We had a wonderful experience at Three Leaf Orthodontics! From our consultation with Dr. Shane Markey, he took the time to explain all of our daughter's treatment options and made her feel comfortable and excited about getting braces. The staff was friendly, patient, and made the entire process easy. My daughter loves the Patient Rewards Program, which encourages great brushing and flossing habits. We also appreciated Carolina's follow-up call to check on her after her braces were placed. We highly recommend Dr. Markey and the entire team—you won't be disappointed!

When was the last time you sent an email to a dr and they actually answered it themselves? Dr Markey does. He is super caring and always jokes around with the kids. He went way out of his way for us to work around our international family vacation. The staff is friendly and very competent. Billing is super simple with no errors. He produces great smiles and the pricing is fair.

Me and my two kids have been patients of Three Leaf and Dr Markey for 8 years now and haven’t had anything but positive experiences.From the uber friendly and -more importantly- qualified and professional staff, clean and modern office, scheduling and appointment availability, urgent need for help, to the wonderful Dr himself, who is the most energetic and positive person I haw ever met.Results have been great with orthodontics for kids, teenagers and adult, using traditional brackets, Invisalign and everything in between, and while I can’t say I look forward to seeing them (He is a dentist after all ;), none of us mind going there for our exams, treatment and checks because it’s always a positive experience.

There aren’t enough words to describe how great Three Leaf Orthodontics is. From the moment you walk in you encounter a welcoming, caring atmosphere and it continues with every person you come in contact with. Dr. Markey is very knowledgeable and detail oriented. He explains everything in a way that both kids and parents can understand. This is now our third child coming to Three Leaf Orthodontics for braces and there is no other place I would ever think of taking him. Our experiences with our two other children were exceptional as well and they have beautiful smiles to show for it!

I got orthodontics treatment both for me and my daughter from this place. What I loved the most about this place was their great customer service and attention to details. Dr. Markey was remarkable, he spent a lot of time clarifying my doubts regarding the treatment. I have been to other orthodontics too but by far this is the best place.

Oh my where do I start. As a single parent I’m use to not being able to bring my little one along with me to my appointments. Here they not only made me welcome but my little five year old as well. The customer service is amazing from the front to the back. Mr. Markey is amazing with such a caring personality. This is my first time with braces and I can say my first experience has been the best. My little one is still asking me can she come back to the office or how long will she have to wait till it’s her turn. The work that was done is amazing and the customer service is what sold me I’m grateful .

WHAT’S IN A NAME? Our Mission…..
It’s no surprise that a guy who grew up in Ireland might choose a smiley shamrock for his office logo! The name ‘Three Leaf Orthodontics’ echoes that logo. The three- leaf shamrock is a symbol that is synonymous throughout the world with, Irish hospitality, kindness and fun.
The use of the shamrock as a symbol dates all the way back to the time of St. Patrick, when he is said to have used the three leaves to represent the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, while explaining the Holy Trinity. Others see the shamrock now, more broadly, symbolizing faith, hope and love.
When I set about creating the office of my dreams, I had two criteria: it had to be filled with genuine kindness and, it had to have a patient centered culture, buzzing with the spirit of family and friendship. My role as an orthodontist blesses me with treating children and adults of all ages. Our patients quickly become friends, and members of our extended family. Hence, our tag line: ‘making friends, creating smiles’. I hope you like it.
