's issues and will treat them appropriately and with a more than fair price for the quality of the work. read more

Dr. Marcus is a caring orthodontist. He had done a great job at keeping me informed about my son's treatment, taking the time to talk to me at every appointment. read more

Got my braces on this Monday, and they were SO QUICK!! It was sore after but they provided me with very helpful material and information. I ran out of Gishy goo which is an oral silicone relief for brackets and they gave me another one right away!! Loving and caring staff! very understanding! read more

Service great Staff very organized and dr Marcus cares! Clean office staff trained very well They take time with each patient Keep up the great work and personal service !:) Easy to find too read more

Going to the orthodontist never seemed like much fun....that is until we started seeing Dr. Marcus. His office has a small town feel-the staff knows us and we often run into friends. His staff is helpful and Dr. Marcus has an excellent manner. But the best part for me is that we are treated as important patients-not a number, like at other offices. It doesn't feel like a "big business" and they really work with us to make sure appointments fit into our busy schedules. I highly recommend Millbrae Orthodontics! read more

It is rare to meet someone so interested, ethical and highly skilled in his profession and I'm very appreciative. I'd give him 10 stars if I could. I'm an adult, 65, referred at my request by my San Francisco periodontist because my teeth are "drifting", causing some very slight spaces and rotation, but it bothered me. Dr. Marcus considered my concerns, gave his opinion and explained my options in a pleasant, positive way. He described procedures that would occur if I did choose braces--things I'd never even considered. He answered questions. After taking some time to consider the information, I was able to make the decision not to get braces, but will get a retainer to prevent further movement. Honest, informative, thorough, knowledgeable, likeable, prompt--and this goes for the entire staff. read more

Normally I wouldn't want to brag about a man being quick. In this case it's a good thing. Dr.Marcus is fast, no long waits and he gets the job done. He also takes care of every detail and ensures that your smile looks flawless. Plus, he's a pretty friendly and buffed young man which is a plus for all the hot mommas going in to get their childrens teeth straight. In my case I am one of his "older" patients. His office staff is also friendly and the office us spotless. Bonus perk: near shopping, Peets Coffee and awesome parking. read more

Dr Marcus and his staff are great! They are professional, kind and funny. They always make my day when I am there. I highly recommend this office to anybody looking for an orthodontist. read more

I consulted a number of orthodontists to deal with a bite issue as an adult. In my situation I needed to make sure the doctor was concerned with my long term mouth health and not just cosmetics, since my teeth look normal already. Dr Marcus is very thorough and wouldn't recommend treatment till he had fully examined the photos and X Rays he had taken, which was not the case with other orthodontists I consulted. He did not push me into treatment I didn't need, and in the end I went with a splint that I wear at night instead of braces or Invisalign. I've had a number of follow ups to ensure my jaw position and bite appropriate. I have a lot of faith in Dr Marcus and actually don't mind going into see the doctor! read more

Dr. Marcus and his staff are the best. Why? Well, the staff is super friendly and helpful. They almost always run on time, and they use the best equipment there is. But most importantly, I would recommend Dr. Marcus very highly for three main reasons. 1. He is a true orthodontia geek. That means he loves his craft and his science. He works to achieve the best results possible, and he keeps up on the latest developments and technologies. 2. He only uses the highest quality equipment. No fads or products that people have made because kids like them. He uses what is high quality and what he needs to get the job done with the best results in the most appropriate period of time. 3. He tells you the truth. If you or your family member don't need braces, he will tell you that. He will tell you what he can fix and what may not get fixed. He understands teenagers and adjusts his methods and techniques to adapt to what he knows teenagers will and will not comply with (can you say headgear??). Both of my children have been treated by this office, and I can honestly say that I am completely satisfied and have recommended him to anyone. He has outstanding technicians and very friendly and helpful office staff. Oh, and he is totally nice and has a good sense of humor. read more

We Love Dr. Marcus and the entire Staff!!!

I was extremely impressed with Dr. Marcus, his staff and his office. Dr. Marcus is a true professional. He is a great orthodontist who takes his time treating his patients and explaining the treatment. His staff is very friendly and does a good job keeping appointment times so there is not a long wait. His office is completely computerized down to the patient check-in process. I highly recommend Dr. Marcus if you are looking for an orthodontist. read more

Over the years, I've read many Yelp reviews but have never posted one. But I'm finally compelled to take the time to write one because I'm so grateful for the excellent orthodontic treatment my daughter has received from Dr. Marcus. He is dedicated to ensuring the best possible outcome (tremendous attention to detail) and he interacts very well with the child/teen patient. His office has gone to great lengths to accomodate our scheduling needs and everyone in the office is a pleasure. (First medical/dental office I've encountered that I can communicate with via email for rescheduling or other operational issues!) My daughter's case was quite a challenge (significantly beyond teeth straightening or bite issues) and Dr. Marcus has gone so far above and beyond for her. She will benefit for the rest of her life from his care. I can't recommend him strongly enough...we are so happy that we chose Dr. Marcus! read more

I can't say enough about Dr. Marcus and his staff, their detail to customer service, friendly environment, If you're looking for a "Great" Orthodontist and a great Staff then look no further, and entrust your dental care to Dr. Marcus and his staff, you won't be disappointed. Once again, thank you for all the care our daughter Sarah received from you and your staff, her teeth are absolutely "Fantastic" and all of us couldn't be happier. read more

The worlds best- nicest -cleanest...orthodontists office ever!!! You're welcome newcomers!!

Local DDS from the area. Very nice and professional staff. The office also offers electric toothbrush packages for both kids and adults at cost. read more

Dr. Marcus is awesome! Both my daughters are patients of Dr. Marcus and he and his team are very informative about the whole orthodontist process. One daughter needed a ton of work (which we already knew) and the other he recommended didn't need the braces as of yet and was honest with us that Invisilign was an option since her teeth were pretty straight already after taking 3-D X-Rays. They are super helpful with the flex spending option through work and they offer a great payment plan to supplement. read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Marcus for three years now and I have very few complaints. The only one I can think of is that is difficult to laugh while someone is examining your teeth. I have had to deal with a rather complex case and Dr. Marcus has been very helpful and accomodating. The receptionist is a lovely woman who has always been incredibly helpful when it comes to scheduling appointments. read more

I was a patient of Alan Marcus' starting at the age of twelve. Every visit to his office has been a wonderful experience. Josephine and the rest of his staff have always been very friendly and greeted me as soon as I entered the door. Dr. Marcus has a gift for relating to patients; he often jokes with his patients and makes sure every visit enjoyable as well as productive. He is is very good at assuaging the fears of patients, young and old. The fear of braces made me sob in the dental chair and he calmed me down, talked me through the procedure and took extra care to make sure I was relaxed and unafraid before he began the work. He was very efficient in correcting my bite and made sure I was happy and well taken care of for the entirety of my time there. Dr. Marcus is a great orthodontist and I am always happy and willing to make the journey from San Francisco for my visits. read more

When looking for an ortho my husband didn't hesitate to send his children to the very man who did all his ortho work, and from what I hear he was a project. I have been taking the kids for a month now and I see why my husband was so convinced. The staff is nice and Dr. Marcus is very gentle and takes the time to fully explain everything. read more

I brought all three of my kids to Dr. Marcus for orthodontics and have been extremely impressed with his work, his manner and the outcome. My kids' teeth look great! Dr. Marcus is smart, thoughtful and professional. And besides this, he really understands teens, jokes with them, makes them feel comfortable and not dread their appointments. Not an easy feat with this age group. His office staff and assistants have been nothing less than professional, warm and accomodating. I would (and have) recommended him to many of my friends whose children need orthodontia. read more

Dr. Marcus and his dynamic staff are amazing! We've been going to the office for about a year and a half and it's always so much fun. The warmth, great attention to detail and professionalism that is felt every time we are in Dr. Marcus' office makes it a great place to go for both me and my children. We feel so fortunate to have Dr. Marcus and his staff in our lives and making our children's teeth/bites gorgeous!!! read more

Excellent service from the word GO! Personable for both parents and child! I feel like the most important patient they have!

Love love love this office! Very professional staff and Dr. Marcus knows his stuff! They are always on time and treats my daughter like a queen!

Glad we found him because we have four kids that all will need braces:) read more
