About Corpus Christi Orthodontics
Dr. Colin Mihalik and his team regularly take over unfinished treatment from other offices and even fix emergency breaks for out-of-town patients.
Reviews describe Dr. Colin Mihalik as thorough and hands-on, seeing patients himself rather than rotating them through different providers, and taking over treatment plans smoothly after a previous doctor departed. The practice sees a steady stream of transfer patients, including those switching from failed clear aligner attempts elsewhere, and handles emergency repairs quickly even for travelers passing through Corpus Christi. Many describe treatment finishing on time or sooner than expected, with results ranging from straighter teeth to resolved TMJ and bite issues after years of discomfort. Staff are noted for warmth and for digging into insurance details to lower costs.
