Testimonials

The best orthodontist around, we would gladly make the drive to see their friendly faces! The entire staff is so friendly and helpful. Couldn’t ask for a better experience with all the staff!
Absolutely fantastic experience with Dr. Spencer and the whole Up North team. The expander process was well explained to me and my son and had great results. Looking forward to getting his braces here!

Editing to share that we have had such a fantastic experience with Up North that I'm pursuing (adult) orthodontic work there now, too. Dr. Spencer is amazing (explains stuff well, fun to work with, great results) and the entire team is SO friendly and welcoming. Their technology use is also impressive - it isn't like getting orthodontic work back in the day! Overall, a wonderful experience.

We can't wait to continue the journey with you and your son as he begins his orthodontic treatment. If you ever have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out.

What a wonderful and welcoming staff here. They took great care in my son's consultation. We look forward to working with you in a couple of years.
UpNorth Ortho has the best team. They make you feel right at home and go the extra mile to make your experience the best
Everyone was so nice from the beginning to the end. Very thorough and upfront. I would definitely recommend!
Dr. Spencer and his office staff provide myself and my children the best experience I have ever had at an orthodontist office. His office staff were genuinely kind, helpful and pleasant to speak with. Dr. Spencer did an incredible job explaining his thoughts regarding treatment for two of my girls. By the time I left the office, I had a very clear understanding of what to expect moving forward and a very affordable finance plan. I was very pleased and look forward to working this office.
Response from the owner:Sara, thank you so much for your fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your children had such a great experience with Dr. Spencer and our office staff. We're equally excited to work with you and your family! If you ever have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out!
Staff was welcoming and accommodating. Building was nicely furnished and well kept. Prices seemed reasonable and options for payments were a welcome relief
We’re visiting from out of town, and they were willing to fix a wire in my son’s braces. The staff was super friendly, and the facility was really nice. The first orthodontist we called said they only see their own patients, so I was especially appreciative of Up North’s willingness to see us! What a great business!
Friendly, quick, informative. Love that they set you up with a plan.
Over the Memorial Day weekend my wife and I traveled to Boston to visit our son and daughter in law. We were met there by our daughter and our 7 year old granddaughter. At the end of our fun filled time in Boston we were going to take our granddaughter with us to Traverse City for her 7 week exciting summer vacation with Papa and Grammy. Our daughter was to return to Texas the day we were to leave Boston. That morning our Granddaughter’s expander came loose and we thought we would have to change our plans and she would have to return to Texas with her mother. We decided to call Up North Orthodontics to see if they might see her. Danielle was so pleasant and understanding. She arranged for my wife and I to bring our granddaughter in the very next day. We were thrilled that our plans to bring our granddaughter to Traverse City was not spoiled. We went on to fly back to Traverse City with our granddaughter. The next day at our scheduled appointment we were greeted at the front desk with a warm smile and very professional service. Dr. Spencer and his staff were wonderful. They made our granddaughter feel so very comfortable. They were so nice to her through her entire visit. My wife and I were amazed at how professional the staff was and how nicely we were treated. My wife and I were worried about adjusting the expander. We had never had to do anything like this in the past. The staff took extra time showing us how to use the expander tool and they actually had us practice using the tool. I was also very grateful at the very affordable price they charged us for their service. On our way out we were told that if there were any other issues please feel free to call them for another visit. Just a short time after our visit our granddaughter was back to normal with no more discomfort. My wife and I highly recommend up North Orthodontics to you.
Love Dr Spencer and his staff. Friendly, laid back environment. Welcoming for kids and adults as well. Let me add that they have state of the art equipment. Top notch!
Response from the owner:Wow, thank you Laura! We are so happy to hear that you enjoy our office and feel welcome here with us!
My daughter has been coming to Dr. Spencer for about 5 years and we love him. The entire staff is amazing and kind and patient which I absolutely love. One of the ladies in the office even remembered me from when I had braces probably about 20 years ago. Overall an amazing place and have recommended them several times and will do so over and over again!
Response from the owner:Ashley, thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your daughter have had such a positive experience with Dr. Spencer and our team over the years. It’s wonderful to know that our staff's kindness and attention to detail have left such a lasting impression. We really appreciate your recommendations and look forward to continuing to provide great care!
I was truly impressed by the care and attention I received from Dr. Crouch and his staff.
I’ve been incredibly happy with Dr. Crouch and the entire team at Up North Orthodontics. When I first began exploring orthodontic care for my daughter a few years ago, I was advised to consult with two different orthodontists and go with the one we felt most comfortable with. I chose two offices at random, and both recommended lengthy, complex treatment plans that left me feeling overwhelmed and uncertain.

After sharing my concerns with friends, several recommended Dr. Crouch—so we scheduled a third opinion. From the moment we walked in, we felt at ease. The staff was welcoming, and Dr. Crouch spoke directly to my daughter in a way that was calm, clear, and kind. He took his time explaining the plan and made sure we both felt comfortable moving forward.

The entire staff has been exceptional. They’ve gone above and beyond more than once—sending my daughter a postcard after a local theater performance and staying late one evening when she needed some reassurance after getting her braces.

I’m so grateful we found Dr. Crouch. He and his team truly provide outstanding care.
Amazing professionalism. Very friendly and compassionate with their clients. I would highly recommend Up North Orthodontics for everyone!
I made an appointment here to repair some ortho work i had done years ago at a now retired orthodontist. I came in for the initial appointment and everybody greeted me with a smile. They took x-rays, just like they would any new patient they take on. Then Dr. Crouch came in and talked with me about a plan to fix my broken wire. I assumed I would have to come back at a later date to get the wire adhered back on. He told me he could fix it same day, in about 45 minutes. No more than 5 minutes later, they came to get me to have the wire repaired. The entire experience was by far one of the best I’ve had. I’ll definitely recommend them to everyone I know.
Exceptional team and service!
Up North Orthodontics goes above and beyond for patients.
Dr. Spencer Crouch is awesome, both with kids and adults with questions. I loved that he approached our daughter’s case with care and didn’t jump at the chance to put her in braces but waited until the timing was best for her not to be in braces unnecessarily long. While being in braces is probably not everyone’s favorite thing, the experience was quite well managed. The staff are all incredible and answer questions and do a great job explaining what is going on and how the process works. I highly recommend this office without any hesitation!
So great to work with! Easy five stars! Amazing group of people!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Tory! We so appreciate it!
The staff was so friendly and I LOVED how they didn't try to rush through my consult like other places. They took time to explain, educate and have me plenty of opportunity to ask questions along the way. Thank you!
I visited UP North Orthodontics for a consultive appointment. Sara prepared me nicely for my visit with the doctor. Dr. Spencer Crouch is a perfect blend of professional and knowledgeable. He had a relaxed and friendly style. The facility is welcoming, and I would highly recommend UP North Orthodontics.

Very impressed by Dr. Spencer, his staff, and the office. We can in for adult braces consult. It is so nice that they do a free consultation, including x-ray and pictures. There was no pressure, but it was very informative and thorough. Dr. Spencer was so friendly. He made us feel confident in the treatment plan and recommendations he offered. We are looking forward to working with his office for braces. They gave a transparent breakdown of costs, and the 0% interest financing plan is so helpful. His office is gorgeous as well. Very professional and modern.

Everyone we met at Up North Orthodontics was fantastic! We were greeted warmly and didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes to be called back. Dr Crouch presented the into in a way that made perfect sense. It was easy to make a plan of care together and we enjoyed our time with him. We appreciate the great care from everyone there!
