About Redwood Orthodontics
Staff who greet patients by name and keep siblings entertained during waits, plus Dr. Micah Mortensen's humor with anxious kids, mark this office for families juggling multiple children in treatment.
At Redwood Orthodontics, front-desk staff greet patients by name and keep younger siblings occupied during waits, something families with several kids in treatment mention across years of visits. Dr. Micah Mortensen is described as using humor and patience with anxious or special-needs kids, and explaining treatment plans and costs at the first appointment. Results are generally described as excellent, with straight teeth and good bites confirmed by outside dentists, though a handful of reviews mention retainer or cement issues after braces came off.

UPDATE! Today I came back after a few year. Kathy has help me since I was 15 yrs old. I glad the doctor is no longer affiliated with Corporate management. My experience was wonderful today! I recommend everyone to come with Kathy and Dr. Mortensen. You will have a great experience.

Dr. Mortensen rescued us after someone else treated my daughter for a while. His work is amazing!

Dr. Mortensen and his staff are the very best. Everyone in my family sees them and it's because they are friendly, helpful, thorough, and easy to work with. My son really did not want braces and within the first visit he felt much better about it. I will refer them to all my friends and family.

Customers for life! We have consulted with at least 10 orthodontists and had service from three; Dr. Mortensen is the one we'll come back to time and again. He cares about the details, he's positive with the patients, and he cares about my experience as a parent. Every aspect of this practice is well thought out and helpful (from consult, to billing, to scheduling, to care and staffing).
