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!

Tyler P.

This review has been a long time coming as I have had the privilege of working with Dr. Shane Markey and the 3 Leaf team for years as a general dentist; and now as a patient myself!As a dentist, you want the best for your patients, and that shouldn’t waiver when patients’ needs fall outside your purview. I know that when I send my patients to Dr. Markey they are truly in the best hands.As a colleague, I have always observed:1. Timely, organized, and thorough communication from 3 Leaf offices regarding our mutual patients’ care. Your dentist should be apprised of your orthodontic progress and the patient shouldn’t have to be the go between at cleanings or care appointments.2. The highest quality experience as reported by patients and parents. Dr. Markey is excellent with both pediatric and adult patients. Both offices are beautiful and impeccably clean. Appointments are smooth, anxiety-free, and efficient from scheduling to dismissal.3. Consistently superior orthodontic results.Dr. Markey has a well deserved reputation in and around Charlotte as the best! With locations in both Southpark and Waxhaw, the experience/results remain steadfast and that is why they continue to be my top orthodontist recommendation!As a patient, I see firsthand how Dr. Markey is unmatched in his skill, knowledge, and dedication by far. The entire team at both offices is engaging, personable, and competent. From treatment presentation, scheduling, clinical care, and follow up, you are in good hands!In the ever-changing landscape of dentistry in the greater Charlotte area, it is truly rare to find a specialist who is consistently so versatile, accessible, dedicated, and personable!Thank you, Dr. Markey, Annie, Janine and entire 3 leaf team for your exceptional care !

Tammy Lauren D.

As an adult who did not want to get my teeth fixed because I knew it would be a long and embarrassing process, I am SO happy I decided to come here! I was actually on the fence about making this review because I want to gatekeep my orthodontist but alas, I have chosen to do the right thing. Dr Markey and the staff are some of the kindest people I’ve ever met! They make the experience a thousand times better than it would have been if I’d gone somewhere else on this journey. Your treatment is explained in simple detail from day one. The front desk girl is so sweet and making appointments are simple and easy to get in. All the staff are very knowledgeable, professional, and kind. Dr Markey checks in with me every time I visit before I leave and always explains to me what’s going on and what to expect. The price is very reasonable and not to mention there are payment plans! If you’re on the fence and don’t know where to start your smile journey I would highly recommend making an appointment here and they’ll make it so easy to get everything started!

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 .
